Our traditional American IPA recipe is chock-full of Chinook hops bursting with pine and citrus aromas. Firm bitterness and a balanced malt profile gives way to waves of flavor.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: copper to orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: balsam/piney freshness - somewhat like needles, then some lemon and a clean malt
Flavor: bittersweet blend of the prior mentioned aromas, light aftertaste of pine and malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along my tongue; finishes crisp, pine and malty
Overall: pretty nicely done IPA worthy of coming back to.

Slight haze, no head. Toasty, rich, chinooky, some alcohol. Some if this works but some of this…not an optimized 2002 IPA. Just had to be there I guess.

Can split at L6, thanks to New Ken, 21/03/19. Hazed golden amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is bitter orange, ripe melon, dank edge, raw citric peel, straw. Taste comprises ripe citric flesh, pine needle, spruce, bitter orange, grass. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with semi aggressive hop bitterness. Decent IPA ... a little on the raw side to be a great for me.

Can, from Beer Run. Pours clear light golden with foamy off-white head, minty citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, bitter citrus peel taste, pineapple flavor, thin body, long bitter finish. Satisfying IPA.

Taster pour at The Grill Next Door. Appearance is clear golden yellow with light sparkle, less-than-finger-width white foamy head with decent retention and minimal lacing on top of the glass. Aroma is almost nonexistent--mild herb/hemp. Taste is strong hemp with slight pine. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with lingering bitter. Overall, a bit odd to have such a herbal/hempy profile as I was expecting huge pine.

Can from AJ's. nice hop nose, orange and grapefruit, resinous pine, biscuity malts. Almost clear gold, with a high, rocky head. Rich malts, bread and biscuit, light honey. Hops are citrus, stone fruit, pine, and a resinous, bitter finish. Don't really like Chinook single hops, but this one is pretty damn good. The resins are huge. Tasty as always from Lawson's.
