Mad Hopper IPA 6.8%-on tap-pours a retaining off white head that laces and hazy amber color. Aroma is resin/herbal/orange, some medium malt. Taste is orange/grapefruit/resin/herbal hops bite, sweet medium malt backbone. Easy. Medium/full body.

Tap at TBBC. Pours amber with frothy beige head. Aroma of floral hops. Taste is thick, light caramel and malts. Smooth mouthfeel of floral hops with notes of citrus. Good and easy to drink. A less bitter version of their other IPA.

Draft at TBBC. Pours clear deep gold to copper with full light tan head. The light aroma is hoppy with mild floral, spice and pine hops. Behind that is an under lying malt sweetness and mild caramelization. The taste begins mild with some sweetness from the malts and the beginning of the hop bill. Quickly the mild floral hops combined with mild spice hops take hold and are joined by some pine hop bitterness. I’m having a tough time picking apart the hop profile. It isn’t that searing pine hop bitterness or other bold hoppiness. It is however subtle levels of several mild hop notes that morph into a soft hop presence. This beer has a nice malty component that seems to join in force about midway with mild roasted malts and sweet caramelization. As the finish approaches the pine hop bitterness grows with some faint floral hops right into the after taste. Enjoyable IPA that is serve bitterly cold. I want to taste my beer man! Too cold, too cold.
