Expect this ale to pour a glass brimming with rich caramel flavors along with an intense hop aroma that you won't soon forget. Cleanly bitter and aromatic, this ale is not for the faint of heart.

I got this in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!
This pours from 12oz bottle a hazy deep amber with a thick head of foam with lots of lacing. The foam subsides after a few minutes but there's still a fine layer left as I get closer to the bottom of my glass.
The smell is a nice mix of caramel malt and citrus hops.
The taste has a very good caramel malt flavour up front..very nice. That's followed by some hops..some grass and some citrus and a touch of dark fruit. The hops aren't overpowering at all and that's fine by me as there are plenty of American IPAs that give you that real hop punch. This is nice and tasty and smooth. It has a fairly thick mouthfeel and the carbonation is fairly light as well. It finishes with a nice balance of malt and hops. I like this son of a gun! Thanks a bunch John for sending this one my way!

Nice rich copper coloured body with a glow of orange and even some peach colours with a thinnish, one centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of bright piney and resinous hops with a bit of malt noticeable and a hint of sweetness from fruits. Medium-bodied; Mildish hop notes with grassy and herbal flavours and a smooth maltiness that makes the beer go down very easily. No alcohol or assertive flavours at all, and almost no bitterness, including none from the hops at all. Overall, a pretty disappointing beer - drank almost as fresh as I could have had it, but without any hop notes and nothing tasting much like an IPA at all. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Ridgeview Liqour in Green Bay, Wisconsin on 29-July-2012 for US$1.99 sampled at home in Washington on 03-September-2012.

Bottle @ home, courtesy of kbutler1. Thanks again, Kevin! A touch hazy, a little brownish, dark orange appearance with a big, cream colored head. Very nice, orange/grapefruit citrusy, slightly earthy hoppy, a little bit toasty malty aroma. Moderately bitter, orange, grapefruity citrus hoppy, toasted malty, a touch resiny flavor. Overall, a pretty nice IPA.

An orange amber IPA with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet piney hops, menthol, light papaya pulp and tropical fruits. In mouth, a smooth piney hops with menthol coolness, herbal and refreshing, very nice and well balanced. On tap at Istmus Beer and Cheese Fest, Jan 21 2012.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma is a pretty nice pine and citrus mix with some florals in it. Flavor has a strong toasty biscuit to it, backed by hoppy citrus, floral, grassy flavors. I have to say, the biscuit tastes a little stale and isn’t my favorite here. This is just okay.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Wine & Spirits in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed on Friday the 13th before hanging out with a good friend. Appearance is a pretty clear brownish amber with a thin white head that rims around the glass. Aroma is a fantastic balance between citrus and grassy, very light amount of yeast/malt in the back end, smells pretty good. Taste is very good, not as hoppy as some other IPA’s out there, but done very well with a good citrus bitterness. It’s a very clean IPA, considering New Glarus’ other clean repertoire, I’d say this is great. Well done!

As far as IPAs go, this is a pretty good one, though not great (and certainly not as good as one might expect from New Glarus). Pours a light amber color with thin head. Some intense hop aroma with a grapefruit and citrus flavor, finishing with an agreeable hop bitterness.
