We took the traditional IPA, originally shipped from England to India in the 1700′s, and made it bolder and more flavorful—American Style. We added new varieties of highly aromatic American hops to create a distinctive bitterness profile and an incredible hop character.

12 oz. bottle. Thanks, Dean! Pours a hazy, orange color, with a medium, foamy, beige head. Sharp piney aroma with some light floral notes, black pepper, and some butterscotch. Sweet, with a nice, assertive bitterness. Medium body, with a sticky, grainy, and hard mouthfeel. This is a simple and solid IPA.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 3/20/2018. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, light caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an awesome IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, never aggressive. Old school IPA, classic C and Amarillo hops. Great mix of juicy, dank, and earthy hop complexity; nice bready Vienna malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. A really enjoyable offering, loved the hop profile.

Pours deep gold from the bottle. Frothy white head with some lacing. Aroma is pine, grapefruit, melon. Taste is bitter, quite dry, hints of an underlying, fruity sweetness. A very light warmth at the end. Body is medium, average carbonation. Overall pretty good, but nothing exceptional.

On tap at Falling Rock, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out piney hops, some herbal notes and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, herbal and vegetal notes, and biscuity malt. A bit on the herbal side, but it's still certainly well-made. Nice IPA.

Bought this beer on a lark. Had never heard of it but it came from Colorado so I thought, why not? I enjoy New Belgium. A nice pour, a darkish yellow. Okay smell from it, no real promise given. Hop central, of course. Pine, finishes with a not unpleasant but rather slight sweetness. Not nearly my favorite IPA but I do enjoy it. I am sure I will access this one again

Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Tom L. Golden. Aroma of mild citric hops, slightly stale. Flavor has mild malt sweetness, and mild bitterish citric hops. Medium-bodied.
