This is it. The classic American IPA. Bold, bitter, hoppy and a bit malty. Brewed with 100% Michigan hops including a whole pile of Centennial for citrus and a handful of Chinook for pine. Twist all of that together with a few pounds of caramel malt in the mash and you have a well balanced, thirst quenching haymaker of an IPA. The way it should be.

On tap at the brewery. Pours golden amber with a white head. Citrus and caramel aroma with a touch of butterscotch. Flavor is citrusy, pine, floral hops with a solid bitterness. Biscuity malt and again a touch of butterscotch. A solid IPA.

16 ounce prowler into tulip glass, filled on 2/10/2019. Pours slightly hazy medium orange amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky cream colored head with awesome retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, melon, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, melon, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, melon, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, caramel, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an excellent IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Awesome classic Chinook/Centennial profile. Very juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great dark/bready malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on classic tasting Midwest style example.
