Thanks Vanessa.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a burnt toasty red color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a decent pace.
The aroma had a nice blend of caramel/toffee malts to piney/resinous hops. Slight spruce-like wood with a little bit of citrusy zest then some leather and dried leaf.
The flavor rounded the previously mentioned aromas together gently, somewhat sweet with an embracing bitterness striding in. Zesty sort of popping hops to caramel malt base in the aftertaste rolling into the finish.
The feel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation and ABV felt appropriate. Bitter harshness was there but not distracting as there’s some acceptable creaminess softening along my tongue.
Overall, is this what we call a Nebraska styled IPA? I’m not sure, but this was good and I’d have again.

On tap at the brewery. Hazy dark reddish orange appearance with a white head. Caramel, pine, and some pepper. Medium body. Bland caramel water with bitter, bland, piney hops. Not offensive but dull and unimaginative.
