A much maligned style in the early days of the craft beer movement, many just didn't want the caramel/crystal malt paired with a robust hop profile of IPA. I always liked it. This one is just like that, and is good so far as it goes. Though I'm sorry to say I can smell a touch of diacetyle on the nose. Otherwise resiny hop aroma and flavor. Fairly balanced to semi-dry, I'd almost want more malt profile to come through on a red IPA, with a carbonic bite, mildly aggressive grassy and resinous hop flavors. Medium bitterness. Finish leans dry with a lingering citrus hop bitterness. Can from a Fresh Market in Winter Springs FL

Can total wine. Off pale mild haze brownish, maybe a hair of maroon, in there. Smells like fresh immature green pine cones. First taste is one big bad ass blast of 30mm IPA, right into your pie whole. Whew. Terribly bitter, bordering on astringent sharp phenollicness. Super strong arrogant bitchy bastard, whew. This warthog is a fairchild republic thunderbolt single-can, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic palate IPA attack, providing macro lager beer cover across my taste buds, attacking armored vehicles, tanks, and other enemy ground forces on the way. Whew. A terribly on style IPA. If you like IPA, better get a sample of this tactical close air support IPA. There, you have it, lucky my tongue survived the bud killing onslaught of the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary autocannon. Whew, did I already say that! OK then, wow.

Rust and a little caramel. Some pine. Pretty good for style--bitter with decent body, if not a ton of flavour. Pours dark copper with decent head. Bitter end. Can.
