This pale bronze beer is medium in body with intense hop flavor and aroma. Our IPA is brewed in the style of the “west coast” with robust hop character coming from American grown varieties of hops. IPA’s are amongst the most popular craft brewed beers as they have moderate strength and tons of flavor. This is not your Grandfathers beer! 5.9% alcohol by volume, 60 IBUs

Bottle. Pours clear pale amber with a large white creamy head that slowly dissipates with nice lacing. Quite a pungent aroma, citrus, mango, hemp, cat piss. Dank is a good word. Flavor is about the same, more subdued than aroma. Not much sweetness, medium bitterness, a bit spicy perhaps - rye? Quite light bodied.

12oz bottle split with Anndiesel. Slightly hazy orange-tan body, steady creamy white head. A really solid IPA which remains sessionable, I’m really impressed. Grassy, straw dry hop character, some melon in there too, not one-dimensional. I’d be really happy to serve or drink this as a house IPA.

A golden IPA with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, classic pungent piney hops with smooth biscuit malt. In mouth, a nice crisp biscuit malt with good floral and pungent hops, nice and smooth. On tap at Time Out Wings, Herndon, VA, Oct. 12 2012.

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 11/21/12
Aroma: This one has a floral hop nose with some pine and citrus notes as well
Appearance: It has a gold colored pour with a lasting white head and coating white lace
Flavor: Component-wise, the flavor is much like the nose, it is light sweet and medium-plus bitter
Palate: This one has a light-medium body, with a little dryness, and a crisp, clean finish
Overall Impression: Overall, this is a pretty classic, and fairly well-made example of an IPA. Quite solid and enjoyable. It is not a top-of-style IPA, but this is still a very solid one.

Bottled. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, malt, and citrus fruits, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks madsberg for sharing.
