Aroma of grain and alcohol. No hops, which is fine. Very carbonated, with a tall and thick head on top of the brown beer. Not rich really, in fact the palate is kind of thin.

growler from my father in law, pours hazy light amber with a tall frothy off white head. Mellow citrus hop aroma is notes of toast and bread. Very strong pine hop flavor with a lightly sweet bready malt touch. Not bad, this packed a bigger punch than I thought.

draft at Ft Wayne GC - Pours deep copper with a big off-white head. The aroma is all about the grapefruit accented hops. The flavor is intensely hopped with citrus and a touch of pine. The hop bitterness is not as intense as some double IPAs though the style is still clear. A malt body with a hint of caramel lends a little sweetness to it and the accustomed hop heavy finish of the style is there. It’s not the best double IPA, but it’s good and I’m pleasantly surprised GC offers this less accessible style for a change. They poured it into their usual 25 oz mug club member glass, which surprised me as well. That’s a heck of a lot of brew at 9% abv.

Sample at the Creve Coeur, MO brewpub. The beer is a copper-briwn color with a thin light beige head that recedes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Mild earthy malt aroma with notes of caramel and corn. Light body with flavors of sweet caramel malt and mild hops. The finish is short and sweet malt. Overall the brewer is basically taking 2 mediocre beers and somehow making them even less appealing.
