tap - Light malt aroma, malty taste with a touch of fruit, a highly carbonated mouthfeel, and a too thin body. It’s smooth and easy to drink with a clean finish.

Cask sampler at Broad Ripple. Well, their porter seemed more like a stout, and this semelleed more like a porter. Go fig. So a mellow roasty porter smell from a creamy thick head. First thing I taste is a good velvety cask mouthfeel. Deep mahogany brown color. Seems to be stronger than the 4.7% abv listed.

Draft sampler at Broad Ripple. Starts with a very strong coffee and chocolate smell. The first taste even brings out a bit of chicory. Turns kind of dry toward the finish. With all that dark roast malt, it’s closer to a stout. But extra points for being on cask.

Draft at Broad Ripple. Nice orange color that carries through a bit in the flavor. Slightly tart and dry start gives way to a chewy, syrupy and woody taste. Not much head to speak of. Finished nice and peppery. After going through all of their samplers, this was the beer I had for a full pint before closing.

Draft sampler at Broad Ripple. Big where it counts, in those northwestern citrussy hops we know and love. A bit grassy after that. Cloudy coppery appearance with a big piney smell. That’s all I wrote? Must be getting to the end of the sampler platter. Very nice beer.

Draft sampler at Broad Ripple. So, this one’s had a long life for a brewpub offering. And it seems to have been refined over the years to a smooth offering today. Slightly hazy brown body. Despite being served on CO2, it’s got a light, cask-type mouthfeel. Seems to be more hops than usual for this style, in fact I get a bit of Northwestern hop notes, but just enough to make this one interesting. A touch of fruitiness or "stale beer" rounds out the glass.

Draft sampler at Broad Ripple. Hazy yellow with a thin head. Has a bit hefe than an American wheat ought to have. A touch of banana and clove, but just a touch. Still, a very suitable summer beer, served without a lemon, thank you.

Draft sampler at Broad Ripple. Light, and also a touch cloudy. Seems to have a bit of honey to it, but their menu says no. Nice light malt profile that you can actually taste. Should probably find another category besides English Pale Ale, as this easy drinking beer would only suffer in comparison.
