Hazy golden coloured body with a thick, dense off-white head. Aroma of fresh citrus hops, a lot of yeast, ton of malt and a nice coriander seed freshness not usually picked up with this style. Medium-bodied; Assertive hoppy flavour at first with a pungent spicey and yeastie kick, then showing more of a wit flavour with a decent amount of hops. Aftertaste shows dryness and a touch hoppy character with a good malt backbone and some serious spicey and yeastie flavours coming through at the end. Overall, a nice and rather different IPA - slightly witty, but definitely still hoppy. A nice American IPA and definitely worth trying if you can find it. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 28-April-2011 for US$1.79 sampled this American beer at home today, after visiting the Pentagon on the ten year anniversary of 9/11, two blocks south of the Pentagon on 11-September-2011. God Bless everyone affected and their families on this occasion.

On tap at Reno’s East, East Lansing. Hazy coppery red-brown body, medium tight buff head. Sweet nose, mainly toasty with brown sugar. Sweet, toasty body with brown sugar, delicately bitter leafy hops, and hints of candy corn. A pretty good domestic oktoberfest.
