Draft in a tulip at the Gage, Michigan Ave. Well, almost every beer they serve comes in a tap. But for this style it’s appropriate. Very slight haze of a light copper beer with a thin head. Smell of American IPA hops, citrus and pine from likely Cascade and Columbia, maybe some Amarillo. But I can also smell some warm malts at the same time. Tasting hands the baton back to the hops, which are more bitter than the bouquet. Strong backbone of malts slowly reasserts itself. Good for sipping with the gage’s signature fish & chips (French Fries more than the English style chips, I believe).

22oz bomber courtesy of Brian. Filtered orange-tan, thin steady white head. Mellow, light to medium bodied. Really sessionable, clean golden malt tones. Really well balanced, delicate hop balance. Simple, but quite nice.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear reddish amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a lot a good amount of fruit and spice with a bit of a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has more of an earthy grain/bread start that’s joined by light fruit and spice in the finish.

Sampled from the tap at the Kedzie location. Pours a near clear deep brown with a slight amber hue and a small gray head that dissipates completely. Aroma is very bourbon forward with vanilla and backing dark grains and dark fruit. Flavor has strong bourbon and vanilla with an alcohol burn backed by sweet dark grains and dark fruit. Too boozy.
