Commercial Description:
Our American IPA has an intense hop aroma and flavor. The hop character is citrusy, floral, and fruity (orange/grapefruit) from the use of Summit hops. The complex malt flavor profile supports the strong hop flavor. BarFly is a continuation of our tavern theme. Every tavern has its share of barfly's - people who visit frequently.

Bottle: Pours a hazy copper color with an off white head. Aroma, citrus, floral, and some spicy hops, bready pale malts. Flavor, caramel, some spice, a bit bready, with a slight bitterness.

Fruity, spices, and pleasant hops aroma. Clear copper. Grapefruit bitterness, which is mildly off-set by sweet malts, but bitternss lingers.

Pours a typical American IPA color. This thing has tons of floaters. Might be clear if not for the floaters. Decent white head with some lacing. I can’t place the smell but is somewhat chemical. Tart hoppy flavor. Not much body. Some bitterness. Almost no malt flavor. This is really average.

Medium brown in color with a nice foamy off-white head this is a nice looking beer. Aroma is typically very hoppy and tart. The hops give a sharp bite to the flavor and leave some bitterness. Some citrus but not a lot. It is a pretty good IPA and is consistent throughout. Too bad this is not a favored style of mine.

Pours honey orange with a head that quickly reduces to ring around the tulip. Sugary citrus hop are initially a nice entrance, but they aren’t nearly well defined enough and become really mushy as the beer warms. The earthy yeast also becomes more apparent, as well as the husky malt. The hops become real resinous and bitter in the finish. An OK attempt at the style, but in a the sea of fresh IPAs out there, this one sinks.

Poured dark honey/orangey. Aroma was floral. Taste was pine and floral hops, not as much citrus as I expected. Not one of my favorite IPAs.

A fairly mild IPA. Average floral hop aroma. Unfiltered honey color with a medium uneven head. Mild bitterness with a dry finish. Not very memorable.

Darkish orange. Fitish the traditional american defitnition of IPA. Strong Floral hops but still very drinkable.
