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 thanks to thirdeye11. Notes of citrus, earth, body odor, poop, and sweat. So basically a nursing home.

Bottle courtesy of thirdeye11. Light orange pour. A bit of hops on the aroma. Smell has a bit of BO to it. Taste is heavy on the hops with some musty hop taste as well. Interesting.

Pours slightly hazy amber with an off white head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, and some citrusy hop (the bottles are pretty old but aren’t dated). Flavor is citrusy hop, but with toffee and slightly oaked flavors from the age. Not bad.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear copper colour, small head. Concentrated perfumy nose with pine needles and mango. Fairly sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Lightly roasty with salty, lightly resiny finish providing good bitterness. Pleasant unheralded IPA.

Aroma: Caramel, smokey smell. Appearance: Nice dark golden brown color. Flavor: Somewhat bitter, like most IPAs. Palate: medium body, fizzy carbonation, bitter aftertaste. Overall: Pretty decent IPA.

Found this one bottled at a liquor store in St. John, Indiana, as part of a mix 12 pack of various beers from Indiana brewers. Cloudy, medium brown pour with a lacy head, a mild, malty nose, flavor is a bit on the soft side for a pale ale, but still the hoppiness is omnipresent, with plenty of muted citrusy and flowery hoppiness. A decent brew -- and I wonder why the "tavern style?"
