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.

Excellent piney/citrus aroma. Pours moderate amber with reddish notes. Good hop flavor - rather dank and marijuana like flavor with some citrus. Moderate body. Overall, a solid IPA, though it would be better without the weed flavor.

Scent of citrus and other fruits. Fairly strong hop flavor, however, this flavor is only average compared to other IPA’s. This also means the beer is not as dry as most IPA’s, which is a plus for me. Aside from the hops, there is really no other flavor present. If I am going to go through the bitterness of this IPA, I would like there to be ’more to it’. But there isn’t.

12oz bottle courtesy of stfun37. Smells oddly un-hoppy but then again it is fruity so I’m full of shit aren’t I? Dark-orange color with a good head. Very easy to drink, I killed it. The flavor was some fruits, seemed more like an English style IPA than American. This is a slew-footed beer if ever I saw one. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 02-24-2009 04:35:35 --

decaturstevo’s Febmergency Tasting. Sample from a bottle thanks to decaturstevo. Pale orange with a thin white head. Grapefruit hop aroma. Sweet caramel malt with a big bitter spice, herbal and citrus finish.

Hazy orange brown pour with a white head. Aroma of hops and fruits, mostly citrus. Flavor is sweet of fruits with balanced bitterness. Solid but not particularly strong.

Orange pour with white head and lace that fads quickly. Light citrus hops on the nose. A very nice citrus bitter preceded by a slight medicine taste. Medium bodied with aggressive carbonation. A very average ipa

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at his Februmergency Tasting. Deep gold body with a whit head. Toasty, nutty (almost peanuty) malty aroma. Nutty with a nice bitter balance.
