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.

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.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with Sephiroth (thanks!). Poured a deeper amber/orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, grapefruit, pine, light caramel, and had a floral/green hoppiness to it. Tastes of grapefruit, oranges, light caramel, and had a sugary sweetness to it as well. Not overly bitter. Not bad, a beer I could sit down and drink a sixer of.

Pours a transparent bright copper orange with a spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malts with a touch of resiny, piny hops. Starts with good fullness and sweet crystal maltiness with a decent balance of piny bittering and flavor hops. Finishes with nice residual sweetness and a crisp bitterness. Certainly more on the maltier side of IPAs, but I like it.

Bottle... Murky amber ale with a small, creamy, white head. Lots of large floaties. The aroma is of dark malts and herbal hops. Bitter flavor for certain, but interesting... grapefruit rind with whispers of caramel and milk chocolate. Medium-bodied with a callous mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Finishes with bitter tannins and then bone-dry. Kudos to MI2CA for floating this bottle my way!

Bottle courtesy of stfun. Pours copper with a white head. Smells of oranges, dough, some perfume. Tastes of light bitterness, some molasses, a touch of resin, hints of spice. Enjoyable.
