Commercial Description:
Brewed as a medium India Pale Ale, this full-flavored moderately hopped beer has the strongest hop character of our ales. Made for hopheads and new beer aficionados. The grist composition is 94% Pale malt, with the remaining grain bill consisting of carastan malts. The finishing Mt. Hood hop addition in the whirlpool gives this beer a good hop character without becoming excessively bitter. The beer is fined instead of filtered so the hop character is not stripped away.

It wasn’t a world beating IPA, but its better than 16% in my opinion. It was among the best that Humperdinks had to offer. I thought there was enough balance, but it was certainly hop-light for an IPA.

Tap at westminster brewpub. A nice red color with some decent aromas. A well balanced easy drinking IPA. Not bad, not great.

On tap at brewpub in downtown Indianapolis. Thought this was an easy-drinking, flavorful IPA. Light amber body with an off-white, fizzy head that was lasting. Aroma of citrus and toffee — hints of grapefruit, pine. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The bitterness kicks up a notch in the finish. Medium body with a watery texture. Lively carbonation. Very dry.

A generous gift from my dear friend Emilee :) An attractive reddish-copper colour with an always decent white head with excellent retention. Very nice lacing scattered along the glass. soft citrus fruit, well balanced hop character, a little earth and nice fruit flavor.

(Ram Restaurant and Brewery, Schaumburg, IL) Draft... DLD’08... Clear golden ale with a large, creamy, off-white head. No retention, but nice lacework. Toffee and citrus notes dominate the aroma. Medium-bodied with a ridiculously dry mouthfeel and tingly carbonation. Finishes violently bitter and sucks all moisture from my mouth. Over-attenuated, for certain. Still, an aromatic, tasty brew.
