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.

Draft at CI Shenanigans, Spokane. Clear, amber-copper with a medium-sized and lasting head. Aroma is citrus-pine hops. Initial flavor is the same, turns to a more malty and nutty flavor and has a nice bitter ending. Palate is smooth, almost medium-bodied, slightly dry and refreshing.

Had this one at the brewpub in Schaumburg, Illinois. Hazy dark orange pour with a thick, fluffy head, profoundly hoppy with piney and citrusy bitterness. Very bitter and very good.

Pours hazy golden with a small, nicely lacing white head. Nose is mellow grapefruit hops, faint creamy malt. Strong grapefruit hops flavor that segues into a short biscuity malt middle and finishes with a long, bitter finish that continues to taste of citrus. Pretty good.

On draft @ Ram. Served up way too cold in an 18oz tumbler. This big red IPA doesn’t really look all that red. It’s kind of a light copper with abundant tan head. The aroma is light but has a nice grapefruit hop punch with much lesser amounts of malt. The flavor has a tasty grapefruit hop bitterness with hints of a floral hop quality. Near midway a sweet pale to lightly roasted maltiness comes out. Not long after the maltiness succumbs to the somewhat bitter grapefruit hop finish. Nice IPA.

Tap - Lacey, WA
A deep amber color with a nice hopped aroma. The flavor was a deep hoppy flavor with a nice flavor of malts. This was a very good IPA. Not over the top with hops which is good.

On draft in Dallas: Beer pours an attractive dark honey color. The aroma is hoppy and floral. Flavor is hoppy, somwhat bitter with some malt for balance. This is a solid IPA. Palate is clean. I enjoy this IPA. Growlerable.

Growler: Hazy orange, golden tinge, moderate to large pillowy off-white head, decent lacing.   Nose of dull hops, slight grainy malts, a little musty.   Raw hop bitterness up front, a bit gritty and grainy.   Light malt backing, with a false back end.   Dies real quick on the backside, a bit thin.   Looked great, but seems a bit muddled.   Body and mouthfeel bordering on the thin side.   Finish is lacking.   Doesn’t follow through on the finish.   Meh...

On tap at Ram - Wheeling, IL. Poured a clear, lighter orangey-golden with a short cap of white head and some nice lacing. More of a focus on the caramel and grapefruit in the nose than the pine, grapefruit, and lemony hops beneath. Flavor was of sweet caramel with a more assertive well-placed grapefruit and pine bitterness.. candy-like bitter twist at the finish.. tasty. Medium body. Nice transition from sweet, smooth middle to a moderately bitter finish.. felt very good.
