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.

Big Horn brews tend to be overly hopped, so when they say, "medium hopped," beware. orange peel and a bit of cinnamon give this IPA some complexity, but the hoppy finish overrides that.

Draft at the Tacoma Waterfront location. Slightly hazyu reddish copper. Light gray lace. Little bit of carb. Nutty nose, very slight. Creamy medium body. Tangy apricot mid-palate, with a longish citric bittery finish.

Red amber pour with off-white head. Roast and citrus on the nose. Flavor has a nice orange zest hit that is followed up by a hint of roasted malt. Medium body with some bite on the end.

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.
