Commercial Description:
This big, rich IPA features Simcoe hops which give it both a fruity, piney hop nose and a clean, ringing bitterness. IN-between, the malt flavor is slightly caramel for a touch of malt sweetness. This IPA is well-balanced and very expressive with hops.

A pretty nice IPA. If this were local I would reach for this a lot. Nice clear coopper color. Pine and slight sweetness in the aroma. Good caramel malt back bone with a sticky resin pine flavor and finish.

Amber with a medium off-white head. It has a predominantly pine hop aroma. The taste begins sweet and ends very bitter.

Bottle - Amber with a foamy head. Hoppy aroma with caramel, grapefruit and a hint of chocolate. Hoppy and bitter taste with grapefruit, toffee, raisins and chocolate. The finish is bitter, hoppy and fruity. Nicely balanced and enjoyable.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Deep amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with orange peel, grapefruit, caramel and a touch of pine needles. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, grapefruit, pine needles and fresh hops in the finish. Well balanced, tasty and solid IPA with a fresh, hoppy bitterness. Medium body, fairly dry. Nice beer.

Sampled at 2009 WIU Performing Arts Society Beerfest. Red amber with small off-white head, totally diminishing. Very nice resinous pine and sweet malt aroma with brown sugar and toffee and underlying peach. Nicely balanced sweet/bitter flavor, the caramel malts really pop. Finish is quickly waning, just a touch thin towards the end. My favorite of the IPAs I sampled at the festival.

Aroma is amazing. Huge hop aroma. Taste is a bit tart with a lot of hop flavor. Not a ton of bitterness. I wish it had a bit more malt backbone. Great beer. I have liked just about anything Big Sky brews.
