Bottle drank at some crazy hole in the wall in Washington, PA with Casper. Pours a deep amber. The body is light and has a small head. A real hoppy flavor and aroma. Also some nice malt and citrus flavors. A great IPA, smooth and refreshing.

Pours a cloudy golden brown with a nice thick creamy head. Lightly carbonated with a pretty good balance of hops. Goes down really smooth, lasting finish. Really good offering. Not over the top with hops like a lot of IPA’s.

pours lighter amber with dense white head. Nice pine, slightly citrus hop aroma. Hops bite from the very first sip, carbonation enhances the bitterness. Malt is in the background but it’s all about the hops here.. As the beer warms, there is a bit more balance. Not overly bitter. Palate is not so much as full as it is prickley.

(Draught) Amber and clear. Medium sized white head. Citricness, hops and malts in aroma. Medium bodied palate with medium carbonation. Malts, citriceness, hops and bitterness in taste. Malty and bitter aftertaste.

Banana smell to this IPA, nice head. Different style of IPA with a slight fruit taste. Not so strong of a flavor compared to typical IPAs.

Pours a very clear light golden amber with wispy near white head. Sweet pineapple, some graininess, and a nice floral hop finish. Solid IPA. Great name and a terrific label.

2008 Flour City Brew fest. I’m not a big IPA fan, but I liked this one. A fruity aroma was noticeable. Enjoyable fruit flavor with a light hoppy ending.
