IMO - Cannon Brewpub’s best... Very similar to the red jacket ale but hoppier and crispier. Deep amber. My favorite of their selection

Had on tap at the Columbus location. My choice for a pint out of the sample. Above average for a small brewpub IPA. Dark orange appearance, sticky white head, good lacing. Spucey, fresh aroma. Has some grapfrutiy bitterness to it, but is balanced out quite nicely with a malty backend. Smooth mouthfeel.

Not a very good example of this style in my opinion. Very lightly hopped and very dry. Kind of boring and disappointing. Fruity, and acidic, with a bit of grapefruity sweetness.

On Tap at the pub: Light orange with thin head. Well hopped with a bitter finish. Too dry in the finish a la Grant's.
