ElBorracho (472), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 9, 2007 Bottle. Pours a murky copper with orange highlights. Malt forward aroma with caramel and toffee showing strength. Bitter hops upfront in the flavor that linger nicely. Finishes with a slightly stale aftertaste.
msante79 (341), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Nov 20, 2008 On tap at brewery. Pours reddish amber with creamy off-white head. Aroma hops, caramel malt and light citrus. Flavor is malt and citrus. Where are the hops? How they can call this an IPA I don’t know. It is not hoppy enough to be even an APA. Disapointing. WakeandBake (150), Greenville, Michigan, USA Oct 30, 2008 Bottle. Hazy brown color,with a solid head and great lacing. Aroma of caramel malts and earthy hops. Flavor is caramel malt,slight fruit, with just a touch of hop bitterness. Palate is thin and maybe a little sticky . Solid offering, but nothing special BlackForestCO (629), Fort Collins and Black Forest, Colorado, USA Aug 12, 2008 Bottle from miketd, thanks man! Poured a deep reddish-amber color with a thick, almost creamy off-white head that stuck around for quite a while. Light biscuity malt on the nose with some spicy floral hops and some light citrus fruit. Lightly bready malt on the entry with some spicy undertones and a light caramel sweetness transitions into a moderately earthy, floral hop finish. Nice mouthfeel and carbonation. A nice tasting beer, but it doesn’t seem to fit the IPA category. Solid effort. Jwasciuk (181), Greenville, Michigan, USA Jul 19, 2008 Pours hazy medium amber with a small white head. Aroma is lightly malty of dark bread and cookies, moderatly hoppy of flowers and grapefruit, lightly yeasty. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderatly to heavly bitter nice malt back bone with a bit of carmel Finishes moe bitter nice mellow hop character. Medium bodied, cream an lively. Rciesla (1136), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Amber with white head. Some copper floral notes, a bit of earhty grass and some grapefruit. I didnt love the hops used.
