Sep 4, 2009 On tap @ Blue Palms. Clear medium amber with a frothy 2 finger off-white head, great retention. Lotsa sweet toffe atop some candied grapefruit and pine notes. Flavor is mainlythe toffee grapefruit thing. Finish is semi-dry, bitterness @ a 4. Light carbonation with a medium body. Ok, nothing amazing--and I’m not really getting a ton of dry hopped goodness.Very malty for an IPA, especially for the MidWest.

Sep 1, 2009 The aroma on this one is fruityskunky - for lack of a better non-word. Not using the bitter hops, this one cashes in on the aromatic hops. Beautiful in that regard. If you fear IPA’s because of the bitterness, try this one. Clean, smooth and aromatic. The flavor is dank green bud but ends dry. Pours orangish copper with white head.

Aug 26, 2009 Nicely balanced IPA. Not particularly dry but a good respite from the hop bombs.

Aug 12, 2009 On tap at Blue Palms. Pours with a resiliant off-white head over a hazed golden amber. Aroma of citrus hops, alcohol and a bit of caramel. Taste is caramel and alcohol up front with a bit of herbal and citrus. Light bubbles. Seems like a iipa similar in vain to Port 3rd..
