Flat Earth Northwest Passage IPA

Poured from growler into Nonic Imperial Pint. Clear, bright gold with thin head but nice lacing. Aroma of mostly citrus and some pine. Smells very bitter and dry. Very slight sweetness in the beginning, but the hops quickly reign supreme. Citrus, grapefruit, pine and spice noted. Very bitter finish. Low carbonation, medium body, pretty smooth, and exceedingly dry. Very refreshing. More please, unless my tongue melts first from the bitterness.

On tap at St Paul Summer Beer Fest 2009, poured golden with a nice head, nice hoppy aroma that delivers well in the beer with a nice bitter finish. Solid IPA

Very strong hop aroma and a complex blend of hop flavor and bitterness. Rich, creamy, hop-head delight.

On tap at Groveland Tap. Poured a dark gold with a thin off-white head. Aroma smelled of rotten pine and wet wood with a slight undertone of citrus (perhaps orange). A nice hop flavor but an awkward undertone tasting like wet wood. Also an undertone citrus. Perhaps something was off here. Will have to try again at some point an re-rate.

From a firkin @ the 2nd annual Firkin Fest. A delicious bitter and slightly earthy aroma. Similarly bitter and hoppy with the unfiltered sediment creating a great mouthfeel.

Pours a hazy, bright orange with a medium white head. Aroma is quite hoppy with some citrus. Strong, bitter taste consisting of floral hops, citrus pine, earthy tones, and malts. I loved it overall though it could use a bit more flavor to offset the hop bitterness of 115 IBUs.

TAP: grape/amber pour, monster foamy head, citrus and malt on the nose. Awesome taste, malt and sharp hop, fades to hop and lingers, though.

Bitter with hops. Some citrus and grapefruit. Orange color. The hops are not especially powerful, but the flavor is good. It could be a little more powerful in the flavor. From a growler. Maybe it is better on draught.
