Bottle from Binny’s (nee Sam’s) Clybourn. IPA #100. Pours a sticky coppery brown with slick head. Nose is funky Chinook with a slice of sweet orange from the Ahtanum and some dust. On taste, pretty good. Big bitterness, distinct wet hops smoothness with the expected missing floral punch. Nice and crisp and big. Can’t complain one bit, though it’s not a huge standout. Still, pretty damn tasty.

Dec 16, 2009 Imperial pint. Golden with white head. Smells soapy, fresh herbal hops. Mouth is upfront, and very pleasant. Pale biscuity malt back. Excellent bitter middle and end. Restored my faith in Shimkos’ IPA run. Great IPA.

Dec 11, 2009 Disappointing aroma - some bubblegum and a bit of hops. Cloudy with minimal head. Some citrus flavor, rather smooth, decent body, slight alcohol on the swallow.

This was a great deal direct from Flossmoor. It must have been bottled not long ago because it tasted as if it had come directly from a tap. Once again Flossmoor has done a great job of a fall IPA. I could drink more of this easily.
Aroma / Appearance - Amber brown and radiant the faint white head shined under the afternoon sun. Grapefruit, citrus, malts, and pine shock the senses into paying attention. Everything works with the other components.
Flavor / Palate - Grassy citrus tones warm the mouth from the start. A malty aftertaste comes along with the smooth bitterness. Fresh and crisp this has a nice blend of hops and sweetness that draw you in. The only problem I would face is what to do once it was gone.

Nov 11, 2009 Hazy orange pour with moderate white head. Nose is big pine, fruity citrus, crystal malt, and whiffs of alcohol. Big alcohol flavor, along with the significant hop bite and nicely balanced crystal mlat sweetness. An all around winner of a harvest-type IPA!
