Commercial Description:
Sweetgrass is crisp and fragrant with a generous yet smooth hop character. The sweet bouquet and spicy flavor come from the combination of five hops and Idaho grown barleys. The color? We call is “Suntan”!

12oz bottle. Horrible looking stuff, with chunks en masse, though it does keep a reasonable head over the putrid orange body. The aroma has some nice lemon and grapefruit hoppy notes, but also a harsh vegetal side and some burnt plastic in the background. The flavor is medium-mild for an IPA, hoppy, with a fuller malt texture and just enough bitterness that is a little resiny and citric. Lightly grainy-sweet with a medium weight and ample-yet-finer carbonation. Drinkable, but not really an IPA that I want to revisit. I have a feeling that this would be much better on tap.

Poured from 12 oz. cloudy golden-orange with medium off white head. Nose of citrus, mostly orange with a little wood and hops. Malty flavor with hops and grass. Is it a pale ale, IPA, or hybrid? Not sure, but extremely drinkabale.

Aroma is all columbus rubber, appearance is an unfiltered gold color (with what I like to call "sea monkey" style yeast floaties, flavor is some mild citrus fruit hop notes and a lot of rubber, a dankness i attribute to columbus hops along with that rubber flavor i always taste with columbus hops, not any sort of hint at grain or malt in the flavor, probably all two row and maybe a sprinkle of wheat malt, this is certainly a quality ale and deserves your taste, it’s just not my flavor

A solid ipa. Unusual appearance, it looks like a hefeweizen. Cloudy orange and huge chunks of protein and yeast. Flavor is lighly hopped, some bread. More hops in the flavor, some pine, and a dry cracker finish. Flavor is appropriate and full enough. Better than average.

Bottle... Poured orange with a thick white head, nice retention. Malty and floral hop aroma with a touch of sugary sweetness. Good, foamy palate with hop flavors and bread-like malts. Pine-like notes with a mild fruity ester character. Not too bitter and really balanced.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy copper with a big frothy head. Not much aroma as you would expect from an IPA. Flavor is floral, piney, with a funky malt taste. It leaves a nasty aftertaste on the palate. Not very good.

I found this up in north Minnesota on Labor Day. I was happy to have found this new IPA. It had a nice hop presence with some sweetness.

(draft). Cloudy, light copper color. Medium off white head. Grassy hop aroma. Moderate hop flavor. Avg duration. Light bitter finish. Slick/fizzy texture. Heavy carbonation. Good lacing.
