On tap, Maumee OH location. Pours a slightly hazy copper-orange body with a minimal off-white head. Some grapefruity hops over a light caramel malt base on the nose. The flavor is light citrusy and floral hops over a thin caramel malt base. A little sticky and clingy with soft carbonation. Probably the best of the 7 beers that I had that night, but that’s not really saying much.

Classic IPA, spot on for the style. Pours a clear copper, thin white head. Hint of hops aroma. Hint of malt flavor, moderate hop flavor on the citrus side. Medium body with moderate hop bitterness.

On draft at the Fargo location. Amber in colour with strong carbonation. Aromas are of white grapefuit, dried leaves, pine, pale malts, and a hint of diacetyl. More general citrus fruit in the mouth, along with both pale and caramel malts. Quite dry and light bodied, with some lingering mineral bitterness. Not really in IPA by typical US micro standards, but a servicable as a pale ale. It was hoppier and drier than I expected from a chain brewpub.

Omaha. Copper color with a small off-white head. Citric hops and bit of caramel malt in the nose. Flavors start with a bit of malt and brown sugar. Middle has some pine and grapefruit. A touch earthy. Finish and linger are earthy and slightly bitter.

Average IPA. Had this at Granite city in FW, IN. Not as hoppy as most IPAs, but a decent full flavor.

Draft in MO. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Hints of pine, honey, light metallic resinous floral hops. Pine, musk, and dry hop resins. Decent ipa.

On tap at the Mishawaka location: Pours a transparent dark bronze orange with a stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh juicy grapefruity hops with a touch of pale malt. Body starts with average fullness and light sweetness along with a drier, grassy citric hop bite before a drier more bitter finish. Needs a little more malty sweetness.

Growler sample. Pours clear amber with a medium beige head. Malty aroma with some hop. Mostly malt flavor with some earthy hops on the back end.
