Brewed by Granite City Food & Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
St. Louis Park, Minnesota USA

getting better but very safe. this brew was definitely an ipa but not nearly as hoppy or memorable as depicted in the desciption. not bad, just nothing special.

Fargo, ND Location - Had this beer as part of the sampler. I was my favorite by far. I need to make more notes on the road. Sorry Piscator, but you wouldn’t have liked these beers very mcuh.

Cedar Rapids, IA location. Poured a hazy amber. Aroma was ligt citrus. Flavor was citrusy and piney. Flavors were a bit muted, but this was nice.

Sampled at the Davenport, IA location. Pours a nice deep amber color. Aromas of hops/malt. Strong grapefruit flavors with malts and a crisp dry finish.

Wichita: I liked this the most out of the beers I tried. Aroma is of fresh citric hops, some grapefruit, more orange rind. Clean resiny citric flavor, malts are very mild, but it serves to order this one ahead and let it come to temperature. A bit pale color, a light gold color.

On Tap: Poured a reddish golden color, little to no head. Aroma is heavy on the hops, citrus, grass. The taste was of hops, but not too overpowering. There was a strange bite to this beer.

amber color, head is beige. aroma is lightly hopped, mostly earthy, slight citrus. flavor is moderate citrus with mild dirtiness in the background. underhopped for an ipa in my opinion, maltiness isn’t bad at all though.

Sampled in MN orangish brown color tan head well laced. Citrus: grapefruit and orange scent some grass and a very light carmel.. a bit to light. Even palate lightly oily. Flavor is a dry bitter grass mixed w/ some pine and not much sweet.. very subdued... an ok IPA.
