(draught at St. Louis) hazy dark amber with small off white head. Aroma of pine. Flavor is pine and some citrus hops. Decent malt for balance. Good body.

Pretty average beer. This was a little disapointing considering Im a big fan of the style. It pours an orangish copper and has the usual citrus scent of an IPA, but not nearly as strong. It drinks like you would expect. A watered down IPA.

Bought the growler in Witchita for a trip to Fort Worth A very good IPA. Has a deep dark cooper appearance - spongy white head with good lacing. Good grapfruit citrus aroma and bittersweet flavor - detect some Cascades in there.

Draft at Fort Wayne, IN location.Very small head that quickly dissipated, very little lacing, no carbonation observed during my rating, transparent, and an orange hue. Nose was hoppy and citrus. Ditto for the flavor with some light bitterness and a thin finish. Slightly tingly, thin mouthfeel and light in body.Quaffable but too thin tasting for the style, lacked character and it did not leave me wanting more.Not a bad beer, just nothing to get excited about IMO.

Caramel color. Faint hop aroma but lots of hop flavor. Some caramel malt for balance.

On tap at the Ft. Wayne Indiana pub. Amber color with an off white head that left some lacing on the glass. Hoppy nose of grass clippings and grapefruit. Very lively on the tongue. Grapefruit, orange juice, and minerals with the grassy bitterness appearing in the finish.

On draft at the Maumee, OH "brewpub". This is not an IPA, and not even an APA. Copper color with a white head. Some faint hops in the aroma, but mostly a bunch of nothing. Some malty flavors and a tiny hint of bitterness at the end. More bad beer for BMC drinkers.

This draft brew from our new restaurant/brewery in Fort Wayne, IN poured a head of finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a and a poor lacing. The nice aroma was of piney hops. The semi-thick mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The mild flavor contained notes of malt and piney hops. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.
