5/16/2009: Great Crescent IPA has a vibrant orange color and is quite clear with a dense, foamy, and lasting beige head. Caramel malt, bittersweet orange and subtle citrus hops are in the aroma. This is a malty English-style IPA. It has a syrupy maltiness paired with sweet, citrusy hops. The hops flavor and more of the soft bitterness definitely kick in more on the second taste. This beer has a medium-full body and is very smooth. Overall this beer is balanced and enjoyable and a nice deviation from the typical hop-bomb IPAs. However, I bit more hoppiness would have been okay!
Draught at Great Crescent Brewery in Aurora, Indiana. Rating #1 for this beer.
