Commercial Description:
Pale Ale's on the coasts of this country are turning into hoppy monsters, but our beer is more mild, and about balance. It has enough bitterness to match the maltiness provided by the pale malt base. It gets its citrus zing from extensive dry-hopping with Cascade hops. This beer was first made in a few small test batches in 2003. The response was so incredibly positive, that it has worked it’s way into a year round beer. A hoppy IPA in the central plains... how exciting!

Bottle courtesy of pepsican. Pours copper with a nice off white head. Smells of resin, caramel, spice, some metallic hints. Tastes peppery and resiny with some sweet hints on the finish. Decent.

Bottled. A hazy dark red-amber beer with an orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of grapefruit, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is a bit thin. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Nice fluffy head with plenty of lace. There is a good citrusy hop aroma, flavor has very nice bitterness playing on fruity citrus like hoppiness. This has a little more cascade than I prefer, but it is very tasty and one of the best beers in Iowa no doubt.

Bottle from brentk56. Pretty light aroma, some light citrus and a little light malt sweetness. Pours golden orange with a decent lasting head. Flavors of sweetish caramel, bread, and iced tea followed by some light citrus notes. Some dryness in the finish, but not too hoppy or anything. Not overly impressive.
