Bottle with thanks to coyotehunter. Pours copper/brown with little head and aromas of sweet sugary malt and herbal hops. Flavor is horrid. Sweet brown sugar collides with a herbal and medicinal hops presence to produce an absolute trainwreck. There’s not much here that works.

Found this one bottled at a liquor store in St. John, Indiana, as part of a mix 12 pack of various beers from Indiana brewers. Hazy, medium reddish-brown pour, a thick, tan head, a nice balanced aroma with sweet malts and rosy hoppiness, balanced flavor, bitter but not offputting finish. Excellent.

Copper-amber pour from a 12 oz bottle. Three fingers of solid, long lasting head. Lacing – it almost coats the glass as the beer goes down. Aroma of sweet malt – caramel and butterscotch – with a notable hoppiness. Solid IPA flavor – slightly sweetish start with a pleasant bitter hoppy finish. Not an extreme IPA but a damn good one.

Bottle. Big pour, semi-stinky nose of buttery infection. PIne scented hops, honey and lemon tea and a faint bit of citrus orange in the nose. Flavor is rough and abrasive lactic acid, caustic, grating sweet celery, especially in the finish.

Color approaches amber under a whitish, filmy head. Strong peppery aroma with grapefruit and mild resins to follow. Warming increases acridity. Peppered flavor provides a substantial hop burn, but minor mineral notes detract (I’m guessing due to hard water?) Bitter flavor lingers with a calming malted nuttiness. Not bad! (But I preferred this on tap since I found the bottled version exhibited vinegar notes.)

ON tap; orange color with a fairly large head. Aroma was heavy on grassy and citrus hops; a bit of a toffee prsence. Flavor was as bad as it was rated in my opinion; however, it was both not very hoppy and largely undistinguishable from most of the style. Decent beer.
