Commercial Description:
This Ale is brewed with the best of Old and New World hops. Then we infuse the aging tanks with a dry hop addition of Cascade and East Kent Goldings to bring home the hops! Expect this Ale to pour a glass brimming with rich caramel flavors along with an intense hop aroma

Very good IPA. Reddish-amber pour with short, but lasting, off-white head. Aroma is citrus/floral hops and some medium caramel malt. Flavor malty with strong flavorful hop presence. Significant bitterness with a pleasantly soft edge. Medium body and texture, crisp finish.

As far as IPAs go, this is a pretty good one, but I’m not really a fan of the style. Pours a light amber color with thin head. Some intense hop aroma with a grapefruit and citrus flavor, finishing with an agreeable hop bitterness.

Pours orange amber with a couple finger white head that fades to a thin rim. Aroma is pine and floral hops. Flavor is malty and sweet up front and finishes with a moderate hop bitterness. Medium body. Pretty good IPA.

tough one to rate. orangish amberish appearance with kind of a tart taste. Not a big IPA drinker but this one is not too bad

Pours a dark orange with a kinda meh head. Smells of oranges and some soap. Not a strong IPA, but as it warms it seems to get a little better...a little.

Bottle with thanks to coyotehunter. Body is orangy amber and supports a medium sudsy head. Aromas of orange and other citrus. Flavor is weak for am IPA, but not bad. Crisp hops are a bit underdeveloped and the whole thing kind of fizzles. Takes on more of a grapefruit finish as it warms.

Yeah. Okay. A decent representation of the style, but nothing that is overall impressive for an IPA. Nice use of both classic English and American hops. Probably a good starter IPA for a lot of people. For me...I could have gone through life without it.

Bottle received via trade. That’s pretty much the only way I’ll ever land anything from New Glarus. As long as it keeps rolling in, I’m good. The beer is a pretty standard mid-west IPA, nicely balanced with a undefineable hop bitterness (floral, but kinda vegetative like an onion) with a sweet malt smell. The hops don’t have your bitter receptors in a stranglehold which is nice. Bitterness is in the medium range, and the soft malt backing make the drinkablility very high. Finish is crisp with a short lingering bitterness. A nice IPA.
