IPA, was first brewed by the English for their colonies in India. Our copper-colored version is malty and aggressively hopped. The final hop addition occurs after fermentation. This process is called dry hopping and produces a fragrant floral aroma

Brought to Tampa by brewer Jeremy, thanks buddy. The pour creates mildly hazy deep gold body with a copper core and white head of foam. The aroma has an earthy hoppiness that I could identify first then I get a mix of floral hops, pine hops and a sense of citrus. I get a hint of sweet malt too in the background. The taste begins feeling a bit thin starting with notes of sweet malt followed quickly by citrus grapefruit, tangelo, pine bitterness, mild spice and some hints of floral hops. It ends nice too with a full combination of hops taking the experience into the after taste.

Growler, courtesy the brewer. Pours a hazy tea color, with a thick white head and fair amount of creamy lacing. Subdued pine nose, and wispy vanilla. Slight citrus, but distant. Flavor is nice and malty, with grainy wheat, smooth chocolate, subtle bitter finish. Body is crisp but bitter, drinkable. Enjoyed it.

Growler courtesy of Jeremy the brewer. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and caramel, with notes of citrus and floral hops. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate to strong amount of bitterness. Good.

Appearance: Hazy, dark copper body with a small, off-white head. Smell: Gentle aroma of light caramel and citrus hops. Taste: Light caramel flavor with a vague, mild sweetness. Nice burst of earthy, citrusy hop flavor along with a gentle bitterness. Mild finish, in fact before I started typing up my notes I was recalling this as a pale ale. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Not bad at all! It definitely paired well with the shrimp & grits.
