Commercial Description:
This is an American IPA fermented with our house strain of Belgian yeast. The beer has a soft copper body, malty and balanced with 70 IBU from our Columbus bittering hop addition. The hops then transition into flavoring hop additions during the last 30 minutes of brewing. At the end of the brew we add buckets full of aroma hops and ferment at a warm temperature. Then to capture even more hop flavors and aromas we poured more buckets full of hops directly into the beer (dry hop) and allow the beer to rest and absorb all the delicious hop goodness.

Shared by the crustmister. Thanks Dave! Nose/flavor of hops, fruit, lemongrass, and sage. Interesting and different from other of similar styles. I dig.

Thanks to David for sharing this one. Intensely full and yeasty pour, with a thick head and a pleasantly resinous aroma. Flavor held together sweet citrus with the dry yeast and pine quite nicely. Full bodied and very enjoyable, even if somewhat unassuming.

Bottle shared by ucusty. Thanks, Dave. Pours hazy amber with big white head. Bitter hops and yeasty goodness. Maybe a bit of odd menthol? Solid, but a pretty standard Belgian IPA.

Stowehop hooks it up again! Thanks man! Dark amber pour wtih an off white head. Citrus and caramel malt. Flavor is a bit yeasty with caramel malt and typical citrus hops. A little dry on the finish. Not bad at all.

Bomber - Pours a darkish orange-amber in color with a small whitish head that settles to a thin covering over the beer. Small lacing on the glass. Aroma is medium hoppy... citrus-grapefruit with just a hint of estery yeasts. Flavor is an interesting mix of IPA-like hoppiness and Belgian-style fruity yeasts. Hops dominate a bit, but the yeast and malts clearly come through. Finish is lingering and medium bitter. If for nothing more that its unusual I do like this... combines two of my favorite styles of beer and still tastes good!
