Very nice Pacific NW hop aroma. Flavor has the usual hoppy notes of grapefruit, citrus and pine. I found that this brew was lacking in malt character. Bitter finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Good lacing and head retention. Solid stuff.
RERATE- ON TAP AT RB CHICAGO- strong grapefruit rind and cattiness in the nose (cluster hops?) Cloudy unfiltered golden orange with a white head. Flavor has notes of sweet pale malt which acts as a showcase for the grapefruit/citrus assualt. Very bitter hop finish. Medium bodied with a smooth texture and moderate carbonation.

Very fresh and bright. Golden with a white head. Flavor is malty with an orange and pine hop taste. Finish is bitter and grassy. Medium body, dry texture. Great after a long day of walking around Chicago in 90 deg. weather. Note: This is called "American Dream IPA." I entered it wrong and sent a correction. Ernest (4500), Boulder, Colorado, USA
