On tap as the KoP location. Poured a darker and cloudy orange color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of citrus and light caramel. Tastes of pretty much the same. Has a ’generic’ hoppiness to it. Thinner body.

Clear medium dark yellow color. Very sweet bubble-gum hop flavor, biting and sweet. Oak and orange and a gritty amarillo and cascade hop flavor. Fresh tasting. A bit of some burnt orange and wheat. Very pungent and strong hop nose. Biting the nose. When warmed there is an unpleasent soap flavor that is hard to get through.

This draft brew from the College Park location in Indianapolis, IN poured a small sized head of medium to large sized mostly diminishing off-white colored bubbles that left behind a transparent softly carbonated dark orange colored body with a frothy top and a fair lacing. The mild thin red malt flavor contained a soft hop backing. The aroma was mild with malt-hop notes.

Dark red color with no head. Hmmm... smells like grains... and tastes like a grain silo! Damn, I was hoping they’d make a good session beer out of this, but it just tastes muddled.
