Had this one draught at the brewpub in Michigan City, Indiana. Clear reddish pour with a nice foamy head, a light flowery nose with a taste of watermelon, roses, a mix of esters in the taste. Had a offputting finish that was difficult to figure out and not very good. Leaper is better.

Jul 11, 2008 On tap at Shoreline in my mug. Always a favorite of mine, the Cluster Phuch is an awesome IPA. Fresh hops permeate the aroma. Nice, orangeish brown in color, little head. Rock and roll flavor, bitterness coats the mouth with a dry finish.

May 18, 2008 On tap at Shoreline Brewery and served in a shaker. This IPA poured a golden amber with a one-finger thick head of off-white foam that lingered for a bit. Spotty lacing covered the sides of the entire glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of mild orange, grapefruit, and bread. The flavor was much the same. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. A decent IPA.

May 6, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. The body was medium gold with an off white head. The aroma was grapefruit and almonds. There was also some dandelions. The taste was fairly bitter with some almond shells. There was also some bread crust that was countered by a woody finish. Excellent.

Jan 31, 2008 12 oz. hand bottled courtesy of a trade with BBB63 and consumed within 24 hours after receiving it. Pours a somewhat hazy orange with a very thin, uneven, soapy head that quickly disappeared. Pleasant aroma of pine and fresh grass. The flavor begins with some moderate malt and then quickly migrates to sharply bitter hops which lingers for a bit. Finishes with a bit of a metallic flavor that also lingers a bit after the swallow. Somewhat undercarbonated, which I suspect is the result of its trip East. Thanks again to BBB63 for the opportuntity to try a beer with only four ratings!
