IPA night Pheonixville, old dusty notes. Pour was medium brown/orange with a small beige head. Floral aroma with a good bit of pine light citrus. Lots of citrus (especially but not limited to grapefruit) and grass with some mild carmel and a big flowery/grapefruit finish. Very well done!

IPA night. Somewhat similar to the cascade and centennial IPAs from last year- lots of citrus with a good balance of pine and jsut a hint of minty qualities. This was pretty good overall, but I think because it was the 2nd IPA of the year- it had lost some of its freshness.

(Draught) Pours a cloudy burnt orange body with an off-white head. Aroma of breadiness, citrus, caramel, and pine. Flavor of malt and hops.

On tap at the Sly Fox Brew Pub. Poured a darker orange color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of mainly oranges with some citrus. Tastes of oranges with a grapefruit finish. Medium bitter with nice lacing left on the glass.

Wow this company makes a lot of IPAs. I think this was the one I had. Poured dark amber with a thick white head. Spectacular retention. Aroma was malty with citrus, graitfruit and hops. The flavor was quite malty for an IPA and the alcohol was hidden very well. Pretty enjoyable, just not great,
