Commercial Description:
The Upland Dragonfly IPA is a malty and hoppy brew. Note the clean malty fullness on the front of the palate with fruity citrus overtones, attributable to our special hops. Dry hopping creates a floral aroma, and our use of bittering hops lends a strong bitter taste in the back of the tongue and throat.

Nothing overly exciting about this beer, but it is tasty and nice. A good beer, which will be followed by many others, to help get over the Badger loss today.

Orange in color, very hazy with a thick head. Some burnt caramel in the aroma, along with floral hops. Very fruity flavor, some lemons and oranges, some grassiness, and lingering bitterness. Not too bad, but not stellar. Thanks to TAR.

Let me start off by saying that I sampled several beers from this brewer over the past weekend... and all of them taste the same (in a way). There’s an underlying burnt-rice flavor to all of their beers that I just can’t get past. Bottle. Floral aroma? Not really... smells malty... too malty. Flavor: yep, it’s loaded with malts and burnt rice. Oh, what a disappointment when I was trying to get a friend to try his first IPA.

Draught @ Legends - Notre Dame. Poured a clear reddish-amber with a light off-white head. Nice lacing all the way down. Citrusy aroma, with some underlying sweetness from the malts. Crisp and citrusy (with pine notes) on the front of the palate. Light-to-medium bodied, with a little malty sweetness present. Finish was not well-balanced, and seemed to be bitter for the sake of being bitter. This was a really good brew.. until about halfway down.

12oz - Bottled April 05 - Hoppy nose with floral citrus undertones. Copper color with consistent bubbles like champange. A medium head that quickly dissapates but leaves plenty of lacing. Flavor is a little disappointing. The hops aren’t real strong which allows the malts to take over. The palate is smooth and slick. It is a very drinkable and tasty session brew that would be a good introduction to the style.

Bottle from Cornfield. Incredible amount of <a href=www.ratebeer.com/><a href=http://www.workinlate.com/images/beer/LotsaFl suspended within a hazy, coppery body. A zesty, orange-citrus nose with floral notes, oregano and a milky background. A nice bite to start, then smooth & soft malts to a lingering light bitterness.

Bottle acquired in trade with TAR. Bottled on 4/05. Poured a medium, hazy reddish/copper color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of flowers, citrus, earthy, and caramel. Tastes of toffee, and caramel. All malts in the taste. Very lightly bitter. Lacking balance.
