Unique69crazy (105), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Apr 30, 2008 Rather decent, pours very cloudy with a nice burst of hops. Sadly, this is short-lived, however the taste does stick to you while you consume this delightful beverage. I found this to be a excellent choice, rather cheap to get and it nice to grab after a hard day’s work.
Dastrn (38), Warsaw, Indiana, USA Aug 25, 2008 Pours an opaque caramel/amber with a massive frothy head.
Smelt sweetly of malt and hops, with orange peel, banana, and some floral aromas.
Taste was a rich balance of malt and hops, with a little orange and grass flavors peeking through.
Mouthfeel was lightly carbonated at the tip of the tongue, and smooth down the back.
Overall a great IPA if you don’t come into it expecting 100 IBUs. It’s a non-hophead’s IPA.
jezmez68 (276), Chesterton, Indiana, USA Aug 22, 2008 Nice, redish brown in color IPA. Good sized head poured into a pint. Nice balanced malt profile. Good hop finish, almost nut-like. Mouth smacking, but not heavy on the hop finish. Glad I got a sixer. GAManiac (295), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jul 19, 2008 Bottle courtesy of StFun. Pours a hazy dark amber with almost no head and very little lacing. The smell is surprising for a IPA with a good bit of spices on top of a decidedly low-key floral hop profile. Sweet bready malts are in the nose as well. The taste also has a big sweet floral profile with hops and malts blending together nicely. There is more spices than I’ve ever tasted from an IPA. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with good carbonation and less bitterness than most IPAs. I actually really liked this IPA despite the fact that it’s no hop bomb. It’s very drinkable and well balanced. Recommended. dougblur (11), , Indiana, USA Jul 17, 2008 Aroma is not sweet or hoppy almost spicey.
Appearance is dark like a IPA.
Flavor wasn’t hoppy and more like a hefeweizen.
drfabulous (712), Columbia, Missouri, USA Jul 10, 2008 Not bad at all. Too bad this didn’t exist when I lived in Bloomington. Nice hops. Not overpowering. Good taste overall. Good criteria as a session. If we could buy it here that is...
