Nov 11, 2009 Dark amber thin head.Nice balanced IPA with solid hop flavor and moderate bitterness. More malt presence than your average IPA. Light fruitiness. Thanks Mr. Pollack.

Oct 3, 2009 On tap at Frisco Grille: Pours a transparent deep bronze with a thin, stringy-lacing wispy white head. Mild aroma of fresh piny hops and lightly sweet toasty caramel malt. Starts with pretty good fullness and light malty sweetness with a crisp bittering hoppy presence and light citrusy hoppy balance before a drier bittersweet finish. Needs more assertiveness hop character, but an ok IPA.

Jul 13, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pours a deep ruby amber with a thick, frothy tan head that leaves a complete shading on the glass where the foam previously was. Nose is malts, caramel, and hops. Taste is a pleasant mix between rugged rye characteristics and its hoppy Indiana base. A nice trial that turned out well, especially for someone who doesn’t go crazy for the In-Your-Face hop blow of a traditional IPA.

Jul 9, 2009 Pours a deep amber color with a miniscule, yet lasting head. I find the aroma and flavor more dominated by caramel malts, not hops. There is definitely a good amount of hops and the rye/grainy flavor is nice. In my opinion, the focus of an IPA should be more on the hops, not the malts.

Jun 5, 2009 A nicely balanced IPA. A bit darker than most IPAs, dark golden, almost orange. Not overly hoppy but good balance.

May 24, 2009 On draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Reddish brown pour, watery head and spotty lacing. Tons of spicy rye in the nose, some soft fruits like banana and citrus. Flavor is big on rye, grainy finish, some bitterness throughout. Balanced and drinkable, refreshing.
