Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a full white head. The nose is a fairly traditional and balanced blend of pine, resin, herbal hops, caramel, and mango. As far as IPAs go, this is easily one of the more malty ones. Flavors of resin and pine are heavy, while underneath are mango, herbs, and subtle notes of earth and pepper. It has a healthy bitterness and a resiny aftertaste. Medium in body, thick and sticky in texture. Not bad. Those that appreciate West Coast IPAs more will find this more agreeable than I do.
16oz can from Liquor Barn Express. Clear golden with small creamy head, active carbonation. Malty, grainy aroma, light sweet fruity notes. Taste blends fruity hops with some sweet malts for a nice bittersweet flavor. Crushable.
Fresh bouquet of grapefruit and pine on the nose. Nice orange gold color with a fluffy off white head. Carmel sweetness up front. Rich malt mouth feel, fresh. Grapefruit and Carmel hold strong while piney bitterness wages over. Medium mouth feel, nice malt body and backbone. Finish a mixture of sweet caramel and pine. Mickey balanced. Solid.
The aroma is hops, floral and citrus. Pours a clear yellow/orange/copper, with white head mostly diminishing and good lacing. The taste is bitter. The body is medium/light, the texture a slight watery but ends somewhat creamy, the carbonation lovely and the finish average to long. A decent IPA. Drinkable worth having again!
Slightly hazy copper. Good head retention. The description lists some of my favorite IPA hops so I'm a little disappointed I don't get more in the aroma. Good beer, but a little disappointing as an IPA.
Midwest IPA that means business. Must try if you're looking for a non-coastal beer that can compete with them
Can from Jungle Jim’s enjoyed poolside in GA after white water rafting. Just realized my schedule is released so gotta hurry... very tasty IPA well balanced with pine resin bitterness. Nice.
Deeper copper/orange pour. Thick off white head lasts and lasts. Pine aroma with some light caramel and tropical fruits. Thick mouthfeel. Floral and pine hops with a bit of mango and citrus. Nice. Can.
12oz can. Filtered orange-copper body. Foamy off-white head. Classical West Coast IPA, nice hop depth, pleasant malt tone. Really pleasant to drink. Juicy hop tones as well as some underlyign bitterness, Simcoe really gives it that West Coast feel. Solid.
A dark golden color with a white head. Aroma contains some lemons, mango, and pineapple. The flavor is slightly bitter and tropical fruity. Wow that sounded weird. Oranges, lemons, mango, and pineapple. As much as I want to be get off my lawn with these tropical IPAs this is really tasty. Oh coconut getting that too.
Not bad, dry and bitter, striking a nice balance between fruit-forward modern IPAs and older, more pine-n-resin West Coast versions. Mandarin, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, and mango are offered up with the slightest hint of caramel malt to provide, um, "balance", while the finish grows piney and oily, with a lingering hop bite on the finish. Not overly complex, but very drinkable.
12 ounce, canned 01/28/2020. Pours clear, brassy-golden with a cottony half-inch of foam. Orange, lemon, caramel, pine resin, toasted grain and a bit of grapefruit in the aroma. Flavors of the same mix. Light-medium mouthfeel with medium carbonation and an easy drinking, dry bias.
Tap at butcher and barrel cincinnati. Gold with medium white head and good lacing
. Floral hop nose. Taste is floral, with good complex hop hit. Sticky and lightly fruity finish. A good west coast
IPA.
Truth has a thick, off-white head of foam, a brilliant gold-orange appearance, lots of powdery sediment, and heavy glass lacing. The aroma is of hop resins & white bread crust, and the flavor is similar, with strong bitterness. The mouthfeel is high medium, and Truth finishes mostly dry. RJT
Tap at Condado Tacos, Pittsburgh, PA. Pours dark blonde with practically no foam. Aroma is slightly hoppy and citrus. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is medium-high bitter. Final is long and bitter.
Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2019. Pours a near clear light gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has notes of dank citrus, light resin, pine with sweet grains backing. Flavor has lots of citrus rind, light pine and a growing resin with grain backing.
Pours hazy orange and has a citrusy hop aroma. It has a resin and citrus hop flavor. There’s pretty high bitterness and a medium body.
On tap. Honey brown pour, with nice head and lacing. Mild citrus, caramel malt, mild bitterness. But this has a fantastic mouthfeel. Creamy and delicious. Pretty good.
Balanced IPA. Great flavor. More piney than citrusy but not overly piney. I liked this beer.
Dark clear amber, foam head. Light aroma. Tropical taste and high carbonation. Clean mouthfeel with light grapefruit aftertaste.
12 oz. can. Canned 03/12/19. Pours a medium, well retained, ivory head, with layered lacing, over a slightly hazy amber (SRM 9) body.....nose is pine, resin, dank tones from the hops, mild malts, balance to the hops.......taste is moderate malts with mild caramel tones without sweetness, pine, resin, mild dank tones, finishing with lingering moderate bitter hop tones......mouth feel, medium body, alcohol, moderate carbonation. This really meets the former common West Coast IPA style variation, making a drinkable and enjoyable IPA. BJCP 9/3/13/4/8
Single from will. Aggressive west coast style with lots of pine bitterness on the finish. Crisp clean honey and light toasty grain notes mid palate.
Pours hazy butterscotch with a nice yellow-beige head. Aroma yields resiny hops, raw malt and tangy citrus. Flavor delivers piney hops, tart citrus, zesty malt. Texture provides firm body and lively fizz. Truly a good ale.
Medium orange pour, occluded, half inch dense white head. Tropical scent: sweet, pineapple, mango, tangerine. Lively carbonation, finishes clean and dry. Flavor is tropical like the nose with citrus as well : bitter rind, pineapple, mango, tangerine and grapefruit, menthol-y herbals. Okay, the watery ness takes away from the tropical tastes.
Golden honey amber gorgeous head. Aroma smells of fresh hops and grapefruit and mango. The taste is absolutely phenomenal not overly bitter not overly sweet. As close to a perfect India Pale Ale as you can get.
On tap at Craft Brewed. Solid IPA, solid drinker. Enjoyed it late into a session. A good one.
On tap at Tony's, cincinatti. Clear dark amber under a small short lived white head that leaves lots of lace. Nose is light caramel with bright citrus and tropical fruit with some pine and some floral notes. Light sweet with a medium bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation and a long bitter finish.
8/3+/7+/3+/15
Aroma: Can - initially grassy and citrus aromas. The aromas subside and mellow into a light sweetness. The malt aroma is subtle, only getting the malt sweetness.
Appearance: Body is hazy with yeast suspended throughout and golden in color. The head is thick with as mixture of medium and small bubbles.
Flavor: Sweet from the malts with a stone fruit flavor on the edges of the tongue. The hops are bright with grapefruit citrus. The balance is hopped, with the finish being bitter and a touch dry.
Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel is medium with low carbonation and a small amount of alcohol warmth in the back of the throat. The beer is not creamy and there's a minor astringency due to the bittering Hops.
Overall: A solid showing for an IPA, the mixture of tropical fruits with the citrus grapefruit provides a good balance with the light malt sweetness.
12oz can. 8/24/18 can date. Appearance: Dark golden and mostly clear. Quite a bit of coagulated protein floating. Fluffy white headcwith nice lacing.
Aroma: Citrusy, slightly spicy hop aroma. A touch of roasted bread as well.
Taste: Caramel and toasted bread crust maltiness dominate upfront. Slight grapefruit hop character that builds to a strong bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate carbonation.
Finish: strong lingering bitterness and bread crust maltiness
Overall: Decent take on the more traditional american IPA, with a bigger malt backbone to balance the aggressive bitterness. Has the caramel and bread crust maltiness typical of the original AIPA style. Hop aroma is relatively restrained, leaning towards a traditional citrus/grapefruit as opposed to common tropical fruit aromas found these days. Has a heavier body as well
Just a great beer from Ohio / citrus blend and not overpowering.
