Columbus IPA

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

4.3/5

AROMA
8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours hazy copper amber color with a very nice dense 2 finger off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a thick lacing cap that lasts till the end of the glass. Some fairly nice glass lacing is present around the entire glass. Aromas of caramel, orange, grapefruit, pine resin, and some spiciness. Aromas are quite nice and fairly strong. Taste of strong pine, grapefruit, and orange; with some caramel and a fairly pronounced bitterness on the finish that lingers for a good period of time with some spiciness and citrus flavors. Very smooth mouthfeel and very nice balance of bitterness and sweetness. Medium carbonation and medium body. Overall, this is a great IPA, definitely lives up to it’s hype.

Definitely a great IPA, glad I picked one up when I was down in Columbus. I will have to pick up a 6 next time I am down there. If anyone ever goes down to Columbus, the brewery is available pretty much everywhere, was not a hard find.
