Nice to finally get a chance to try a brew from New Glarus,pours a light golden with fluffy white atop.Not over the top hop wise in the aroma make no mistake its presence is there very herbal and piney but there is a real caramel malt note in there as well.A big well balanced IPA there is alot of malt to keep up with the heavy dose of hop,lemony/herbal hop goes niecley with a lightly sweet caramel backbone.I really like this double IPA its not tottaly one sided in its hop profile,well done.

Pours a cloudy amber with a big off white head that stays well and laces the glass in sheets. Aromas of oranges, some grapefruit, and underlying caramel malt. Flavor is well balanced between grapefruit hops and caramel malts giving some orange flavor, some pineapple, good grainy notes too. Nice balance and good medium body. 10% abv is covered completely and the bitter dry finish leaves you wanting more even after the glass is empty. Of course...Retired.

A buddy brought a bunch of samples from New Glarus. The IIPA pours an attractive slightly hazy golden orange with a decent white head leaving a nice lacing. The smell includes a interesting herb followed by citrus and a strong floral and malt notes. The taste brings more of the nose along with a bitter refreshing bite that combines with a strong malt. The mouthfeel was full/medium body. Not quite as high in abv as some IIPAs but was very nice.
