Barfly

Pours a nice medium amber color that has a hint of orange to it. Nice two inch off white head that thick and foamy. Good retention on the head with thick foamy lacing. Aroma is very pleasant. I am getting a citrus hop along with a grain or bready aroma. Has an earthiness to it with a hint of floral. Taste is clean and refreshing. Has a bit of a mellow start that works into a robust citrus floral hop. Has a nice sweetness to it. Finishes with a mild bitterness that lingers on the palate. Medium body with light to medium carbonation. Sweet and sticky mouth feel. Overall this is another solid IPA. Well balanced, clean and refreshing. I like it.......try one!

Poured clear into my pint glass. The foam is off-white, about a third of the glass, and thick. Retention is really nice while leaving some very sticky, splotchy lacing throughout. Aroma is equal parts citrus hops with a bread malt backbone. Slight hints of floral develop. The malt profile is reminiscent of fat tire. Taste is a little sweeter than I expected based on the nose. A nice floral, citrus hop profile starts almost immediately and lasts through to the finish. A pleasant and not over powering bitterness lasts for a while. Medium body might be a little generous, but, then again, might easily placed here. Nice carbonation with a sticky mouth. Being pleasantly surprised by a beer is never a bad thing. Barfly goes above and beyond my expectations by a long shot. Has almost a presence of being much bigger than it is. Enjoy!

A: Great hue of orange-amber, slightly cloudy. Big foamy head, not super sticky, but did stick around. S: Not as attractive as the taste. A little bready, citrusy. T: Great zap of citrus and floral. The taste is orange / grapefruit, then muffled malt sweetness, and a subtle hop bite at the end. A medium mouthfeel and carbonation is great. D: Wasn't expecting much and found I really liked it. Big personality for a "regular" IPA, I've had Imperials that were not as assertive. West Coast hops meets Midwest fruits and in very balanced brew. I'll seek out this brewers other works.
