The IPA from Tyranena of Lake Mills, Wisconsin.
Notes from way back in November, 2003. Bit of a gusher, but I still like it. You will notice that there are far fewer exclamation points than the review you'll find on BeerAdvocate.com:
Aroma: Ooooo! Bold, bright, sharp, spikey, piney, grapefruity, exploding with citric emanations of every kind (add lemon, peach, pineapple!), vibrant and vivacious. This is the true ticket for every true lover of humulus lupus.
My kind of hoppiness, bristling with fruit and pine-resin.
Taste: BAM! WOW! Mouth-filling, with a full, sticky, resilient texture, long, tasty finish, never, ever giving any intention of quitting the mouth!
Bitter, yes, but lip-smackingly delicious. Fresh flavor bursts forth and floods through every gulp and swallow. A brew that just won't slow down.
Holey schamoley, dammity, damn, damn! Wonderfully balance, too, the malt is adequate buttress, though the hops are running this show. You might put out your cup and beg for more malt, please, but you don't really want that, do you, because then this wouldn't be, you know, this ...this.
