Friday I made a trip to Ciceros for a beer. This time the bartender helped me pick out an IPA that I haven't drank yet. I had tried most of there offerings O'fallon 5 day IPA, Red Seal, and Chouffe - Houblon.
The beer smelled of hops, with a weak overall aroma. The beer has a dark yellow color and was pretty hazy. The head was thin which is surprising for an IPA.
The taste was a little sweet with a pronounced hop flavor and bitterness. The predominate taste of the hops was a citrus flavor like pineapple or grapefruit. The mouthfeel was medium with a lot of carbonation. The finish was bitter which is expected from an IPA.
This was a fine beer but not one of my favorites. I would have preferred some of the other IPA they had available, but I needed to drink a different beer.

If you ever get the chance, try it on draft. Much, much better!
