Free State Winter Fest IPA

This India Pale Ale is from the Free State Brewing Company of Lawrence, Kansas.

The beer pours a deep orange amber and copper. There is nearly an inch of thick and somewhat creamy off-white head. The aroma is guava and passion fruit, over caramel malt. The taste hits the same notes as the aromas, adding in a quite bitter finish, with a quenching, grapefruit rind type effect. The beer is medium bodied with a crisp, tingling, refreshing carbonation.  Solid.
