Tallgrass Brewing Company Ethos IPA

“Significant diesel and dank aroma initially, then light lime notes. Very simple malt flavor dominated by hop flavors of pine, diesel, pithy citrus peel, black pepper, hints of anise and grass. Firm bitterness. Finish is a touch fruity sweet.”

“Dank, sweaty tropical hops ooze from the cup; lemongrass and herbs mix with garlic and green onion notes. Brilliant tropical fruit flavors run across the palate over a soft, sweet malt canvas; notes of onion-like spice, resinous pine, hints of green tea. Complex, but doesn’t coalesce. Overall, too sweet. Needs some restraint.”

**Aroma:** “Freshly zested lemon and grassy hops aromas with a light malt sweetness. Pine, grapefruit, and tangerine with some floral notes. Fruity—peach and melon with a hint of lemon zest. No green hops aroma.” **Flavor:** “Very bright at the front of the palate, fades very quickly. Moderate lemon, grass, and grapefruit avors with just enough bitterness that drops into a dry finish. Almost effervescent with a slight carbonic bite. Malt body is light but enough to support the moderate hops profile. Piney and spicy with slight peppery notes. Very clean finish with a long-lasting bitterness.” **Overall:** “Bright and refreshing with just enough malt body to stay in balance. A superbly ‘clean’ beer with just the right amount of bitterness to let you know it’s an IPA without overpowering the avor hops. A great lawnmower beer with less apparent alcohol level, built for drinking more than one.”
