This is definitely the flagship beer at the Broad Ripple Brewpub. It won a gold medal at the GABF in the early/mid 90's, and it what really propelled the brewpub to fame at that time. Beer pours a nice deep copper color with a thin off white head. Head dissapates quickly. They pour 20oz imperial pints, and give you a very full measure. Taste is outstanding. Strong malty backbone with a nice crisp finish. Definitely has some sweetness present and very mild bitterness. Body is between light and medium, making it a very easy drinking beer. This could easily be a great session beer that doesn't seem to grow old on the palate.
