Fat Head's Head Hunter IPA

I ordered a glass of Fat Head's Head Hunter IPA when I was last in Pittsburgh. The beer pours a golden color with a bubbly white head. The aroma consists of lemon and pine. The taste is lemon and pine with bits of caramel, pineapple, and grapefruit. The alcohol content is 7.0% ABV. I thought that the Head Hunter was a delicious IPA and really well done. This is a quality IPA and should be tried by those of you who like hops.

Blue Point IPA

McGrath's in Harrisburg recently added Blue Point IPA to their draft list, so I ordered a glass. The beer has an amber color with a bubbly white head. The aroma is citrus and grapefruit with light pepper accents. The taste is lemon and grapefruit, but mostly grapefruit, with a nice hop accent that is not overwhelming. The beer also has a smooth hop finish. The alcohol content is 7.0% ABV. I'm going to assume that this is the 10th Anniversary IPA from Blue Point, as the original IPA has been retired for some time. However, I really enjoyed this beer with the heavy grapefruit flavor.

Stone Cali-Belgique IPA

Another beer I tried while at the Stone Brewery is the Cali-Belgique IPA. The beer has a light golden color with a filmy white head. The smell is sweet and fruity, mostly consisting of grape with a light orange accent. The taste is sweet and filled with grape and orange flavors. The beer finishes with a peppery hop bite. The alcohol content is 5.0% ABV. I thoroughly enjoyed this IPA, as it strayed quite a bit from your run-of-the-mill IPA. Instead of lemon fruit accents, the orange and grape really made this beer enjoyable.

Lagunitas IPA

I ordered a draft of Lagunitas IPA at McGrath's in downtown Harrisburg. The beer has an amber color with a foamy white head. The aroma is sweet and floral with hints of pepper. The taste is light citrus with pepper hops with a light undertone of caramel. The alcohol content is 5.7% ABV. I thought that the beer had a perfect balance of hops and was very good. I would recommend this IPA for anyone who does not like an overpowering hop beer, and I will definitely be ordering this again in the future.
