The beer: Dragonfly IPA

Brewed by: Upland Brewing Company, Bloomington, Indiana

Description (from the website): "India Pale Ale originated when the British added excessive amounts of hops to help preserve their ales for long journeys to their citizens overseas, including to India. Our Dragonfly India Pale Ale is true to this tradition, featuring seven hop additions to create a powerful hop profile. A solid malt base, however, tempers the bitter American hops, giving Dragonfly a balance not often found in this style. The end product is a well-balanced, malty beer with the crisp taste of hops and an exceptionally floral nose. Dragonfly is our most popular beer, serving as an introduction to craft beer for many and a longstanding favorite for many more."

Would I buy it again?: This was, for all intents, a basic IPA. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. Pretty much every brewery makes something like it. The only reason I bought this one is because I'm trying to collect beer bottles/cans from every state, and I didn't have Indiana.
