Kane Brewing Company Head High IPA

Ladies and gentlemen, this is by far my most enjoyable review. About one year ago my brother-in-law John brought to my attention that there was a brewery opening up the road from him in Ocean Township. Well, after more than a year of anticipation, the brewery is finally open and distributing. John grabbed me a growler filled with Kane's Head High IPA from Brickwall Tavern in Asbury Park today and after two pints of it, I'm sold. The smell is citrus and floral mixed with hops. Taste is delicious at first with a citrusy sweetness that does not overbear you with maltiness. It quickly turns slightly piney, but with some amazing hops coming through. It is very well balanced and not hard to drink at all. For a brewery's first distributed batch this is extremely impressive. It reminds me a lot of Ithaca's Flower Power IPA and definitely comes close to being my favorite beer. It just might be my favorite IPA. A great beer that you need to get your hands on. As of right now Kane is only distributing kegs to bars and liquor stores with taps. I know its on tap at the Cranford Buy Rite so if you're around there check it out. They also have put out a Pale Ale and Summer Seasonal which I hope to try very soon. For more info on Kane see the below link. Cheers!
