[Narrow Gauge](http://www.narrowgaugestl.com/) has been receiving a lot of notariety
recently, being called [one of the top 6 craft breweries to visit in the Midwest](http://www.travelpulse.com/news/destinations/the-6-best-craft-breweries-in-the-midwest.html)
and [the #6 new brewery in 2017 according to USA Today](http://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-new-brewery-2017/).

The brewery is known for their hoppy style of beers, mainly Pale Ales and IPAs. 
I recently tried a few different ones, and my favorite beer was OJ Run, an Imperial
IPA.

**ABV:** 8.60%
 **IBU:** 70 **Style:** IPA – Imperial/Double **Brewery Description:**
Imperial IPA dry hopped with Citra, Galaxy, and Amarillo.

Narrow Gauge OJ Run

Your only options for this are on tap at Narrow Gauge or in crowlers/growlers. I
poured it into a standard pint glass. Unfortunately, it’s not available at this 
moment.

**Appearance:** Pours a very hazy yellow with an inch of head, which dissipates 
quickly. There was decent amount of lacing left on the glass. It almost looks like
orange juice when poured.

**Smell:** Citrus is the primary smell; orange is primary, but pineapple and other
tropical fruits are present. It really doesn’t have the piney smell you get with
a lot of other IPAs.

**Taste:** The citrus is the main taste, like the smell. Orange is prominent, but
so are the other tropical fruits; these flavors give it a very sweet taste. There
is little hop taste that you expect with an DIPA (or even a single IPA).

**Mouth:** It’s light, especially for the style; which means it’ll sneak up on you
quickly. It would be very easy to drink this and think session IPA, but after a 
crowler, you’d be feeling good.

**Overall:** This might have bumped Zombie Dust and Jai Alai as my favorite beer;
it’s also more readily available for people in the STL area.

The [Beer Advocate](https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/44082/248704/) score
is N/A (not enough reviews) and the Bros haven’t scored it either. [Untappd](https://untappd.com/b/narrow-gauge-brewing-company-oj-run/1731266)
has an average ranking of 4.40 in 1559 rankings.
