Aroma is a mixture of strong hops (but not too much) with a mixture of apricot/citrus fruitiness. Very nice. The appearance is great - this beer pours a nice hazy amber with generous head that left a nice bit of lacing. The flavor is definitely sweet up front with a bitter hoppy finish, characteristic of the type and not at all unappealing. Mouthfeel is good but not spectacular. It comes off as somewhat thin overall, could use a bit more body to compliment the aroma/appearance. Overall a good IPA although certainly not the best I’ve had. Glad I could pick this one up while on a weekend trip to Albuquerque. Not sure if I’d be able to find it at home in Illinois.

Lovely light orange colour with a dense foamy head. Soft floral nose. Some initial marmalade and grapefruit with a sharp bitter finish. Decent, but gets a bit boring as I went through the bottle. Still i did enjoy the juxtaposition between light floral notes and more bracing grapefruit bitterness.

Pours dark straw colored. Small white head. Smell is light and citrusy. Taste is bitter, as is the finish. Juicy and balanced. Not a bad ipa.

Pours a light cloudy olive with a thick bubbly head out of a bottle into a pint glass which says "He looks like a pink nightmare." Aroma is sweet and not so hoppy. Aroma is a bit off and sour and alcohol, in fact. Flavor is non-existent. Am I drinking water here, or an IPA? I’m going to dump this so I can try something else. Thank you Bridgeport for wasting a bottle of beer. I can’t believe this is labeled as an IPA. Could this be a bad byo6pk bottle from Binny’s? The one I just had was good.

Bottle and on tap. A mild India Pale Ale. Balanced and crisp. Body is a bit thin. Light bitterness towards the end.

dresden (139) - Saskatchewan, CANADA - DEC 22, 2011
Looks good. Yellow gold. Not much aroma to speak of. Light citrus. More floral and herbal than anything. Not the hop taste I really enjoy. Not crazy about this one.

Not as hoppy as I would like for a IPA. It is still a nice beer with a smooth after taste. I wish it was more hoppy. It has a heavy carbonation...must use Praxair. Overall it is a drinkable beer. I would be happier if it was hoppier. After drinking one was not looking forward to drinking two

cool bottle. Great aroma, initial hoppy taste followed by a strong crisp citrus finish that eventually fills your whole mouth after a bottle or two. My advice- FIND this beer and try it! this is my favorite beer
