12 oz. bottle labelled Iriquois Pale Ale. Pours a hazy gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left partial lace. Pleasant aroma of citrus and caramel. The flavor is malt, caramel, and citrus with some moderate grapefruit pith bitterness. Medium bodied. No problems.

Poured into a pint glass, golden amber hue with small white head. Nice nose full of grapefruit. Malty sweetness is only slightly peirced by hop bitterness. Grapefruit is inviting on the finish. Mouth is light and buttery. Yum. More malty than most IPAs but enjoyable none the less. Rated via BeerBuddy

The aroma is caramel, citrus. The appearance is clear orange, white head. The flavor is nice, caramel, citrus, pine. The finish is sweet, then pine hops. Medium in body. Run of the mill IPA, but solid and enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a 1.5-finger foamy beige head that leaves nice lacing as it recedes. Aromas of citrus peel and sweet pine, with some orange and lemon notes. The flavor is zesty citrus; sharp and tart initially with nice bitterness, and some papaya and earthy malt in the finish. Medium carbonation and body. Surprisingly good; a solid offering. [912]

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear gold with an orange hue and a white head that lasted throughout the beer and laced nicely. Aroma was a combination of citrus and grapefruit with hints of pine and earthy grain backing. Flavor was similar with a bit more pine and earthiness coming through and grapefruit in the finish.

Growler from the brewpub. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a generous white head. Smells of citrus, caramel, pine, some floral, perfumy elements. Tastes of pepper, some earthy hints, tea, resiny with a lightly bitter finish.

On tap at the Adirondack Pub and Brewery. Clean lightly orange hued golden amber with a medium white head. Big clean citrus and pineapple. Touch of sweet malt, medium bodied. Finishes with a long deep grapefruit bitterness. Tried ten of their beers while I was there, and this was the standout. Nicely done. Both of their hoppy beers were delicious.

On tap at brewpub. Clear copper golden in color with a nice off white head. Malty hoppy aroma. Grassy, earthy, floral hoppy notes. Caramel malty and hoppy flavor. Full bodied. Very drinkable. Finish is bitter.

Nez de houblon légèrement citrique (pamplemousse) et aux notes résineuses, malté de caramel butterscotch léger avec des notes rôties et de pain ainsi que des petites notes fruitées dagrumes. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux petites notes huileuses et résineuses. Petites notes fruitées (agrumes, traces dabricots) accompagné dune moyenne amertume de houblon citrique (pamplemousse, présent toute la gorgée) lors de lentrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un moyen goût de malt du genre caramel butterscotch aux petites notes rôties ainsi qu avec des notes de pain puis en finale lon assiste à un léger regain damertume asséchante de houblon légèrement résineux et aux notes herbeuses. Post-goût long-moyen et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon citrique et aux notes résineuses et herbeuses. (juin 2008)

Growler. Poured a beautiful clear copper color with a decent sized off-white head. Diacetyl and bready malt aroma. Some hops with a floral and citrus character. Pine and toasty malt. Short thin bitter rind finish.
