not a bad brew, but i was expecting something really hoppy. It’s not much of a departure from ABC’s IPA, mixes hops with a hint of candy sweetness.

On tap @ Camp Hill. Pours a deep copper color with a lasting white head. Sweet caramel aroma, great malty backbone, not much else.

on tap-pours a thin light tan head and copper color. Aroma is very mild citrus/earthy hops, medium malt. Taste is sweet medium malt-nutty/peat, secondary dry/earthy/metallic hops. Same as an English Nut Brown. OK carbonation. Occasional.

Piint at the Harrisburg brewery, Muddy, bready brown colored body with some faint red hues as well, topped by a thin, tan, disorganized head. First impressions of the nose are sweet caramel malts, toasted bread, and cherry scented hops, but with some bakers yeast and wheat bread dough. Thin on the tongue, sweet, with a light bitterness, mostly just more of the caramel and cherry flavors that are fairly common in the so-called American strong ale. Hoppy for sure, but not grassy. Has a semi-gritty texture of soggy bread and grains, finishing pasty and dry, soggy and sour. Overall it’s very loose and disorganized, at tiumes resembling a strong amber ale, other times a DIPA that went wrong somewhere. They call it major hops but the hops are more minor, to be honest.

Had this on tap at their brew pub in Gettysburg. It’s pretty good and a little hoppier than their Hoppy Trails. Would definately recommend to an IPA lover
