Sep 6, 2008 Just not a fan of hoppy IPA beers. Has a nice hue, fruity/hoppy aroma, just don’t enjoy that much hops.

Aug 31, 2008 Bonus from NYbeer, pours golden copper with a three finger frothy egg shell colored head. The nose is IIPA hoppy with pieapple, floral hop and caramel sweet malt. The flavor is a bit more subdued and dry, but very well balanced. Earthy, dry and bitterness in the finish.

Aug 30, 2008 12 oz bottle purchased at EZ Liquors. Pours a clear reddish amber with a large frothy off white head. Boozy aroma especially for a beer thats only 6.2%, vegtable notes, grains, caramel and old hops. Flavor thankfully is a step up from the aroma with notes of caramel, hops, and grainy bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a bitter finish. Solid IPA but don’t go knocking down any doors to get this one but also don’t pass it up if someone offers you one.

Aug 25, 2008 This is a very nice IPA from what i consider one of the breakout breweries in my area. We sell a ton of it at the liquor store and i think it is the best that i have tasted from blue point. It has a fruity, complex hop flavor that is enjoyable for summer or fall. It has a very clean taste to it.

Aug 24, 2008 Draft. pale and slightly cloudy/hazy. Pretty slight hop aroma, flavor abut the same. Not a bad beer, but pretty weak for an IPA. Would make a good summer lawn mowing brew.
