A golden practically clear beer with a 1/4" head that lasts 3 seconds. Weak hop aroma. Sugary and hoppy flavr, a little sour. Overall, forgettable. Palate is a little bitter and slightly dry. Truly reminiscent of the new yrk subway.

This IPA does not give off lots of fruity notes, yet is full of intense flavor. Its flavor lasts long after the swallow. Nice and smooth bitter afterburn. Like this a lot.

Bottle form Weskbob. Thanks pal. Pours a hazy yellow with a big white head. The head is froathy and lasting. Aroma is good mostly hoppy with touches of yeast and citrus. Has a good carbonation and an okay mouthfeel. The flavor is decent with plenty of bitter hoppiness. Has a drylike texture. A solid finish with a real good aftertaste. This is a tasty ipa.

Music.."Yummy Down on This" by Bloodhound Gang
Bright Nose with some spice and floral, some pine and alcohol. Pours a gorgeous cloudy light orange with white head that last for days... Carbonation is fantastic and makes the beer very refreshing a lighter medium body for the style it finishes very crisp and smooth. After letting this IPA breath a bit the other flavors cut through the hops a bit.. Hops, Pine, spruce, some fruit tones and a good sweet malt backbone. The beer finishes bitter but not too much. It certainly leaves you wanting more and it is not dry. The more it opens up you start to get more grapefruit and some citrus to it... "

12 oz bottle. Cloudy yellow orange with a pillowy white head. Nose is dough, spicy orange and lemon peel; subdued. Crisp, medium light with cleansing carb. Taste is orange peel, grass, lemon basil and a touch of toffee. Lingering bitterness. Nice.

Draught at Tomato Head in Maryville. Pours a hazy brass with very small white head. The aroma is quite fruity, with tangerine, peach, and various other citrus fruits; there’s also a strong toffee-like malt in there with some canteloupe and honey notes. The flavor is pretty good, too... very English style malts with a sort of toffee and leather thing going on, but with lots of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit from the hops. It finishes with a mild wood/pine bitterness. Very drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 hopscotch (8212) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - JUN 7, 2009
Bottle... Pours hazy and golden with a mid-sized, wispy, white head. Great retention. Malty, earthy nose provides grapefruit, pine and honey with a rumor of tropical fruit. Medium-bodied and creamy with fizzy carbonation. Well-balanced. Biscuit and toffee sweetness is leveled nicely by a spunky west coast hop bite. Lightly bitter, coarse, dry finish.

Thanks to mreusch in a trade... 12 oz bottle! Thanks Matt! Awesome trade as always! Lighter amber w/a lasting thick, off white head. Grassy, caramelly, strongly fruity when chilled which I don’t mind. Lightly piney and floral hops. Toasty malt is light, and it’s mostly about the hops, but the fruitiness is strong up front, however, it backs off to grassy hops and toasty malt once it warms a bit. Flavor is mildly bitter from start to finish, but it’s pleasant. Floral and lightly herbal hop flavor with a touch of pine. Caramel is present but subdued. The overall balance is even, but lightly bitter in the aftertaste which is great IMHO. Grassy hop flavor throughout. MF is smooth, yet dry at the finish. High CO2, which adds to the aroma/flavor, but takes away from the M/F. Lighter medium body. Overall a well made IPA, a good beer , and I would recommmend it to beer lovers!
