On tap at the 2004 Kennett Square BF. Poured a darker copper color with a large off white head. Aromas and tastes of citrus and caramel. Lightly sweet and bitter. Not a bad IPA.

Clear copper\yellow color with white head. Nice hop aroma, some floral and fruit. The beer was generic IPA, not much for bitterness or maltyness. Decent beer but too much aromatic hops and flavor is not satisfactory.

On tap. One of the best beers at the brew pub. Poured clear dark copper with small tan head. Had a floral citrus aroma. Tasted of toasted malts and hops with a light bitter finish. BBC beers were never brewed very consistently, so one batch would be good and another bad.

KSBF 04, Small brown head, short lived. Brown almost chestnut colored brew, damn near a brown ale appearence. Spicey hop nose, lightly malty. Medium body. Spicey, citrusy hoppiness with a fair malt backing, light graininess. Decent malty dry finish. Sorta dark for an IPA though?

Clear copper body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, caramel. taste is medium sweet, caramel, floral, some grapefruit/earthy. Slight astringency. Medium body, slightly chewy.

4 oz. Sampler. A very hoppy IPA. Smooth, but bitter and hoppy on the finish. Well balanced. Hopheads must try this one.

A vice attempt, especially considering all the hops used, but this ale falls short. It is just an average overbrewed IPA. Copper in color with a nice hoppy aroma.

Dark, dark copper beer. Light hop nose. Excellent toasted malt flavors with just a hint of hop, subtler than many US micro IPAs. 1 of their 2 best beers.
