Jan 14, 2008 I was pleased to see all these Brooklyn beers turn up here at Marrickville Liquorland. looks great - fantastic layer of dense creamy suds on top of glowing rusty liquid. plenty of aroma, a nice blend of the flowery earthy goldings, bready caramelly malt, and, surprisingly, for a USIPA, genuine english YEAST CHARACTER - baked apple. Falls away in the mouth - starts sticky and caramelly, disappears completely for half a second, then reemerges with a growing but thin lemony/peppery bitterness. that familiar english combination of flabby caramel and wateriness, washed out with perfumy/peppery goldings. doesn’t taste 6.8% at all, more like a 4% swiller.

Jan 9, 2008 Draft at Brixx. Copper colored with a small white head. A little grapefruity hops on the nose. Tastes like a typical IPA, but leans more towards peppery spice than bitterness. The flavor’s actually quite thin for an IPA, so I was surprised to see how high the alcohol content was. Not my favorite taste in an IPA, but it is smooth, easy drinking, and high alcohol.

Jan 7, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Red with orange hues. Nice foamy off white head. Nose is caramel with a touch of citrus hops. Good balance of malt an hops. Nice caramel maltiness with a touch of citrusy hops. Not really as much hoppiness as I like in an IPA. More like a Pale to me. Good beer, just not IPA enough for me.

Jan 7, 2008 Pours copper with thin head. Smells very hoppy. Taste is the same with a very bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry.

Jan 7, 2008 Wheatgerm nose with little hop presence. Deep amber color, foamy head. Taste was rich grains, wheatgerm, some hop presence behind it. Very balanced all around.

Dec 31, 2007 bottle - Pours copper with a one finger white head and a citrus hop aroma. The flavor is of course led by the hops, which are moderately bitter here, but not as crisp as I’d like. The medium bodied brew finishes with some decent bitterness. Average.
