Sep 21, 2007 12 ounce bottle from SS Summer 07
Hues of gold and orange with a white head that left a little bit of lace.
The aroma is very herbal and earthy. A pleasant dose of biscuits and toast. Some citrus rind as well.
The malt flavor starts off as biscuits, then quickly puches you with bitterness and that lasts well after the swallow.
The palate is sort of thin, and there’s a ton of carbonation. Sort of dry finish.
A fine beer, but not a fave.

Sep 17, 2007 Pours a beautiful copper color with a sizeable, although by no means enormous, white head. The aroma is of sweet citrus peels coupled with a generous hoppy bite. The mouthfeel is smooth as a baby’s butt. Tastes like a solid IPA, with hints of citrus fruits (predominantly orange) and a sizeable hoppy bite at the end. This is yet another terrific offering from Brooklyn Brewery.

Sep 15, 2007 Rated while drinking: Pours golden with a nice fluffy white head. Smells as an IPA should, with hints of apples and lemon. Nothing too showy here. Pretty nice balance of malts and hops in the mouth. Malts drop out while hops ton continue to talk up a storm at the back of the tongue and beyond. Pretty citrusy too. This IPA is medium-bodied, with a tiny bit of carbonation and bitterness leftover from the hops. Considering the ABV though, this stuff slides down easily. Hardly any alcohol detected at all. Not too shabby for an IPA, but nothing down right exciting about it either. Could help someone start the ladder of IPAs, but not necessarily something I would care to come back to.

Sep 15, 2007 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Pale copper color with small off-white head. Faint lemony hop aroma. Medium honey-apricot sweetness with underlying and finishing bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. Good but not exceptional or exciting.

Sep 15, 2007 Updated: Jan 10, 2008Not the best IPA by a long shot. The malt was too strong, and the hops lacking.

Sep 13, 2007 Light orange pour. Little to no head. Carbonated. Aroma or hops and sweet citrus. Bitter and carbonated. Very Little malt covering. A hint of the sweetness you smell can be detected. Not really drinkable overall. Too carbonated. Not one of the better IPAs I have ever had.

Sep 8, 2007 Excellent example of the style - quite strong but balanced in the bitterness. Good colour.
