BigBeer45 (676), Troy, Michigan, USA Jun 15, 2007 12 oz. Bottle: pours a amber dark gold with an off-white head, malt sweet, flower and some pine scents, caramel fragrances, sweet, malt and hop citrus flavors, taste of some toasted malt, hop bite with a flavor of grapefruit, faint fruit flavor, not a lot of pine scents or taste like the other IPAs I have had, malt sweetness is balanced pretty well with bitterness, hop bitterness persists into the finish, this brew falls along the lines of a English IPA recipe. McDreamy (24), Pori, Finland Jun 13, 2007 Bottled. Amber color, small head. Aroma consist lime and pine. Flavor is smooth with elegant hoppiness. Long finish with moderate citric hoppiness and some smoke. Very pleasant and good summer IPA. HOPSHUNTER (376), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 11, 2007 Great example of an IPA! Nothing outstanding about this beer but still very good. It poured a light copper color with a very minimal white head. I love the smell of this beer. The flavor contains all the usual IPA suspects: nice hop profile, pine, grapefruit. This beer was much better than I expected it to be. obguthr (986), Poquoson, Virginia, USA Jun 9, 2007 Hoppy aroma. Dingy copper color, medium head, good lacing Well hopped ringed with vanilla. Finish is quality hops, but lingers a bit too long. Wow! NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA Jun 7, 2007 The aroma is full of hops with light pine, citrus and heavier floral notes and some caramel malt accents. The body is a clear copper/orange and holds a diminishing off white head. Nicely hoppy and bitter with an ample malt base that leans toward caramel. The hops are citrus, pine, floral and I get some light plae white fruit notes toward the finish. The finish is quite bitter, but the body is light and quaffable, something I prefer tot he many thick IPA’s coming out these days. rocbyter (902), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Jun 5, 2007 Piny and floral hop aroma. Orange color with no head. Taste starts mild and finishes with moderate hop bitterness. wingman333 (233), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jun 5, 2007 Bottle...crisp, well-hopped, velvety IPA. Apple notes prevail. A little tastier than the mainstream IPA’s but not as brutal as the double IPA varieties. A "hoppy medium," to be exact. I like all the Brokklyn products and this one is no exception. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA May 25, 2007 Bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville NC. This beer struck all the usual cords when drinking an IPA. I was rather satisfied with this beer and would drink this beer again in the future. Nothing makes this beer stand out among other IPAs, but it is a nice one to enjoy on a summer day.
