My favourite in the Brown’s sampler mix. Promptly bought a pint right afterward! A bitter- citrus flavour lightens the hoppy "sting" on the tongue. Will definitely have this brew again!

on tap-pours a thin white head with cloudy yellow color. Aroma is faint hops. Taste is lots of biting tart hops, faint malt. Good carbonation.

12oz bottle. Pours cloudy dark amber in color with white head. Aroma of light citrus hops and malt. Taste of hops and malt with bitter finsih. Very well balance for an IPA.

On tap at the brew pub in Troy. Claims to be made from all New York hops - very cool - couple of places doing that now. Pours a ruddy bronze with a one-finger white head that lasts. Noticeably absent in the entire profile of this beer is citrussy hops - but they are more than made up for by a piney/resiny flavor, backed up by some floral notes in the nose. A nice bitter finish, faint soapy-ness. Good carbonation, not exceedingly light on the palate.

On tap at the brewpub. Almost clear orange/amber in color. Citrus and flowers in the aroma- moderate, I personally would like the aroma to be a bit more assertive. Taste is rather mild for an IPA- citrus/grapefruit and floral hop flavor, balanced by pale malts. Dry with a moderately bitter finish. Clean and well done if you like a balanced IPA, I personally like more assertive hop character.
