Commercial Description:
A robust deep copper ale with rich roasted and woody malt flavors and a distinct spicy hop. We used every conceivable way to hop this beer to give it a complex hop flavor and aroma. Grains- Caramel malts give a rich amber hue; Hops-Nuggets, East Kent Goldings and Fuggles are generously used.

some bite. worth the money. Similar to samuel adams but perhaps more body and less balance. really enjoyed this from a bottle with friends during a BBQ in Somerville, MA.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy tan head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt, medium hops. Taste is medium malt-caramel, medium hops-flat bitterness. Maltier than a standard IPA approximates a standard PA.

draft - Pours amber with a medium sized head. The nose is of pleasant citrus hops. This ale is lightly carbonated and has the bold hops taste one would expect from the style. The malt balance is decent and the finish is dry and lingering. It’s not a great IPA, but it’s not bad either. Try it.

A pleasant dark caramel colour with a long-lasting peaky tan head. Strong citrus start with a bitter finish.

Poured a reddish brown color with a thick tan head that left a clear body with some yeast in the bottom. The nose is caramel, funky citrus hops, and a soft candy aroma. The taste is acidic upfront, it has a tart bitterness that smacks your palate around. Their is a sour presence that is pretty strong, the date on the bottle is 7/06 but maybe this went before its time. The finish is bitter grapefruit and leaves a slightly tannic quality on the palate.
