May tasing notes; Bottles marked "5". I’m guessing fresh batch. Very good with a light fluffy head, great mouth feel and noticable but not obnoxious (nor flowery, either) hops. However, an odd flavor to the malt… what do these guys brew with, anyway? And why call it "chunky style"?

GuillaumeCL (309) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 22, 2013
Pours clear orange with an average amount of white head, and some visible carbonation, and lots of lacing. Smell is lots of citrus, a bit of fruit, some tree. Palate is on the lighter side of medium bodied with some really aggressive carbonation. Taste is slightly sweet then gets a big bitter hit before getting far less bitter and even slightly sweet hit in the aftertaste. Very nice IPA.

Great american IPA. Brought in Manhattan. Grea and complex aroma: hoppy (citric, grassy) and some yeasty and roasty notes. Good biterness and a bit acid. Medium-Light body. Fantástic beer. Filip

My favorite 6'er on a regular basis. Tastes smooth but you get the hops nicely as well. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

ryanscourt (278) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Citrus hoppy aroma, not as sweet in the flavor. Ok hop flavor and enjoyable body. One of the original ipas I heard of when getting into craft beer, but have had many I enjoy more than this.

This is a good drinkable ipa. It was actually the beer that turned me on to beer and kicked off a fairly debacular summer. Hiding a six pack outside near the bar you’re drinking at is a pretty good idea, cause they’re light and poundable, and also very delicious. I do feel that they have had a recipe change for the worse in the past 4 years, seeming to have become much maltier, although my palate might have changed more than the beer. Drink it and be happy to have it, A crowd pleaser for sure

GSH1976 (127) - Delaware, USA - MAY 13, 2013
Pours a clear golden with minimal head. Aroma is pine and citrus but not nearly as bold as the west coast IPAs. Taste is a weak citrus and a little grassy with more of a malt presence than is usual for the style. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. I have had so many of these over the years and never understood the high ratings so I decided to try it once again and I still feel the same way. It is very easy to drink but there are so many better IPAs out there.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale yellowish orange. Bitter in the front but with no after taste or aspirin flavor that a lot of IPAs have. Awesome! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at the keswick tavern. Pour is a nice orange gold with a fine head. Aroma is hop on hop. Taste is a nice bitterness with a rich malt. Finish is a nice warm bitter. Very good IPA.
