12oz bottle pours a translucent copper amber with a thin, creamy white head. Aroma is a little understated, some light maltiness, crackers, lemons and some orange zest. The hops come through better in the flavor, a little piney, some lemons, with a strong malt back bone, caramel, sweet dough, some toasted grains, nice sweet malts. Finish is medium bodied and smooth. Kick a little more into the nose and you’d have something very very nice. Even as is, I think this is underrated.

Pours a three finger cream head that fades slowly, leaving some lace. Cloudy brown/amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Piney hops and paint thinner nose. Flavor starts with sweet malt but quickly goes to hop and finishes with a paint thinner aftertaste. IPAs are not my favorite but this one needs a lot of work. Overpriced at $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT.

Poured a hazy copper color. Worty aroma with some citrus notes. Malt start to the flavor. Citrus with a mild bitterness on the finish. Light bodied.

Malt and hop aroma. Very hazy orange color with a small off white head. Malty beginning quickly developing a light hop finish.

Bottle shared by fredandboboflo. Pours a hazy dark amber gold. Weak aroma of caramel and pine. Very strong pine flavor with an extremely weak malt backbone. Over-hopped and overdone.

Bottle. Odd. Not very IPA. Mildly citrusy. Kind of sweet really. Not good rich sweet malt. Just odd. I don’t understand it.

Bottle shared by fredandboboflo. Pours a dark brown/amber with a small head. Aroma of muddied bitterish citrus hops, very weak. Flavor of citrus hops with a bitter finish. Weak/harsh palate. Not worth it- get the Blonde or Mahogany instead.

Aroma of hops, grassy, and alcohol. Yellow/tan head that was light and fizzy and quickly disapated. Poured an amber/orange colour. Bitter bad aftertaste
