COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
At the request of you hopheads, we produced this I.P.A. with a deep golden color, plenty of hop bitterness balanced by malt sweetness. Because of the extensive dry hopping, there’s a floral and citrus hop finish. It’s then lightly filtered to maintain the appropriate body and flavor. The beer features a combination of American, English and German malts to balance the large amount of hops. The HopFish also uses three hop varieties at five different times and has been dry-hopped for two weeks with 22lbs of Nugget whole leaf hops.

dorée, blanche. Arôme, assez simple; houblon et citron avec qcq notes de malt. Goût, subtile mélange de houblon citronné avec des notes de malt, le tout laissant une fin moyennement épicée. Palais est sec et effervescent. On peut y noter une influence européenne de par les malts utilisés. Facile à boire, sans vraiment se démarquer du lot.

This is just a bit too sweet for an IPA. Cloudy and golden with a moderate head and very light on the palate. But just a tad to sweet that overwhelms the hoppiness.

Poured a slightly hazy amber-orange color with a large off-white head. Aroma has some citrus with grains. Taste is a bit watery with lots of hay and grain flavors. Some hops with citrus, but not as much as in the aroma. Overall it’s ok, but it’s a little too smooth for an IPA.

12 ounce from mixed six pack at Foodery. Orange body. Foamy pour. Not much flavor, however. IPA? Who knows how fresh the bottle is, but not tasty.

RedSox2004 (804) - Pacific Palisades, California, USA - MAY 21, 2012
Hazy orange color with a modest head, ok retention and nice lace. Subtle grassy hops aroma with a touch of pineapple and grapefruit. Slight hops bitterness balanced with bready malt sweetness. Light to medium body, lots of carbonation, a bit harsh on the tongue, and a crisp finish. A good example of the difference between an East Coast IPA and a West Coast IPA. Perhaps my tongue is numb.

bytemesis (156) - Sunnyvale, California, USA - MAY 15, 2012
Bottle. Pours clear amber with a medium off-white head that dissipates quickly with some lacing. Aroma is of grapefruit, but fades rapidly after opening. Taste is mild, with a mix of citrus and floral hops and some sweet caramel malt backing. Finish is moderately bitter and clean. Surprisingly light for its type, and a little bland for my personal preference.

NikkTwist (176) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 14, 2012
Draft at the Khyber. Hazy dark honey pour. Citrus pith bitterness throughout but a honey sweeness lingers after. Nice palate. Decent.

RGDave (84) - Lebanon, New Jersey, USA - MAY 9, 2012
On tap, Dinosaur BBQ, Newark NJ. Clean lines. Pours golden with a reddish hue; nice head retention. Limited hop aroma. Attack is smooth, almost too smooth for a standard IPA, with a balanced middle and relatively clean finish with just a bit of lingering hops. Solid offering, simple IPA.

popkow (212) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - APR 30, 2012
Pours a amber with a small white head. Aroma is hoppy, floral, with a dash of pine. Medium on the palate with average carbonation. Flavor is bittersweet with a light bitter finish.

boxofrane (419) - pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 9, 2012
Draft. Pours yellow with minimal head, no lacing, and little carbonation. The atoms is minimal with a little bread. The taste is mild bitter. This is more apa than ipa.
