From a growler. The color is a nice looking amber-copper with a thin but reliable head. The aroma is floral and hoppy and very enticing. The taste has a very pleasing hoppy bitterness with some citrus notes on the tail end. This was a well done beer and one that would be worth trying if you ever get to this pub.

A lightly hazed orange amber ale with a thin off white head. A good restrained fragrant hops aroma, with meaty notes, grapefruits, classy. In mouth, a good Impy with oily malt and c-hops, grapefruits and warming alcohol. Rich and chamring. On tap at brewpub, Dec. 27 2009.

On-tap at the brewpub in New London, NH. Two finger white head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Almost clear amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Hoppy nose. Starts and finishes hoppy, brewer is right - "hoppier and more bitter than the IPA".
