I suppose this is what a session IPA would taste like, but my palate has been so over-hopped that it does not taste like much at all.

Bottle. Pours golden orange. Little to no head and moderate lacing. The flavor is a bit lacking and finishes less bitter than a normal IPA. Not too bad, it just lacks the kick of a normal IPA. Have another? If its all you have...

Pours out a nice orangy amber with a decent white head, fairly appetizing. Aroma is not particularly strong, and is surprisingly malty, almost more malty than hoppy. Flavor is not typical of an IPA - there is not a whole lot of hoppiness - but the texture is good, and the taste nicely balances malt and hops and pleases. Finish is a little bitter and has just a whisper of fruit.

Pours a transparent golden color with a nice foam filled white head. Hoppy aroma as expected with an IPA. Taste of fruit with a less the overpowering aftertaste of bitter hops. I was surprised by the subtle hops in this IPA. Overall its a good IPA, but not great. Single 12 oz. bottle Reviewed on: 11-06-2008

Hazy orange color non existent head and no carbonation a lifeless looking brew. Honey and citrus aroma ending in a mild hay smell. Heavy malt taste then a more subdued hops as opposed to other boutique brewers. An even and dry palate is the best aspect of this beer. A mild yet safe choice in the US IPA category.

Lame and bland IPA pretty seriously lacking in any real flavor or character. Very little hoppiness and a little bit of bland floral scent. Not so hot this one.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a thick creamy head with fair duration, and attractive lacing over a dark golden clear body....nose primarily of bitter hopping, with a bit of floral, no real pine or resin, some malt....taste initially is of bready malt, then evolves into a rather lingering hop bitterness, including grapefruit and peach pit tones, mouth feel pleasantly carbonated. This may be a little too hop bitter, with not quite enough hop floral to be typical of an English style IPA.

I like this IPA. It isn;t overly bitter, but still keeps its hoppy flavor.No head unfortunately. I’d recommend this beer to you my friend.
