A mahoganny amber IPA with a thick lacing mocha head. In aroma, smooth floral hops with clover field, biscuit malt, and light honey notes. In mouth, a smooth biscuit malt with vinous notes, nice floral hops with grapefruit notes, very classic. Shared with GRM. BB March 2010.

Coppery color with a tannish white head. Aroma is floral, hoppy, but sweet. A bit thin, especially in the finish. The hops is there, but it’s tame. A lackluster IPA.

tap at Portland location - Pours lightly hazy copper and has a citrus hop aroma. The flavor features good bitterness and sweet malt along with a bit of herbal character. Good IPA.

Light amber in color with a thin white head. Fresh hop aroma, grapefruit. Flavor starts with sweetness up front and medium bitterness on the back end. Good but unremarkable.

Drinking from the bottle so no appearance. Hint of malt in nose. Hop flavor, slightly cloying with caramel malt. Bitterness of an IPA. A straight down the middle IPA

Tasted at Seaport Beer festival. Awesome. very malted and hoppy pine cone aroma. more of the same on the palate. very enjoyable brew. although i get some weird funk to it.

12oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a frothy white head that settles quickly. Malty aroma with caramel notes and some piney citrus hops. Flavor is malty with a taste of caramel and toasted malt. It finishes bitter and grassy with a touch of pine and citrus. Mouthfeel is medium body with light carbonation. Not that hoppy for an IPA.
