Half liter growler: poured a caramel brown with a creamy off white head. Sweet malt and light hop aroma. Sour bitter hops and balanced malt make this a solid drinkable IPA. Not for super hop heads but very good.

Cloudy orange-amber. Deep fruitiness to this beer - plums, oranges, a little tartness and some cheesiness. Lots of brown sugary malts in there as well. Sweet, but rounded example.

From a growler filled at the Brewery 12/2005. Nice English style IPA with a decent hop aroma and a nice hop flavor. A tasty and pleasant British/European hop profile that’s a little more spicy and sharp and not fruity/floral/cirtus like most american IPA. A little touch of that rough bitterness (from a higher cohumulone hop?), but it adds to the charm. A nice cloudy unfiltered beer, the way they should be. The London Ale yeast finishing out slightly sweet but dry enough for the style. Tasty and very drinkable.

Surprisingly amount of citrus and flowery tastes in the hops. I could drink this stuff all day. I kept an extra litre to age in my basement.
