Amber color. A rather hoppy aroma. Very crisp and bitter hoppiness in the flavor with hints of floral and citrus.

Tap @ Boston/NY 2009. Clear orange color, short head. Fresh hoppy aroma, bit grapefruit. Decent bitter taste. Ok stuff.

Pours clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is florals, honey and pine. Taste is subtle sweetness with a little bitterness on the finish. Not as bitter as I like my IPA’s. Very drinkable. .

Practice beer courtesy of nimbleprop, our generous host, thank you sir. Straightforward IPA, tasty enough, hoppy enough, without being overbearing. No complaints.

Am a newbie to IPAs, but found this one bland. Very little hop to it. Won’t be tempted to try it again.

Pours a light golden color with good lacing. Aroma is floral and sweet. Flavor is mellow with very little hop for an IPA.

I drank this one about a week ago (probably the third time I had it) and I don’t ever wait this long before reviewing a beer, but I don’t care to buy it again, so please forgive me my lack of details. This is just a very weak and watery IPA. There is a slight hop presence and nothing more. I can name a few pilsners off the top of my head with a more pronounced hop flavor. It’s not a terrible beer, but not good enough even to recommend to an amateur IPA drinker. It’s so thin it might just turn them off of the style.

Hoppy, malty, decent pale ale. poured golden with a white foamy head. a nice floral aroma. started drinking at normal fridge temp which held a lot of flavor back, after it warmed a little it tasted fine.
