Strong fresh hop aroma. Cloudy gold with a nice white head. Smooth and hoppy...the hops are slightly earthy and linger nicely. Notes: Cask

I thought it was a great IPA! I really enjoyed my pint of this at the West Chester location. The Hopzilla poured an amber color with a big, thick and rich off-white head. The nose featured plenty of floral notes, with hops, resin, grass, hay and spices. The body was perfectly balanced, with a smooth mouthfeel and pure drinkability. This is one of those beers that could you sit at either the bar or your home with a growler and enjoy all day and night long. The flavors were bitter, dry, floral and hoppy, but yet offered just the right amount of bready and sturdy maltiness to make this IPA truely enjoyable and delicious.

On draft at the North Wales location. Pours amber with a compact one inch thick fluffy off-white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, and caramel malts. The flavor is mildly bitter, citrus, and lightly sweet caramel. Good brew, i prefered the IPA over Hopzilla.

Draft. An old rating from Febuary. Clear amber body with thin head. Aroma is hoppy, grassy. Flavor is light citrus, sweet, lightly carbonated, very mild with a light mouthfeel. Tangy aftertaste and light bitterness. Finishes dry with a somewhat metallic taste.

Cask, hazy amber, big white head... aromatic, fresh hops, citrus, and a touch of pine... thin body(cask), good flavor, touch dry finish, very drinkable... gets a bit malty the more I get into it,

kinda let down by this. Does have a nice hop/pine aroma to it, but I thought the body was kinda flat, hop taste wasn’t anything too special, bit of a pine aftertaste. Not as massive as something with the last name zilla would suggest.

axilla (962) - New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 14, 2008
Lacaster. Poured a clean rd/brown color body with a thick white foam. The aroma is piney hops with some floral/perfumey notes. Flavors are are bitter citrus with under ripe grapefruit, perfume, light oranges, and pine.

Birdiebeagle (959) - Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 2, 2009
Draft pours a nice amber body with a white head. Has good aroma of citrus hops and pine. Lightly carbinated. Has a good mouthfeel but not as hoppy as I would have liked. Has a cool piney aftertaste. A pretty good beer from a local brewer.

on draft @ iron hill Lancaster. Poured clear amber color with a one finger white head. Aroma is of very floral a piney hops. I was in love even before I tasted it. Taste is the same with hints of grapefruit and orange. Balanced well, at least for me.
