Commercial Description:
Our hoppiest beer to date! This formidable India Pale Ale has a hop aroma that demands attention. The bold, citrus hop flavor is balanced by a dry malt character that makes this refreshing ale a true classic.

Amber color, the nose was sweet with the usual IPA citrus. Taste was that of a wheat beer and IPA mix, more sweetness than expected. Also a little thinner than expected. I find it unique but no better than standard.

Poured a a pretty clear amber color with an off white head. Aroma is a little citrus hops and some malts. Flavor is also a bit malty for an ipa but has a nice bitter finish.

I experienced this beer as I do most others, straight from the bottle. With that in mind, I can’t say a whole lot about the appearance, however I can’t say much for the taste either. I’m not particularly fond of the IPA style so my opinion should not be held in high regard. I found this beer to be just average with the typical bitter and rubbery aftertaste I so often experience with IPAs. The 8% alcohol content didn’t hurt but I still found myself rushing to finish this one.

Light amber color with slightly off-white head that left nice lacing. Mild citrus and malty aroma. Hop and malt balance did not impress me as balanced but more ‘muddy.’ On tap at The Shep’.

Poured a clear dark copper with lots of carbonation bubbles rising throughout the glass. There was a thin light tan head. A nice hoppy aroma with hints of citrus. An initial crisp hoppy bite with a little sweetness and a very mild rolling bite of bitterness on the finish. A mild flavor of citrus and a touch of maltyness in the flavor. It was very good and refreshing with a very easy dry finish like a good English ale.

Very nicely balanced. Maybe not as hoppy as some others but still has a hop bit to counter the sweet malts. Reminds me a little of Dogfish Head’s 60 minute.
