COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This ale’s strength is it’s simplicity. We use copious amounts of Columbus hops which really shine through. Unfiltered and unpretentious.

Had under the Atlantic name. Maybe the reason they needed to re-brand it was because it was pretty bad. Not an IPA at all. If its strength is its simplicity it is very strong.

guil0000 (198) - New Brunswick, CANADA - JUN 5, 2013
Pours an amber hazy color with a quickly disapearing white head. Node is mostly grapefruit with a bit of burnt cookie. Pretty heavy weird consistency. Hops are kind of weird floral tasting. Feels old.hoppy finish, really disapointing.

swiseman (370) - Fredericton, New Brunswick, CANADA - MAY 26, 2013
pours amber with medium hop aroma. bitterness for an IPA is minimal. some hops and taste of nuts on the finish. nothing special at all about this one.

thornecb (3690) - Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA - MAY 14, 2013
Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with little retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Roasted nuts and sourdough aromas. Soft with astringent earthy bitterness front to back. Not very well balanced, and rather unpleasant.

johnnnniee (1564) - Bedford, New Hampshire, USA - APR 20, 2013
Pours a medium copper color with a smallish white head that quickly dissipates leaving spotty lace on the sides. Smells of rancid popcorn with and earthy sulfury thing going on. Toffee and caramel maltiness. The flavor is bitter sweet and malty with caramel and burnt buttered popcorn making up most of the flavor. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. I have a sensitivity to diacetyl and can spot it when others don’t, this beer is has enough that it makes it unpleasant for me to drink.

Damico (1979) - Royersford, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 29, 2013
Cap pops with huge carbonation and beer pours golden unclear orange with quite a big foamy white head. The aroma is light citrus hops and biscuit. Flavor starts out with some juicy sweet hops, but unfortunately settles with some mild spicy malts.

blipp (4883) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - FEB 23, 2013
Bottle, branded as "Atlantic New Guy IPA." Pours hazy orange with a white head. Weird old herbal hops, and medium malty sweetness. Not good at all.

ryanscourt (303) - Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 11, 2013
Received in a variety pack from friend. Orange appearing. Piney aroma, only mild sweetness. Not too much aroma. Bitter taste, one again with only mild sweetness. Very bitter finish. After taste not very enjoyable. Lacks balance. Not that enjoyable but nice to try a one hooped beer for the experience.

HeistAlmighty (850) - Saint John, New Brunswick, CANADA - DEC 10, 2012
355ml bottle. Pour was almost all head, enough to fill four glasses with thick off-white head. Unfiltered, yellowish colour, fair bit of sediment in the glass. Some floaties actually suspended in the head. Floral and grapefruit aroma, sweet malt. Taste is much the same with some earthiness, uncomplex. Overall, drinkable, but a one note song.

Pours a hazy amber with a medium lt tan head. Aroma has sweet caramel and tea...buttery! Flavor is buttery and earthy...piney and medicinal...awful. mouthfeel is medium and the finish is buttery pine/medicine and very earthy/bitter and dry.
