COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
As the British Empire expanded, English brewers added extra hops to keep beer fresh for increasingly long sea voyages. The beer on board the Mayflower shared this trait. Mayflower IPA puts a descendant’s twist on this style, with a powerful hop profile balanced by plenty of malt character. We use the freshest hops from the Pacific Northwest to give this beer its distinct, piney flavor and delightful, fruity aroma.

ruggedman (643) - Portland, USA - NOV 1, 2009
On cask at Nerax’s event at Novare. Pours a golden hazy straw color with a distinct piney hop nose. Flavors are very clean, crisp, and typical over hopped delicious west coast style IPA. There’s a solid malt backbone at work here, but it’s all about the hops here. This was a nice little cask.

kidmartinek (1757) - austin, Texas, USA - JAN 2, 2012
Rich amber color with a copper-tinted white head that thins down. Strong citrusy hop aroma. Delicious and sweet but the hops stomp the sweetness with their bitter deliciousness. Holy shit, this beer is so good I can’t even think right.

Live close to the brewery so I get to enjoy regular fresh pints. One of my favorite IPAs to date. Not a hop contest winner, but wonderfully floral. Or as much as I’d care to enjoy.

Pint draft at British Beer Company in Falmouth, MA. It was fresh and hoppy, but not very distinctive.

Smooth for an IPA, but with nice hoppy kick. Not too sweet and it seems to have a high ABV.

bluemooner (422) - Isanti, Minnesota, USA - OCT 1, 2011
Pours medium copper with medium white head and some lacing. Aroma is malt and floral, citrus hops. Flavor is quite hoppy with hints of citrus, floral, grass, malt, and grains. Medium bodied with medium carbonation and bitter finish. Pretty good IPA.

zdk (1609) - New York, New York, USA - SEP 21, 2011
Cask at Get Real NY - version dry hopped with Sorachi ace. Nice lemony funk on the nose, sweet caramel body with piney, dry bitter finish. Solid IPA.

MaBeer1972 (908) - Taunton, Massachusetts, USA - AUG 22, 2011
Had this on Cask at British Beer Company in Franklin. Wonderful fruity-spice aromas and flavor. Goes down very smooth. Well balanced. The cask makes it a bit more airy and easier to drink. Fruit-spice, slightly sweet finish.

Ratman197 (5536) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - AUG 1, 2011
Bottle poured a clear golden amber with a small lingering ivory head. Aromas of biscut, earthiness, grapefruit and light pine. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of biscuit, earthiness, grapefruit and a hint of pine with a smooth dry lingering moderatly bitter finish.
