I’m with Aubrey - they’ve used the term IPA loosely for this one, but I’m not complaining. This was an interesting and complex beer. It had a big malt presence, with toffee and caramel flavors. Only moderately bitter, but with some interesting hop flavors: spicy, citrusy, and floral.

Medium copper color with some turbidity. Fruity, floral aroma. Tasty roasted malt flavor with a bit of sweetness. Hops become more pronounced as it warms, but not to the extent of many American style IPA's. Smooth, malty finish.

copper colour, nice foam, honey aroma, sweet and simple flavor

I suppose an English style IPA since the hop profile was a bit restrained. A very good beer overall, however. Silky smooth going down; biscuit-like malty flavor; finishes with a crisp, subtle citrus hop flavor. Another strong New Amsterdam brew!

Clear gold with a slightly grayish sticky head. Not much nose, but what's there has toffee notes. The description of the beer mentions Centennial and Cascade hops; don't get them at all. Very much a British-style IPA, with a toffee-butterscotch character. Finishes slightly sweet, which accents the toffee nicely. Pretty good stuff.

Pours amber with a white head. Smells of citrus and caramel with some earthiness. Tastes earthy with some tea hints and a hint of spice on the finish.

Nice orange body with a medium eggshell-white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Floral aroma with some honey, relatively restrained. Flavor is tame, definitely not an American-styled IPA. The sweet maltiness is more noticeable than the hops. But the hops are there, floral and slightly citrusy. Slight bitter aftertaste. Good solid body, slightly chewy.
