whaleman (2158), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA May 9, 2008 Golden-orange body with a cottony white head. Cinnamon spice hop aromas with some paint thinner in the nose. Well-attenuated, husky grain flavor plus medium high bitterness. Solid pilot beer. corby112 (267), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA May 9, 2008 Pours a dark amber color with foamy white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma. Nicely balanced IPA but nothing too exciting. soyorganic (20), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA May 3, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark copper color with nice lacing. Aroma: Did I smell chocolate cherries? Nice aroma. Initial taste is nice and smooth. Slight hoppy aftertaste. I guess they were going for the British IPA style although I was thinking that the hops would out of control due to the name of the beer and the bottle which says "aggressively hops." What I have noticed with the Philly Brew Co is a slightly dull rooty/earthy aftertaste that is hard to describe. This however is my favorite from the company that does much for their Philly neighboorhood. The bottle and beer have character. michael-pollack (1209), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 21, 2008 Draught at TDR EX: Aroma of pine and resin hops, with some grapefruit. Poured gold with a hint of amber in color and a medium-sized creamy, white head that shrank but lasted. Clear. Sparkling. Excellent lacing. Medium bitter flavor. Tastes of resinous hops and caramel malts. Medium body. Creamy, dry texture. Average carbonation. Resin hop finish. bbp182 (242), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 5, 2008 Philadelphia New Bold IPA sampled on tap at The Grey Lodge Bar. The look is an ok off white head with little to no lacing and a golden amber color. It has a piny, floral bitter hop smell with a subtle hint of alcohol and grapefruit. The taste is of piny, floral hop with a biting dry finish.
