Jun 21, 2008 A: Sweet malt backed by lightly floral and citrusy hops
A: clear orange/amber with a nice two finger off white head that settles into a blanket of bubbles which remain until the end of the glass
F: Starts lightly bitter with ample sweet malty notes. The hops come through slightly spicy & fairly citrusy. Finishes on a moderately bitter note.
O: IPA? really? Not a bad beer (as an English pale rather than trying to hang with hoppy IPA category, even if you say Brit/English)

Jun 14, 2008 Bottle: pours a clear golden amber color with a frothy white head, light floral hop aroma, taste is mildly hoppy, just a touch bitter and pretty smooth. A nice IPA.

Jun 12, 2008 On cask at Teresa’s Next Door. Poured clear, light amber with creamy bone white head that left solid rings of lace. Started with notes of caramel then finished with a moderate citrus profile. Respectable hop/malt balance. Pretty toned down for an IPA, but very sessionable. Better than its rating to date.

Jun 11, 2008 Pours a deep clear amber with soapy white head. Mild floral hop aroma. Good malt backbone with pine and citrus hop flavors. Medium body with a slightly bitter finish. Decent IPA.

Jun 8, 2008 I took a Philly variety case with me on a camping trip this past weekend and this beer was flat out the best in the case. Very tasty with a good balance of floral hops with a nice malty backbone. Went down smooth with a little heat at the end. Great label too!

Jun 1, 2008 Classic malty version of the IPA style. Nice easy drinking, but hoppy enough for your West Coast IPA style fans. Very good for a introduction of the style to novices, all around good beer from the Bartons. Cheers to my hometown brewery.

May 27, 2008 I thought this more of an English style than American style IPA. Bitterness is evident, but not over-the-top. I enjoyed Newbold IPA. Happily consumed @ a Memorial Day party with all four Philadelphia Brewing Co’s brands in the coolers. This placed third in the race to drink all the PBC beers present that day due to its low demand among macro beer drinkers.
