Commercial Description:
Everything great that was ever built required a long hammer. A trusty tool used by ordinary ordinary men to make extraordinary things. Transcontinental train tracks. Impossible pipelines. Soaring skyscraper. Long Hammer IPA puts this bold spirit in a bottle. And like its namesake, it's a beer built to stand the test of time.

(Bottle). Citrusy aroma. Light orange color with almost no head. Flavor has the IPA citrus tang, and some hops bitterness and malt background, but everything is muted and overly restrained. Not bad really, just not enough.

Sampled at Flour City Brewers’ Fest, Rochester NY. AU15/08.

App.: Clear deep golden, fair white froth. Aroma: Strong fresh hopes – citrus and pine, leafy, light malts. Palate: Medium body, sparse but sharp carbonation. Flav.: Very fresh leafy hops that is almost savoury, some fruitiness; dry with fair bitterness.

Didn’t love the hop flavours.

Poured from tap an orange-amber with a small off-white head. Aroma was a muddled aged floral hop, toast, and wet cardboard. Flavor followed with a slightly bigger floral hop presence, a somewhat malty body and a lingering dry bitter finish. Overall tastes like it could have been a nice hoppy IPA but had aged and oxidized slightly letting in some off flavors and toning down the better hop aromas and flavors. I think I’d skip over this one on most occasions.

Pours a pale, cloudy golden brown with a small off white head. Aroma is hoppy, and the taste is citrusy, pine like hops as well but not as strong as most IPA’s. Definitely not the best IPA I have had but it isn’t bad.

Poured from the 12oz bottle amber in color with an off-white head. aroma is of piney hops. Flavor a slight malt with the same piney hops with a bitter hop finish.
