Hazy orange colour. Good bitter hops aroma and flavour. A bit of citrus, slightly on the sweet side, medium-bodied. Good finish. A very drinkable and somehow smooth IPA. My beer bottle had a red label and an alcohol content of 5.50%.

Hazy amber color, poor head. Strange aroma, of bread. Some malt, sharp bitter character. Not impressive.

Sweet mellow hoppy aroma. The flavor is mostly citrus with some moderate bitterness. The hops seem to lack their normal floral attributes. This beer is pretty drinkable but doesn't really adhere to style.

Very different hop profile than I was expecting. An unusual taste for the style and not as bitter in the right way as I would have liked. Fruity and dry in the finish. Tastes like a grapefruit gone bad. Not enjoyable.

I liked it, but it was a little overwhelming on the citrus. Not something I would buy again.

one of the lighter pale ales ive tasted recently. good to drink on occasion but not often

Never had any respect for american beer. (In Denmark it’s Bud or Miller MGD). Sam Adams IPA is clearly better than these two. It has a ceralic flavor and aroma that’s new to me. I like it, but it’s a bit to dry.

First India Pale Ale I have had, not on I would get ona regular basic but good for a change.

Decent citrus nose, quite light body and dry finish. It isn’t a bad beer for a nice warm day.

Bright amber color with gold highlights. the body is topped with a medium thick head that leaves plenty of lasting lace. Sweet yet bitter and slightly fruity aroma with a hint of flowery hops. Slightly sweet and bitter hop flavor with a slight malt background and a hoppy finish. light to medium bodied, bitter and slightly dry.
