Bottle into a goblet. Pour is a dark ruby copper with a nice creamy head that laces out slowly. Aroma is all ipa, hops. Taste is a nice bitter hop with a lite malt undertone. Finish is a bitter wash. This is a good ipa.

Bottle. Pure amber, relatively still, little head. Drinks with a nice snap up front. As it settles and warms, it mellows. Has an odd lagery component that my weak palate fails to characterize. Overall, an enjoyable quaff. (#4942, 2/14/2013)
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20 Dacrza (335) - Great Meadows, New Jersey, USA - JAN 9, 2013
Glassware: Yuengling pint; Occasion: O’s?Yanks four-game seriees opens...Appearance: nicely effervescent copper body holds a generous, cloudy two-finger white head that laces quite nicely...Aroma: bright, punchy fragrance--alluring boquet...Palate: thin for an IPA, and fizzy and oily enough to sully the experience....Taste: mildly present; the taste is fleeting and not the spicy, hoppy mix that the label--or the scent--promised!...Overall: lacing nicely at its end, this beer’s promise of a complex, interesting IPA fizzes into a watered-down, albeit comfortable, brew...would not seek it out for an evening....
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 Drjohnrock (288) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JAN 4, 2013
12 ounce bottle from Saranac 12 Beers Of Summer variety pack purchased at Sams Club, tasted on August 11, 2012. Medium gold/amber hue, medium white head, moderate bittersweet aroma with rye definitely present with citrus and pine as well, moderate to strong with some peppery taste, rye malt a good foil for the hops. Unlike Saranac’s unwisely named Session IPA, I could see drinking this at a session. Beer drinkers pick their own session brews, Matt.

A pretty run of the mill IPA with a bit of a rye bite. It’s okay, but nothing special. Very drinkable.
