Draft. Nose-medium PNW hops. Taste-well done malt backbone backed up by good spicy hops. An excellent use of hops to balance out a moderatly agressive sweet malt backbone.

A quite nice IPA. its gives off a dry yet hoppy aroma and flavor. the bitter is more of straight bitter than a citrus bitter than what I normally used too. Look and feel great.

bottle Amber colour, fine head. Fruity apricot and hop aroma. Somewhat fruity flavour with notes of salty liquorice and LOADS of bitter hops.

average head, nice clear body. heavy hop aroma, a bit of raisin, bubble gum, oak, plum and pineapple in the nose. Flavor is nice, cherries and a bit of sour fruit. Nice for a chance of pace.

12 ounce bottle from matta. This is a decidedly English version of the style. Pours a very clear light amber with a dirty white resinous head. The aroma is quite earthy, with background caramel notes fighting their way to be noticed. Toasty malt flavors. Big time btterness. Long dry finish. Good and full bodied. Leaves the mouth slick after each drink.

Pours a nice, clear amber with a big, off-white head. The aroma is fairly light, some caramel, pine and grass. The flavor is not lacking however, rich caramel, piney, some citrus. Full-bodied, long bitter finish.

12oz. bottle. Pours a clear deep amber color, touches of red. Barely, just by a thread, a whitish head forms and quickly fades down to a bare ring and some residual foam islands on top of the beer. Fair lacing. Aroma is lightly floral intertwined with some malt sweetness, really this is a rather ho-hum IPA in aroma. Medium bodied, average carbonation level. Flavors make up where the aroma lacks. Pleasantly bitter without overwhelming. Balance is well presented in flavor with a touch of sweet malt playing for a second or so. Well made, if not amazing.
