UPDATED: FEB 10, 2008 Draft at Coles. Orange/amber body, nice white head, citrus nose. Lots of citrus in the body with a good, firm bracing bitterness and a solid malt backbone. Really nice.

Nice amber color. Light hoppy nose. Meidum hoppy taste - also some malt in the taste. Not much carbonation. Thin body.

Had it on tap at the Gate in Brooklyn. Pours a pale amber-brown with a nice head. Aroma is pretty violent bitter hops... a bit much for me. The flavor has tons of bitter hops up front, but the finish is pretty boring. If the body was fuller, this would be a nice IPA, but I won’t be bothering with this one again.
*Note: I’m not a huge fan of bitter hops

Draft at the Blind Tiger. Amber pour with some white head. Aroma of citrus / grapefruit, a little grassiness, and caramel malt. These all blend well together in the flavor, which is well balanced between the citrus hops and caramel malt. Good mouthfeel and body. A good session beer.

The first pint was handed to me with a bubbly 2" head on it with a golden orange coloring below. The robust smell of grapefruit and hops reminded me of the Blue Point Cask festival’s No Hopologies. The taste was very smooth and full of a deepness of malts that made going for round two so easy. The citrus snap in the aftertaste reminded me of the ale’s history.
I drank this as a perfect compliment to a dinner of sausages and mashed potatoes.

Growler filled @ Bellport Beverage. Poured a hazy amber color with an off-white head. Great hop forward aroma. Big notes of citrusy and orange hops. Some pine as well. Good malty base. The flavor was malt front with some hop flavor and a moderate bittnerss on the finish. Very nice beer.

Draft@ Rocky Sullivan’s in Red Hook Brooklyn the bar next door to Sixpoints. Pours dark copper with a 1 and a half finger creamy tan head. The nose has some very faint hops there as well. Taste is creamy sweet and little hops and a little bitter. Its creamy drinkable and it was poured warm, likely first IPA of the day in early afternoon, still tasted great and really damn drinkable.

UPDATED: JUL 12, 2007 Tap at Barcade: Pours a nice cloudy copper color with a dense tan head. Sweet hop aroma with an English character. The body is nice and creamy with a perfect malt back to hold the hops up without being sweet. Has a light toasty caramel malt character.Has a slight earthy malt character, almost nutty. Fresh lemon hop flavors jump out at you followed by a piny, spicy long dry finish. A very solid and enjoyable IPA.
