COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Smuttynose IPA is a physical salute to the glory of the American hop grower. The citrusy hop flavor coming from a mixture of Simcoe and Santiams is pleasantly balanced by a smooth bitterness from the Amarillo hops. The beer itself is light bodied and crisp with a golden color that will throw a slight haze, as we bottle it unfiltered. At 65 IBU’s, this is definitely not a training-wheels IPA, but is meant for hop lovers looking to satisfy their craving in a way that’s not easy to find. We think they’ll be quite pleased.

downender (4186) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - MAR 26, 2011
Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Amber with a slight white head and moderate carbonation. Hoppy, citrus and pine aroma with some apricot jam and doughy malts. Full, prickly mouth feel with a solid malt back bone, juicy hops and a dry finish with a touch of spruce. Very good.

DiarmaidBHK (1392) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 23, 2011
Nice big hop aroma. Pours from the bottle with a nice head that slowly dissipates. The hops are prominent of course and they linger long after you swallow.

MoritzF (7137) - Bochum, GERMANY - MAR 23, 2011
(bottle, 35.5cl) Hazy, amber colour with a light-beige and short foamy head. Slightly bready caramel-malty aroma with herbal and spicy hops. Bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a dry and moderately carbonated mouthfeel. Cara-malty taste with a good dash of noble hops, which are herbal, spicy and delicately fruity; dry and bitter finish with a lasting hopy aftertaste. Solid brew. 23.III.11

Boliv (964) - New York, USA - MAR 20, 2011
Growler. Pours clear orange and copper with a small, creamy beige head. Aromas of sweet and bitter pine, and sweet bready malt. The flavor is bitter pine, citrus rind, sweet bread, and caramel. A little alcohol present in an otherwise bitter piney aftertaste. Smooth, with medium carbonation and body. Good stuff. [639]

evergreen0199 (872) - Northwood, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 13, 2011
On tap at Deep Ellum, Boston, Mass last October. An amber coloured pour with a smallish white head on top. Good hoppy, citrus fruit aroma. Tastes hoppy, crisp, slightly sweet/bitter. Good balanced American IPA, I could session on this.

This poured a nice amber color and had a strong scent of hops. It had a rather strong bitter taste, but was not over powering.

jesperhammer (1294) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAR 10, 2011
11-FEB-2011, bottle @home, with Ulkløbben, from "Fish & Beer". Served blind with Brewdog Punk IPA, and there is no contest at all. This is far better. Orange only slightly hazy with low white head. Nice bitterness, none of that "unky" stuff that Punk had. Nice slightly sweet and flowery with a fine malt base.

BrewBoxer (775) - Brooklyn, USA - MAR 8, 2011
Draft. Deep brown orange color, smells or citrus, hops and bread. Taste is not overly hoppy but has a bite at the end. Not bad. Very drinkable. Id have it again
