Finally a world class IPA on the east coast. The NY Times was correct in naming this the best IPA in the world. It’s fairly new to the market so I would imagine a lot of folks have not tried it.
Big nose, lace like fine Irish linen, bursting with grapefruiy, citrus, hops, an explosion of flavor in the mouth. The finish? Long, subtle, dances on the tounge. I want more!! I want my Smuttynose!!!

Absolutely one of the best IPA’s I’ve ever had. Great for all seasons. Cloudy dark gold color, armoa that pucnches you in the nose, and a bitter taste from start to finish.

My favorite IPA. A lot of flavor with a lot of hop. A strong IPA for IPA lovers.

As a long standing IPA fan, this may be my new favorite. I got a hold of it at a beerfest at home in Cincinnati, OH and it changed my world. It not only has the classic IPA balance of spice, earth, and hops that an IPA drinker desires, but it may be the most perfectly balanced IPA I’ve had to date. We ordered it for the bar and it is a top seller... The only bad part is we run out before we’re done working... We have it mounted next to the Dogfish 60 Minute as competition (my previous favorite) and it’s outshining.

This is an incredible beer, very balanced yet quite a stong hop flavor. Not overly pine tasting, nor overly cirtus. Great color and fantastic smell to this IPA. Smuttynose is one of the best breweries out there. You must try this.

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2007 I’m sure this IPA is great from the bottle, but it’s absolutely maginificent on tap, about 45 miles from the brewery. A bit chill-hazed, but that’s fine by me. The aroma pales only by comparison to the flavour. Mmmmmmmmm... Chinook.
(Upon research) OK, OK. So Chinook isn’t the only hop that imparts that lovely white-grapefruit citrus note. Mmmmmmmmm... Amarillo.

UPDATED: FEB 7, 2007 One of best, if not the best IPA I have ever had. After visiting the brewery and local brewpubs Smuttynose has been at the top of my list. Great citrus flavor, nice and hoppy!

DAmn near a perfect beer. Delicious hoppiness and very drinkable. I poured into a pint glass and got a very frothy 3 fingered head.

I am a big IPA fan and this is my favorite beer. Yeah, there are more superior brews but for a session beer i’d consider it perfect. Smells super citrus-y, fluffy, gooey head, good lacing,
a bit hazy. Very bitter, all kinds of grapefruit, refreshing, light tasting, clean.

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2009 What a freaking GEM. I could write a book about this beer. But I won’t. Beautiful chunktastic yeastpuff neon gold color with a starched white creamtoast head. The flavor of this beer is one of a brightly citrusy IPA with an even brighter future. When you saw this beer ride its first tricycle you thought "it doesn’t even need the training wheels!, that’s my son god damnit!" I thought that too--I was the creepy guy watching you watch your son ride his bike. I was drunk. On this, because it’s so good! Sprites of parched laundry detergent, and oddly enough it is that unique grapefruit-laundry detergent taste that keeps me buying this beer every summer and winter. Smutty brews have a unique undertone to every beer that shows it’s head the way homebrewer’s who get all their ingredients from the same source will have, and in this beer the Smut is at full sail, and for me, full boner. Your son rides good. I seen him.
