(On tap in Hamden, called "Sleeping Giant IPA") Interesting. Somewhat rich and creamy. A bit toasty, malty. Nice body. Unique. But not even remotely resembling an IPA; way too weak, not enough hops, not enough bitterness. A drinkable beer, but very misnamed.

Aug 11, 2008 On tap at the Southport location. It certainly has a more grainy aroma then hoppy but the hops are there. The hops were more in the taste then in the aroma. It was smooth but had little for a full bodied flavor. Drinkable.

Jul 7, 2008 Growley RI - Lacey head. Aroma was not obnoxiously hoppy but the hops did dominate. Seems like for hops were used for flavor and bittering than in the nose which let the malt come through a bit more.

Jul 5, 2008 Updated: Aug 11, 2008Rerate, much better this time with a fresh pur than a week old growler.
Draught. Copper pour with a tiny white head. Mild hoppy aroma with a hint of pine. Peppery hops present with flowery hops. Nice sharp finish.

Jan 8, 2007 Caramel color, caramel aroma. Sweet and hoppy flavor, some citrus. Smooth medium body drink that seemed to be a little thin at times.
