regular on tap at Fatty’s in Wyndmoor

Ok, at first I really dissed this beer. I’m surprised I hadn’t rated it already. But, over the last year, it’s come to grow on me a bit. This is a golden pale IPA - not like your big bodied, copper red IPAs from other CA breweries. It’s got a sharp, crisp hop bite, decent, clean fresh aroma (at least on tap), and is overall a nice, refreshing IPA. It certainly doesn’t lack in hop flavor. An excellent summer IPA.

I had this on tap at Kclingers in Hanover, PA and I must say it is one of the better IPA that I have had. It has a nice hop flavor without the bitter aftertaste.

Special thanks to my buddy Costello for sharing this one. Pours cloudy golden with amber hue. Thin white head. Aroma of hops and citrus. Taste is nice balance between hops, citrus, grass... Dry finish. Light body.

Awesome SF IPA that I never tried before - which is strange. Pours a pale gold with thin, white foam. Flavor is all floral hops - but a huge dose of florals. Very dry finish.

This beer was great. Clean finish. Huge hop flavors. Golden color when poured that leaves a decent head.

Slightly cloudy golden pour with a thin white head. Aroma of piney, fruity hops. Good flavor of citrusy, piney hops, there’s also a mild malt presence. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and soft carbonation.
