Wow, tons of tropical fruit in the aroma. Even more pronounced without the distinct hop aroma to hide it. The appearance is very nice - same color, but with a fluffier head than the regular IPA. The flavor Is solid, with a decent amount of hops up front, fading into a very sweet tropical fruit smoothy sort of flavor. The palate is perhaps a bit thicker and oilier than the regular IPA, and is a bit lacking in carbonation. Overall more fruit, less hops, and slight worse than the standard Town Hall IPA, but still an excellent beer.

I’ve wanted to try this for years and I was not let down in the least. This beer singlehandedly prevented me from sampling the array of delights that Town Hall undoubtedly had to offer. It was too damn good for me order anything else despite three straight nights visiting the brewery. It pours rich and a cloudy, a soupy golden brown, a lovely soft head emitting an aroma of peach, grapefruit, passionfruit (?) that just makes one long to dive in rather than analyze. Splendid flavor, not overbearing with hop-bitterness in least and yet utterly driven by delicious hops. Malts totally in the background but apparently substantial enough to back this marvel up. Some gin in the flavor as well as all of that fruit. What can I say? It was a beer-hunting delight. Spendid beer.

Jun 27, 2007 RBSG 2007 I suppose it is a great hoppy example, but I dont like hoppies so much. Still wondering why we rate this differently than its masla mama version. Cast version is somewhat oilier though.

Mar 29, 2007 Golden orangey ale, with dark hues and a thin creamy off white head. Nice chops in aroma, subdued and pleasant. In mouth, a light bodied IPA with enough hops to keep you interested. Nice and quaffable.
