Commercial Description:
Brewed in the style of West Coast IPA using cascade and centennial hops to give the beer a spicy, floral and citrus aroma. The beer is full bodied to hepl balance the large amount of hops used in the kettle. This style will be around for the winter months only. This will pair nicely with steak, shellfish and pizza.

Probably the best brewpub IPA in New Jersey. Crisp and spicy but not over powering like some can be. A great everyday IPA.

Finally, a beer with flavor from trap rock. Full of hops. Piney. Delicious in many ways.

Clear, nice-coloured golden ale. Excellent, firm white head, fully lasting and leaving massive lacing. Aromatic, slightly yeasty, well aromatic nose. Oranged, earthy, flower petals – well put centennial/cascade blend. Highly supportive bready malts, biscuity, soft and never exaggerating the sweetness. Growing sheets of bitterness follow the dry finish never get extreme. Soft-edged texture. Medium-bodied, soft carbonation, juicy palate. Great IPA.

taster. Golden/Light orange with medium carbonation. Aroma is citrus and pine with a touch of sweet malt. Taste is well balanced, sweet malt with citrus and pine hop bitterness. Liked this one.
