Crisp aroma with a pale amber color and nice frothy head. Good hop with some bite at the end. Overall a quality brew.

Aug 4, 2008 Bottle. Nice hazy copper pour with a frothy off-white head leaving striped lacing. Not picking up on too many hops in the aroma--mostly grainy malt and appleskin esters. Flavor again is way too tame hopwise. Seems British in character as well--basically woody and earthy. Some grainy malts and grass. Would have this pegged as more of an average take on an ESB or EPA. Even though you’re making a British style IPA, just make sure that the hops still show some assertiveness (Brooklyn EIPA or Meantime as an example)

Aug 3, 2008 I would consider this more of a Pale Ale than an IPA. It had a nice citrusy and hoppy smell to it but it didn’t have the kick that most good IPA’s have.

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Aroma is lightly sweet, with honey and spicy hops. Medium body. Flavor has more spicy hops, with a hint of caramel or butterscotch. Nice.

Jul 7, 2008 A really weak IPA. Had more of an amber ale kind of malt taste than the typical bitterness of an IPA. As an amber, this wouldn’t be too bad. For the IPA style this is not good at all. Lightly sweet and malty, but slightly watery. Not offensive tasting, just not good. Tasted like the IPAs that I had in England - very different than american IPAs.
