Commercial Description:
A hop lover's delight! In the India pale ale tradition, this brew is very hoppy in both aroma and flavor from the generous amounts of Cascade hops used in brewing. Look for a medium to full body and golden straw color.

Bottle from Saranac Trail Mix variety 6-pack. Pours a clear copper amber color with a ton of lacing along the glass. Piney hop aroma and flavor with a decent amount of malt in the backbone. Nice amount of bitterness in the finish but the aftertaste is a bit short lived. Overall, not a bad IPA.

This IPA poured a clear golden colour with a pretty good, bright white head. Scents include spruce, floral hopps and citrus. Smells like a hoppy one. First swig is smooth and has a mellow hopp bite to it. Very nice. I’m suprized this one isn’t rated higher. Flavours of lemon citrus, juniper and honey are at the forefront. Slight hoppy bitterness until the end.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Clear golden IPA, but this not so intensive bitter as its English-counterparts, but nevertheless an great New York State IPA.

Bottle. Orange color. Oily hoparoma with red berries, slightly perfumed. Firm oily hopbitter flavor with earthy notes, red berries and melon. Long fairly rough earthy bitter aftertaste. Loads of hops just held together by the fruit.

12 oz Bottle -- Pours reddish amber with a foamy white head. Aromas of malt, apples, lemon, and pine hops. Nice spicy back-end but pretty thin on the mid-palate.

Bottle at EsBF09. Mild caramelly hoppiness, quite rough and not so pleasant. Clear amber colour, small white head. The flavour is a lot like the aroma, it has a little caramel, but not much of the grass that one would expect from an American IPA. Quite rough.
