Jul 12, 2009 Growler pours an off-white head with lace and a clear golden body. Aromas of citrus and floral hops. Little wheat maybe? Flavor is citrus and floral hops, wheat, rye, yeast, little funky. Finish is a little bitter.

May 30, 2009 Growler from Justin at the brewery. Thanks man! Pours a clear dark amber with miniscule near clear head. Nose is lightly citrus and floral, kinda like rose petals or lavender but is primarily malt dominated. Flavor introduces the mild hop bitterness. Definitely English in nature. I’d almost say this is overly balanced. If you’re looking for nice mild brown with a little bit of hop profile, this fits the bill.

May 30, 2009 I can pretty much 2nd everything that Curly just said. I’ve tried this beer twice compliments of the generosity of Blackstone. Very pleasant English style IPA. There were some petroleum, resiny riesling like notes on the first try that seemed to be gone by the time I tried the 2nd growler. They were very pleasant though. In general, a very solid beer. Finesse in style not a bruiser. Great effort from Blackstone.

May 21, 2009 Updated: May 29, 2009What an honor to enter a beer and be the first to rate it. This beer was just brewed and put into kegs. We received a growler compliments of Blackstone. The pour is a clear copper with a white head that fades. Aroma is subtle citrus, such as lemon, orange, and lime, and caramel with floral notes as well. Taste is good, it doesn’t have all those sweet hop notes like many of the IPA’s coming out now. This is definitely a more traditional English-style brew. Pine and orange are most notable with sweet floral. Not an overpowering bitter finish but it is present.
