Oct 27, 2008 Bottle, #416 Copper pour with massive head, can’t fit the whole beer in the glass. Piny hop aroma and flavor with some earthyness. Pretty good PA.

Oct 20, 2008 Bottle, sampled at RBSG 08. Pours a clear, orange-amber with a thick, foamy, white head. Sweet hoppy aroma, with a lot of pine and nice malt notes. Taste is bitter, of pine hops. Lingering pine bitterness. Tasty IPA.

Oct 10, 2008 Amber pour. Nose is full of hops and pale malts. The hops are citrusy and a tad fruity. Flavor is really hoppy, more than I expected. This brew is done very well.

Oct 6, 2008 Draft and bottle- oh yeah. This one is so nice, I wish I had more. It has that lovely harvest ale kick to it as some of the hops are grown on premises and used in the beer. This adds a really nice depth and level of flavor. Piney notes also contribute, with a subtle bitterness, and great malt backbone that lingers in the end. Well balanced, and extremely drinkable.

Sep 29, 2008 one of my first reviews from the brewery:
Deep amber pour... head is on the short side, but long lasting - a light, almost sandy white. Lacing sticks the the glass all the way down.
Light, floral hops... could be a little more aromatic and crisp, but the aroma present is a nice one.
Round hop flavours... but very well-balanced all around. Citrus, herbal. Some sweetness in the body. One of the better local IPAs I’ve had the pleasure of tasting.
Beautiful... slippery, but not quite oily. Glides through the mouth, just shy of leaving behind a sticky residue, which makes for an overall smooth drink.
Nice attributes, it’s definitely one to be followed up with more. With a start like this, Blue Mountain could make for one of the finer breweries on the East coast.

Sep 27, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Alraomon. Pours a cloudy amber with a huge 3 finger marshmallow head that leaves spotty delicate lacing. Nose is grassy hops and malt. Taste is much hoppier than the aroma let on. Malt upfront with citrus hops dominating before giving way to a resin hop finish. Medium mouth feel. A very nice, drinkable IPA. Thanks Sean!

Sep 9, 2008 Bottle... RBSG ‘08... Clear, light amber ale with a mid-sized, creamy, white head that lasts forever. Tropical fruit asserts itself in the aroma. Medium-bodied with stale carbonation. Definitely leans on the bitter side of balance. This one really bites back!
