Aug 17, 2008 Draft. Pours bright golden with white fluffy head. Big grapefruit aroma. Taste of pale malt overcome by the generous hop additions. Surprisingly, not much of a bitterness bite, just big hop flavor. Body light, very easy drinking.

Aug 16, 2008 2008 Flour City Brew fest. I’m not a big IPA fan, but I liked this one. A fruity aroma was noticeable. Enjoyable fruit flavor with a light hoppy ending.

Aug 15, 2008 Pours gold with a generous white head. Smells of pine, pepper, some floral hints. Tastes dry and grassy with some nice spicy hints. Well balanced and enjoyable.

Aug 14, 2008 Pours a slight hazy golden straw color from 12 oz bottle, forming good size bubbley foam. Aroma of light floral hops, with a bit of citrus. Flavour of bitter malts dominate. Kinda got that English IPA thing going. OK beer, but not really an American style IPA, I think.

Aug 11, 2008 On tap at the brewery on in Patchogue. I dont think this beer lives up to its reputation as being the flagship brew. Pours a copper color, very hoppy as the name suggets with a floral and citrusy aroma. However taste was absent and the bitterness didnt have anything to balance it out. Very one dimensional beer. Not bad but I was expecting more.

Aug 11, 2008 355 mL bottle, marked as 6.8%. (bb Oct ’08). Copper with a small light beige head. Nice lacing. Strong aroma of C-hops, with some berries and caramel underneath. Nicely balanced flavour, with pine and citrus from the hops, and a thinnish sweetness from the malt. The bitterness is not as overpowering as some American IPAs; some may say it is not overwhelming enough. Body and carbonation seem about right. Good, but nothing to make this one stand out in a crowd.

Aug 6, 2008 Bottle thanks to goldtwins. Clear light amber with a tight thead. Nice sweet malt and piney hop aromas. Smooth, medium body. Decent grainy, lightly sweet bready pale malt flavor with a tasty piney hop bitterness to finish. Nice ipa

Aug 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy tpd975. Pours a nice golden sheen, with frothy filmy white head and fizzy lacing. Mango aromas, other notes of citrus and a nice herbal floral touch. Some vanilla, too. Flavor has plenty of malts to counteract with the hops, which are fairly mellow here. Again vanilla makes an appearance. Medium-bodied, nice full set of flavors, sweet but not cloying.
