Hoppy aroma, with a moderate off-white head. Creamy and hoppy flavor and it’s very smooth. Nice stuff.

golden pour, fizzy offwhite head quickly disappears. aroma is light citrus hop. nice medium mouthfeel, citrus hops and a bit of sweet malt, a bit bitter in the finish.. basically your typical ipa, nothing extraordinary going on here. however, that being said, this is well made and refreshing. a nice ipa

Bottle. Light amber with a nice, fluffy head. Light citrus, mainly grapefruit in the nose. Light flavor (at first). Gets a bit heavier with nice, not strong hops. Not great, but worth drinking.

GREAT NAME FOR THIS NICE GOLDEN CLEAR ALE WITH LITTLE TO NO HEAD. NEARLY ODORLESS AND LITTLE HOPPY FLAVOR TASTES LIKE A LIGHT VERSION OF STONE OR DOGFISH IPA NOT MUCH GOING ON BUT STILL QUITE REFRESHING I COULD THROW DOWN A FEW OF THESE ANY DAY ITS EONS BEYOND A MACROBREW BUT NOT A TOP NOTCH MICRO BREWED IPA.

Tap @ Monster B’s. This beer stands out to me compared to other IPAs because of its creamy texture. There is also a sweet cherry note with the aroma. Quite wet palate for an IPA. Rather original for an IPA.

Draft in Portsmouth, NH. Amber with a lasting quarter inch of creamy foam. Aroma of caramel malt and citrus. Front of big caramel malt is nicely dried by resin and grapefruit finish. Near-medium body is smooth and well-dried on the end.
