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.

Bottle. Good solid IPA, I like that this is starting to show up at more liquor stores. I’m hungover from drinking these, and I remember them as being pretty hoppy with not a lot of taste but still pretty pleasant.

Location: I’ve had this one on tap and out of the bottle quite a few times. I’ve noticed quite a few places in Manhattan where this is the only IPA they have on tap, so if I’m out to dinner or grabbing a drink at one of those places, and I want an IPA, this is the one I get.

Overall Impression: This a pretty decent IPA, it’s just not hoppy or flavorful enough to get much higher of a score then this, but it is a drinkable beer.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Short Pump, VA. Pours a clear light copper color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. Faint aroma of caramel and resiny hops. Taste is very hoppy... citrus, pine, resin. Caramel malts as well. Medium bodied. Decent.
