Cape Ann Fishermans Greenhorn Double IPA

Brewed by Cape Ann Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Gloucester, Massachusetts USA

On tap @ GIBF, great great DIPA from a brewer that needs to step up. This needs to be their flagship beer. great citrus and pine taste but not overbearing, good alcohol content for a DIPA but is very smooth, great job.

Draught at Max’s: Aroma of hops, pine, grass, and grapefruit. Poured orange/copper/amber in color with a small, dense, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Light to medium sweet flavor. Tastes of hops, fruit, tropical fruit, light alcohol, flowers, slight pine, and a hint of medicine. Light to medium body. Thin texture. Soft to average carbonation. Sweet, fruity, hoppy finish is dull

I grabbed a growler of this the other day and cracked it four day’s later. Poured into a Weizen glass it had a minimal white head that settled to a sparse lace. The body of the brew was a clear copper in color with some red hints to it. The aroma of hopes is very present I could tell there was some simcoe in it. Nice and floral very pleasant in the nose department. Flavor wise this is a very well balanced brew. There is enough hops bitter to know it is an IPA but with enough malt sweetness to make it easy to drink and at 9% it maybe dangerous. The brew had a medium feel in the mouth a little syrupy with the lack of carbonation. I will say that maybe it is the growler the sample I had on tap was more carbonated. This is a good brew from a little underrated brewery. I will defiantly head back to pick up a few more of their offerings

(Draught) Pours a lightly hazy amber body with a small white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, herbs, pine, and caramel. Flavor of hops (herbal, pine, citrus) with a malty backbone (toasted, caramel).

Draft at Barcade. Gold with a small head. Aroma is pineapple and orange zest. Flavor is more on the hoppy side then the malty side with caramel and honey. There’s a little alcohol bump in there as well.

I finallu got to try this after missing it on tap three times. Oh yeah, tap @ Barcade. Poured a slightly hazed copper with a small off-white head. Citrus hop forward with some a fruity malt base. Some pine. The flavor is cirtusy with some foral and pine notes. The sweetness fades leaving a long bitterness. Good warmth with little alcohol taste. Medium bodied and very nice.

Thanks to JoeMcPhee for sharing this with me at Barcade. Color is clear orange with a small head. Aroma is all hoppy; sweet and green with faint cat pee. Taste is a bit sticky sweet from the hops and some other cheap sugars. Bitterness is hidden by the sweetness but too much of a trade off. Thick and sticky mouthfeel as well.
Pint pour @ Barcade.

Tap at Barcade. Deep amber-gold colour, thin white head. Aroma is very sweet and honeyish. A bit of sweet overripe fruit, berries and orange citrus. Moderate bitterness and so sweet that it’s really hard to get through. Chewy and lightly herbal/spicy... some light amarillo cattiness and light tropical fruit, but the sweetness really kills this for me.
