Commercial Description:
While respectfully following the guidelines of this traditional British ale, we added a truly American twist. Using 100% U.S. grown hops throughout the brew, a complex variety of imported and domestic malts, and a truly unique British yeast, the result is a well balanced India Pale Ale. One that exemplifies the classic style, yet brings with it the flavors and aromas of our American hop innovations without forgetting the barley.

Light amber coloured body with a small soapy white head. Aroma of more malt than hops, some nuts and a bit of concord grapes. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavours up front leading into a bit of more hoppiness and a light sweetness that takes over. Aftertaste shows a lot of malt and leaves the palate a bit bittered by the hops, but not overly so. Overall, this beer is definitely more an APA than IPA, but it was still nice to try. Don’t expect too much, but try it if you can get it! I sampled this 12 ounce bottle at the Brickskeller in Washington D.C. on 29 December 2006.

Bottle with Butters at First Cellar Reduction. Poured a cream color head with an over abundance of carbonation. Fruity nose. Flavor is mildly acidic and sour. I enjoyed the flavor and nose but the over carbonation ruined it for me.

Clear golden yellow pour with big white head. Perfumy and floral hop nose. Flavor is nicely floral hop with some crystal malt to balance but not very well. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Medium sized offwhite head, good retention and some scattered lace. Lightly hazy, copper hued ale. Nose is decent with a light spiceyness, light citrus and pine. Body is medium, lightly oily with a soft carbonation. Lightly sweet malts up front with a gentle hop backing, lightly fruity, citrus and some grassiness. Dry, lightly fruity finish. The best beer i had down south, limited hunting time also.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a brilliant clear gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through the first third of the glass and left partial lace. Pleasant but mild aroma of malt and pine. The pine is more evident in the flavor than the aroma suggests with moderate bitterness at the finish. Another somewhat restrained east coast IPA.

Nice honey-colored pour with a quarter-inch white head. Citrusy hop nose. A little sharp in the flavor department at first, but the malt character comes out as it warms and balances the hop spiciness. A pleasant beer, but not overly earth shattering.

Grapefruit, yeast, chestnut, and walnut nose. Dingy orange color, floaties, no head. Flavor is grapefruit, pine needle, and caramel malt. Grapefruit zest on the palate. Mildly refreshing, full of flavor.
