6-pack with Chipman during the blizzard of 08’. Nice amber pour with a cirus and pine nose. This guy is all hops and balanced well. Great deal at the price point. I am not an IPA guy but i would get this the next time friends come round.

Pours a clear amber, slightly small head. Nice citrus pine aroma, sweet caramel malt. A bit of fruit at the end also. Nice balanced flavor.

12 ozer from a mixed sampler. Poured a slightly hazy gold color with a one finger white head. Aroma was caramel malt and piney hops. Lacing was minimal. Flavor was more of the earthy hop, though not too overpower. Body was somewhat light for an IPA these days. Very refreshing. I really was impressed with this beer.

on tap - pours an orange amber with a medium white head. aroma - caramel malt, citrus, and spice. flavor - very citrusy and blends very well with the floral hop profile. it is very florally hopped and the finish lingers on and on. slight bitterness at the end, but there is no definitive bitter, bitey finish. very nice slighty chewy mouthfeel. very easy drinking ipa, but very respectable none-the less. loveeeee this beer!

On tap. Pours a bright, clear golden amber with a three-finger rocky white head that lingers for the duration of the session leaving sheets of lacing along the way. Smell is very light with citrus hops dominating, mainly grapefruit and lemon zest. Flavor is heavy on citrus as well with mostly tropical fruits and with little hop bitterness. There is a bready malt base as well. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied but creamy and with less bitterness than I was expecting. This is an extremely drinkable IPA and one that I could drink all night long.

The pour was a palish copper color with an off-white, semi sticky head that produced pretty good lacing. The aroma was tart citrus, light pine and some softer floral, herbal aromas. Some sweet malt snuck in too. The flavor was in your face with the citrus and floral flavors with the malt not quite able to keep pace. Pretty easy drinking with a tight, dry finish. A good IPA.

An excellent IPA. Pours oragney-copper with a huge, long lasting beige head. Very floral and citrusy aroma. I am truly enjoying this beer. Great for summer BBQs. Not as filling (too me a good thing!) as many Imperial IPAs, but the 7.25% ABV will sneak up on you!

12 oz bottle. This pours a lighter orange/amber color, that doesn’t at all reflect the flavor, which is full and hoppy. Probably one of the better IPAs that I’ve had in a while. Great job Clipper City! Cheers!
