Oct 18, 2007 Another wondefully hoppy aroma from these guys with a slight bit of caramel it seems. Flavor has a strong hop character, a bitter finish with a little noticeable alcohl, but quite good all around.

Oct 17, 2007 Bottle, courtesy decaturstevo. Pours clear bright coppery amber with a thin, but surprisingly lacy white head. Lots of aroma as soon as I cracked this one: grapefruit, caramel, fruit, flowers, alcohol. Big medium body, bordering on chewy. Lots of sweetness in the taste - so much that it postpones the finish until the layer of sugar clears from my tongue. Citrus-infused caramel taste. Flowers, pine and grapefruit on the exit. Final score: Hop 3, Malt 3. I figured the hops would have pulled out the win on their home court.

Oct 9, 2007 Nice brew. You can tell it’s triple hopped. The aroma of citrus right at opening. Taste is brisk with a citrus bitter finish.

Oct 7, 2007 This really is an exceptionally clean, crisp IPA, with a very clean after taste. Only for real hop lovers, though.
Had this originally at the Buffalo Brewfest in 2007.

Sep 23, 2007 Continuing on the Heavy Seas sampler I purchased....short thin head on a solid burnt orange body...aroma is palpably hoppy, to the point of spruce and pine...the hops heat the tongue...lively, full, chewy body...surprisingly smooth, bitter with a sprinkle of (to me unidentifiable) herbs..."American IPA" indeed--the strenght of the Heavy Seas seems to be in their balance of alcohol and taste; this one works well... one could almost argue this as a winter warmer with its complexity and stoker-like heat...
