Nice golden brown color. Aroma is of hops, hops, and more hops! Taste is of big time hops. Has a nice hoppy bite with a little citrus aftertaste. Good stuff.

(12 ounce bottle - pint glass) Pours a hazy yellow liquid that leads to an average size head that dissipates slowly. Aroma was hoppy and skunky. Taste was citrus grass and spruce hops. Lively carbonation and medium to thick body. Really a good beer but has imperfections.

Pours golden with a thick white head. Tastes like pinecone, citrus, floral, some malt sweetness. Got this very fresh, one of the best IPAs I’ve tried from the east coast.

12oz bottle from Grillsmith restaurant (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy golden to caramel color with one finger white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of citrus, carmel, pine, grapefruit, floral esters, hints of spice. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of floral hops, grapefruit, honey, caramel, citrus, pine. Light to medium body with a pleasing floral hop finish.

Had a few of these on Thanksgiving Day out of a Heavy Seas variety pack. Pours a light copper color with a decent amount of carbonation and a small white head that leaves nice lacing on the side of your glass. The aroma was pleasant but fairly bland. It consisted of fresh hops, some light citrus, and light caramel malt. The taste also consisted of fresh hops, light citrus, and a hint of pine. This had a light mouth feel and was very easy to drink. Overall a very good IPA but nothing out of the ordinary.

Draught at Pony Bar, New York
Blond color. Nice aroma of citrusy hops. The body is quite round, toffee flavor, and good hops, citrusy and also a bit resiny. Strong final, resiny, leaner than the alcohol content would suggest. Good hop Ale.

bottle thanks to Treborwhip, pours amber to deep gold with a medium white head. Aroma is full of citrus hop notes and some bready malts. Sweet carmel malt and nuts in the vein of almonds shines with some pleasant grapefruity hop character in a dry finish. This is the definition of drinkable. I could throw these back all night.

Cask @ redlight redlight. Pours gold with a bit of head. Low carbonation from being cask, seems a little thinner than it would have otherwise. Big fresh hop nose with lots of mandarin oranges, citrus, slightly floral, sweet chlorophyll, with some sweet malt showing through. Flavor is sweet, orange-like hops with a nice firm bitterness. So fresh. Glad to be getting fresh Clipper City brews here more regularly.
