Brewed by Matt Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Utica, New York USA

Clear pale body with a small white head. lightly hoppy nose with flowers, citrus and dough. The flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter with honey, citrus and cotton candy. Medium body is thin with moderate carbonation.

light amber color with little head...nice fresh hops aroma of citrus, but an underlying sour/funky smell....first hit is of bitter pine ...then a mellow watery finish....not horrible but I’m not going back to it

Pours a golden yellow with minmal lacing and a thin white head. Smell is very weak but does smell of hops. Flavor is also very subtle, more of a pale ale than an india pale ale although they are english hops. Very smooth with little to now aftertaste. Would be a nice session beer for someone new to the pale ale/ipa style.

copper with thin white head. Citrus and honey aroma/taste - but weak flavor all-around. A below-average IPA

This was new IPA that I saw at the Total Wine. It was not special. It was thin with not much body. There are citrus flavors and some bitterness. The IPA poured to a clear golden color with a small head. My second bottle was much better. It was like an APA. The bitterness is mild and the initial aroma was of grapefruit. I upgraded my evaluation.

Pours a clear golden amber with a soapy 2 finger head that dies quick to a small amount of lacing. Smell is very unusual to me. Very floral hops, a small amount of citrus and maybe some strawberry. Smells exactly like a handful of potpourri. Taste baffles me just as much for an IPA. Grassy, floral, again the potpourri. Medium in the mouth. Balanced. Good carbonation. Decent drinkability I suppose. Im very confused at the moment, this does stretch the IPA boundaries but I dont think I will come back to it.

Bottle. Deep orange copper in color with no head. Musty hoppy caramel aroma. Sweet honey malty flavor. Citrusy notes. Hoppy orange and grapefruit flavor. Ok.

Bottle. Pours a coppery orange with hardly any head. Aroma is musty hops and some caramel. The taste is honey and lime with a citric, hop bite. The only good flavor in this is the grapefruit. Poor bee otherwise though.
