Nice amber color with plenty of lace. Lots of malt flavor with hop aftertaste. This is a strong flavored beer. Bottom line...I liked it, but it was a little to strong and hoppy for my palate.

Quite pleasant and widely available. Pretty typical fruity, hoppy aromas. A bit watery and not enough hop bite to make this special.

Some malt and mild spice in the nose, amber body, medium head receding quickly to a millimeter or three. Pretty decent flavors, bitter hoppy finish. Not a bad brew.

Fruity aroma is inviting. The appearance is amber with a thick and slowly diminishing head. The nose is watery and slightly sweet with hops flavor on the finish. Excellent balance!! It is a light for an IPA, but I enjoy the fruity nature and light nose; it makes for an easily drinkable beer that is very satisfying from both a texture standpoint and a taste standpoint.

Draft @ Flying Dog: Hazy orange-amber color with an off-white head. Big hoppy aroma with citrus and piney notes. Some sweet malt shows through underneath. Citrusy and piney flavor with enough malt to back it up. Not too bad. Tasted pretty fresh on the hop side.

The bottle said 4.7 per cent not 5.75. i always thought that IPA’s had a very high rate of hoppiness. This one like a few others I have tried lately was dominated by a floral flavour rather than hops. Although it was pleasantly drinkable I couldn’t help thinking that the people in the days of the British Empire who originally drank IPA just wouldn’t recognise this.Having said that it was still a reasonably pleasant drink.

Nice hoppy nose, Great head and lace. Chill haze. Nice bitterness upfront. Good malt foundation. Long piney/fruity finish. Well balanced.

Rerate: Pale copper well carbonated, tight head. FLoral citrus aroma. Crisp when cold. Fresh. Pretty good IPA. I didn’t realize those were Golding hops I was tasting. Light maltiness and decent hoppiness makes this beer easy to finish.
