Commercial Description:
At the request of you hopheads, we produced this I.P.A. with a deep golden color, plenty of hop bitterness balanced by malt sweetness. Because of the extensive dry hopping, there’s a floral and citrus hop finish. It’s then lightly filtered to maintain the appropriate body and flavor. The beer features a combination of American, English and German malts to balance the large amount of hops. The HopFish also uses three hop varieties at five different times and has been dry-hopped for two weeks with 22lbs of Nugget whole leaf hops.

One of my favorite from a local brewery. Its an excellent Pale Ale. I was skeptical at first, but I finished the 6 pack and really enjoyed it. Nice Hoppy texture, pours well, happily surprised by the flavoring

Nice piney aroma. Not too bitter. Slightly sweet. Goes down fast and smooth. I’ve had 3 in about 15 minutes. Another good one from Flying Fish.

Bottle. Clear amber-orange color with a medium head. Fair lacing. Aroma of grass, citrus and earth hops, with a little caramel sweetness. Taste is a little apricot and a fair amount of bitterness. Light to medium body. Thin texture. Bitter finish I remember this being much better on tap.

12oz bottle (thanks to the epeeist) poured a clear copper color with a small off white head. Aroma was mild citrus with a big rich maltiness. Taste was pritty well balanced with not too strong of a bitterness or hop flavor. More of a malt dominated IPA that has a good hopping in the background.

This was a nice IPA. I could see myself drinking this in the summer while doing some fishing. Perfect beer for warmer months.

Bottle, from trade with AxlLives. Ok aroma, Sweet & sharp. Grassy & hay mainly with a distinct (how to describe) Papery, seltzer thing. Little minty. Some citrus, orange & lemon if you dig for it. Tad hazed brownish orange color, Massive head. 1st pour was 3/4 foam and tokk 2 more pours over 10 minutes to empty the bottle. Bitter sour flavor. Grassy, grapefruit, that thing I call paper/seltzer. Caramel/toffee. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Alright, but don’t know if that was a signature scent or if it was infected. Seemed to have a stale grain thing about it.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma is all grassy hops, and a little grapefruit and spices. Scent was rather faint. Poured amber in color with a big, off-white head that lasted some. Clear & lightly sparkling. Flavor is hop dominated with sweeter malts in the middle and finish. Starts out with piney hops and then goes to sweeter caramel malts. Moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body. Lively carbonation. Sweet malty finish. A very average IPA that may best be called and APA. Strong hop presence, but not bitter.

12 oz bottle @ Coles Buffalo, NY. Nice looking IPA. Golden orange color with medium hop aroma. Not over powering with the hops but decent
