Jul 14, 2008 Bottle courtesy of funknmilla. Thanks! Pours copper with a nice rocky white head. Smells of citrus, spice, dry malt, some earthy hints. Tastes citrussy and dry with some nice doughy hints. Very enjoyable.

Jul 6, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours orange/copper color with nice white head. Hop aroma is moderate with floral and pine notes. This is a lighter IPA in terms of bitterness, but it does have strong hop flavors mostly pine. Finishes fairly dry. A nice IPA.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Juart. Probably a little bit longer than I should let an IPA sit in my basement, but it poured with a huge amount of carbonation. 3 finger cream colored frothy head. Good retention and a ton of lacing. A golden amber color with a slight chill haze. The aroma has a lot of sweet sticky citrus hop, but also a creamy caramel smell. Almost like a caramel sundae. The flavor doesn’t have as much of the bright hops as I expected. Very grassy and earthy with a little bit of floral note. A bit of a metallic flavor, but that might be from the age of the bottle. A decent brown sugar sweetness to it. The finish on it is surprisingly dry. It has a nice warming alcohol feeling left in the mouth to accompany the bitterness. Not anything great, but pretty solid.

Jun 18, 2008 Mostly clear, deep golden with a thick and fizzy white head. Spicy citrus and hay with a distinct malt back in the nose. Mild (for an IPA) bitterness, and understated malt flavor -- I expected more after the aromas. Still, nice sweet malt with touches of honey and glaze under some woodsy-tang hops. Finishes long with a crisp, dry bitterness showing through.

Jun 14, 2008 Copper color with a white head. Aroma of hops, floral-mild. Taste of spice, hops, malts, and citrus. Well-balance. Not much bite for an IPA.

Jun 13, 2008 This is a nice beer, but doesn’t taste anything like an IPA. The aroma is flowery hops mixed with caramel malt and the flavor profile seriously leans more towards malty. There’s a slight hop presence, but no real bitterness to be found.........and the copper coloring, beautiful tanish-white head, and malty flavor make this a great ESB. Better than Flying Fish’s own Amber/ESB. I’d buy this again, but it’s certainly no IPA.

Jun 9, 2008 Amber colour nice little head. malty and slightly hoppy. Not the overly strong hop taste some ipas bring. I like the ever-present malt flavor that stays in you mouth. It may not appeal to the IPA purist,but I like this malty take on the IPA.
