Commercial Description:
An American style India Pale Ale. If you like hops you’ll like this beer. Large amount of American hops give this ale a great citrus hop profile and large amounts of Vienna malt were used to create balance.

"Port CIty IPA" pours a dirty straw color with a tiny head. The appearance saddens me, but then the other characteristics more than make up for it. Intense aromas of piney grapefruity hops. Subtle grassiness. Quite enjoyable; I could smell this for hours on end. Smooth IPA with pine-drizzled grapefruit; dry-hopped I would bet with all the hops lingering on the palate. Ample bitterness. An excellent drinker. If need be, I would drive the 4 hours to Wilmington just for this beer.

Vacation 8-05. Golden color, lasting white head. Nice floral hop nose, very smooth and full on the palate with a refreshingly bitter finish that lingers.

Sparkling clear, light golden ale. Small creamy white head. Neat lacework. The nose is of black pepper and grapefruit. Very malty flavor up front and then... grapefruit, grapefruit, grapefruit. Me likes! Full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, sweet 'n' tart finish with a ton of hop bitterness thrown in to help the beer go out with a Bang!

Draft – Golden amber, creamy white head. Soft pine and citric aromas warm to a touch of florals. Bitter spicy citric-pine tones ride underlying fruity flavors throughout. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bitter finish. Decent hop fix, but very one-dimensional…

Pours light brown color with foamy whitish film. Aroma lots of citrus hops. Flavor very nice malt-hop balance with medium mouthfeel. Bit piney and citric bitterness. Overall a good ipa.

Growler courtesy of kp sampled on 1/4/07: Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin wispy white head. Fresh grapefruity hoppy aroma has a touch of sweet grainy malt. Body starts with a nice caramel malty sweetness balanced with a refreshing grapefruity hoppy flavor. A nice, very drinkable IPA.

Medium amber/brown color, slight citrusy pine aroma. Good balance between malt and hops. Nice IPA with a solid bitter finish.
