Feb 6, 2009 Bottle courtesy of dogfish120love – thanks Brian. Pours a medium slight hazy gold with a one finger white head. The nose is grassy hops and caramel. The taste is sweet caramel malt and light pine. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Meh, drinkable.

Jan 27, 2009 Geary’s makes fine English style ales, so I’m assuming this is their representation of an English IPA. Very different from what you get accustomed to in the states. It is a weird brew however, I felt it came across as a shallow attempt. Medium copper color with a lasting white head and good lacing. Aromas of stale pepper, toffee and a mix of fresh vegetables along with a woody aspect. Sharp mouth feel, dry and moderately bitter. It’s fairly tame and easy drinking. Grassy hop and lemon flavors coupled with crackers, buttered biscuits, and pepper. Solid brew, but odd overall. Mild IPA no matter what side of the pond you are on.

Dec 24, 2008 Nothing special about this beer. Not good for an intro to Gearys beers. Not sure what this is, I was hoping it was going to be like Sam Adams Winter Lager

Dec 19, 2008 12 ounce bottle in Duvel glass. Minimal aroma. Not sure what the hell is supposed to be going on here. Like drinking water from a rusty faucet. I might need a tetanus shot.

Dec 11, 2008 Pours gold into a shaker. Head quickly recedes to nothing. Cracker and malt aromas. Dry with heavy malts. Very limited hops in the finish. I like the dryness of the Gearys ales but I would not call this an IPA. Maybe a pale ale.

Jun 8, 2008 A clean golden pour. A pretty interesting spicy aroma that hints of apples. A very good finishing bitter but not much hops on the front. A thin and slightly watery offering. Not bad very nice bitter not alot of flavor but still a drinkable beer.
