Aug 7, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle. Poured gold with a medium white head. Smell was strongly of earth and a little bit of hops. For an IPA, there wasn’t much hop character to it, but it was still pretty solid. I’d probably buy it again if I had the chance.

Aug 3, 2009 I had this decent craft beer on my trip to OBX. It had a modest grainy and earthy hop aroma with some yeast and a bit of caramel malt and citrus. A cloudy gold-yellow color with a medium off-white foamy head. A predominantly bitter, hoppy grain and citrus taste, with a bit of sweetness. The beer had good carbonation and fizz with a somewhat dry finish and good mouthfeel.

Aug 2, 2009 I GRABBED THIS BEER SIMPLY BECAUSE I LOVE IPA’S. PURDED IT IN A PINT GLASS AND IT LOOKS REFRESHING WITH PALE GOLDEN COLOR AND THIN HEAD. TASTE QUITE REFRESHING TOO, HOWEVER IT IS VERY SUBTLE FOR AN IPA. NOT MUCH GOING ON WITH THE FLAVOR. GOOD BEER BUT IF YOUR GOING FOR A 10 SIX PACK ITS NOT THE BEST CHOICE.

Jul 31, 2009 Color is yellow to gold, . Flavor is very balanced between bitter hops and sweet malt. The odor if definitely very hoppy with some citrus. I love the bitter taste, and I keep a couple 6-packs of this in my fridge at all times. It’s my go-to beer when I’m out of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA.

Jul 30, 2009 12 bottle. Pours clear straw/golden. Malt flavor balances the hops nicely, as I’m drinking I think I’d love it to be drier but with the same hop profile. You can smell the hops bitterness. The beer lingers a few seconds on the tongue and roof of the mouth, interesting sensation.

Jul 27, 2009 Bottle poured into a pint glass produced a finger worth of white head that trailed to a thick lace. The body was a clear golden yellow in color.
A great hop aroma nice and floral. The flavor is a balance of malts sweetness and hops bitter. This is the original east cost IPA to me all others must measure up to this. The brew is nice and crisp with a nice dry resin finish.
An all around great IPA most of the time I can get this in most bars that serve only macros and it well worth

Jul 26, 2009 Enjoyed at the brewery and on tap in surrounding pubs in a pub glass. The beer pours a nice amber/medium golden color; crystal clear as a result of filtration. The nose brings the floral aroma of grapefruity Cascade hops. The palate gives strong indications that this is the English-style variant of IPA, as the hop and malt character are both restrained. Overall, a nice, if straightforward, example of English IPA.
