A copper color beer with no head. A mild tasting IPA that is crisp, just a tad of spritz, & refreshing. Nothing to jump for joy over but not bad

Not too bad. A decent I.P.A. It is not as strong as some of the ones I like, but it hits the spot on a warm summer day. The hops have a fresh flavor.

A very nice session IPA. While not holding the complexity of some other IPAs, it manages to be more drinkable than many IPA’s with extreme IBU’s while maintaining a very nice light flavour. Extremely refreshing. On a hot summer’s day, I’ll grab for a cool Harpoon.

On tap at an applebee’s in Worcester. Nice mild citrus aroma from a golden orange pour. Flavor was slightly citrus and hoppy with a good malt balance. Nice IPA.

Bottle. Deep gold pour begets snowy foam. The nose pairs herbal flowery hops with bready malt… the malt component is quite pronounced for the style. Likewise, the flavor starts with earthy spicy hop, then biscuits with cane syrup step in. Some estery alcohol taste, and a sense of bitter orange. Although hops are noticeable, it is not a "hoppy" beer. Broad oily-herbal-peaty finish (better than it sounds). Slighty soapy aftertaste. Chewy, medium full mouthfeel. Definitely in the UK style.

This IPA is a little watery for my tastes. More hops please! This is more in the style of a true IPA (rather than the American style IPA).

Bottle from Vickery’s on Charleston...poured amber with a fluffy white head. Some lacing was present..Citrusy, floral hops and caramel malts were the dominate aromas with the same as flavors. A somewhat bland, but well balanced IPA. Easy to drink and not offensive...

Pours golend with a good sized head. Aroma is dominated by citrus and floral hops. Mouthfeel is lively with lots of carbonation and a medium body. Flavor is citrus with a nice balance of malty sweetness. A nice IPA.
