overall a very good IPA nothing stands out on either end, great or bad. Not too aromatic, pours a cloudy amber/orange, decent head and retention. flavors of sweet malt, and citrus hops but again nothing stands out. Good but far from great.

12oz bottle. Pours a murky bronze color with a small off white head. Nose is light spicy hop notes with a light bit of toasty malt notes. Palate is full and tingly, quite spicy feeling. Flavors of the spicy hops and toasty malt notes with a bitter finish.

Bottle from Kingdom Liquors. Poured hazy copper color with a large frothy off-white head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hop and earthy malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft citrus. Moderate bitter flavor with a moderate bittersweet finish of medium duration. Very good brew.

12oz bottle from Supreme Liquors, Cambridge MA, 9 November 2009. Bright pale copper colour. Thin off-white head. Nicely poised and drinkable East Coast IPA. Modest aroma. No blockbuster in the hop department but not exactly a shrinking violet either. Decent balance of slightly citric hops and toasty pale malt. Light but lingering bitterness. Clean, fresh mouthfeel. Good quaffing stuff.

The aroma is hoppy with grass and citrus as well as yeast, leaves, nuts, and malt. The appearance is deep hazy amber with a large foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with a very bitter finish. The palate is smooth. Overall this is a good example of the style but a a bit astringent.

Pours a cloudy orange with massive head. Snow white head with massive lacing. Very yeasty. Spicey hops on the nose. Slight grapefruit. Grapefruit flavor dominates. Bitter hops bring it home. Tastes light at first but the flavor gets better as your drink it. Little watery. Could definitely use more malt. Despite the massive head, the carbonation is perfect. Feel nice on the palate, silky smooth.

Deep stagnant orange-red. Good color of lace. Good color. Chlorine pale ale hop aroma. Sharp pale malts. Some pale chlorine hops, but a decent bitter malt. The hops are too flowery and chlorine. As it warms, the hops take over. Bitterly flowery. Feels watery but a tad thick on the back end. A decent, slightly underwhelming. A touch of citrus.
