Commercial Description:
Made with 100% New York State hops. India Pale Ale (IPA) is a style of beer renowned for its hop character. Some modern brewers have taken this tradition to the next level with the "Double IPA". What better way to parade the potential of NYS hop farming than with our new Double IPA. Hop farming once thrived in New York State. In the early 1900s, 95% of all hops used in the US were grown here in New York. However, soon the combination of crop disease & prohibition put an end to local hop growing. There is a new movement afoot to bring commercial hops back to NY. The Ithaca Beer Co. has teamed up with Pederson Farms (Seneca Castle, NY) to bring you this exceptional ale.

On draft at Capone’s. Pours a dark orange/brown with a medium white head. Aroma of grassy hops and light pine. Taste of grassy notes, light pine and faint citrus.

Thanks to xnoxhatex for sharing. The body was dark gold with a white colored head. At first you get the obvious grapefruit. Then, behind that, there is a little bit of funk and apples. The taste was straight ahead grapefruit with some almonds. A fairly dry finish.

12oz bottle from homebrew mystery swap. Clear amber with small white head. Aroma is fruity hoppy, a little caramel, a little dough, a lot of citrus hops, some pine, pretty enjoyable. Citrus flavor resin hops with some pine and caramel and dough, grass, all around pretty nice. Medium body and a little syrupy, but not bad. Overall a very a nicebeer but a little bit too aged.

330 ml. found at Premiere Gourmet.A hoppy beer, was not sure what hops used, but leafy taste. Even a tad of wintermint. Not a bad double IPA, short of being a hop bomb and well malted. Just very hoppy.Carbonation was a bit high, this would be interesting on cask. bee-aye #2901.
