First off...what a stupid name for a beer - aside from that, here’s the rating: Light golden coloured body with a thinnish white head and a few bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of stale hops, light malt and a bit of fake sugars - nothing too great. Medium-bodied; Light hoppy assertiveness with some yeast flavours. Aftertaste shows the fake sugars and a funky cardboard taste. Overall, a pretty bad beer - not really worth trying, but good to sample in the good old USA! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Bacchus Bar in New Paltz, New York on 21-June-2008.

A slightly hoppy, slightly bitter IPA with moderate hop mouthfeel, but plenty of floral characteristics. a little dissapointing to say the least, but not suprising, considering its from sleeman.

I found this to be milder than a lot of other IPA’s. Not light in taste but light in hops. RE-Rate-slightly inconsistant. Some are more bitter and hopy

Cool bottle scores this one more points. The color of the beer in the picture to the left. A decent head. Aroma is somewhat floral with some sweetness and perhaps corn. The flavor contains a pleasant mild hop bite followed by light sweetness and a funky adjunct thing that I am not used to in an IPA. It was drinkable however and it was unobtrusive with dinner.

more yellowish than amber pour with little or no head - tastes a little thin - not a bop you in the head IPA but ok - has a slight corn aftertaste

Pretty standard IPA, not too bad, nothing great. Little on the low side, probably wouldn’t recommend at all. Meh is right.

Well i’m not getting my hopes up. Looks nice, good amber color, very small head, next to no lacing. Aroma is cheap grains, and a touch of hops. Flavour is slightly hoppy, with some cheap malt, and that typical macro graininess. a big MEH.

Rich amber color, light head, bitter hops all throughout. Pretty standard IPA without any extra flair.
