Commercial Description:
Our hoppiest beer to date! This formidable India Pale Ale has a hop aroma that demands attention. The bold, citrus hop flavor is balanced by a dry malt character that makes this refreshing ale a true classic.

Bottle. Pours a standard amber color with a small white head. Subdued malt and hops in the aroma. Mild hops and some malt for the flavor. Balanced but nothing special.

This is a good east coast IPA, in that it is not over the top hops. It’s just a good balance with a strong hop presence that will not burn out your taste buds. You can get this all over the area and on tap at the Clip. I’ll have this over BMC any day at the ballpark.

From a bottle, poured with thick head, dark amber in color. Good aroma, appearance. Way too malty & sweet for me, not well balanced.... where are the hops?

Drank from a bottle. Nice hoppy flavor with a bitter aftertaste. Amber color. Decent beer.

From a bottle poured amber with a lot of head. Hoppy flavor with a lasting finish.

From bottle... poured cloudy, dark gold. Aroma was hoppy but musty. From there, it was all downhill. The flavor was hugely disappointing. I wouldn’t have realized this was an IPA if I did a blind taste test. Palate was sticky and flat. Booooooo.

Thanks to DIM for this extra Bottle poured into my hooker pint glass produced a fair amount of head that last’s for the whole time I drank this one. All this on top of an amber brown body Malts and hops fill your nose more malt forward than I expected for an IPA Yes very malt forward in the taste as well the hops takes a second fiddle to it Nice clean mouthfeel with a good amount of carbonation for your tongue This drink’s rather easy I could down a ton of these with out a problem, it is an average IPA. My one complaint would be it needs some more hops to live up to the name

12 oz. pour. Golden copper with tight off white head that quickly dissipates leaving no lacing to speak of. Aroma of hops and citrus. Flavors of yeast in the front palate, strong pine in the mid and a mild malty finish. Huge bitter kick in the middle, like chewing on foliage - and not in a good way - but it’s just a punch and then...gone. Not one of the greatest IPA’s I’ve ever had and wouldn’t go out of my way for it, but would be easy enough to drink on a hot, muggy day.
