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.

Not...bad. The malt is a little indefinable, caramelly without that crystal malt flavor, and some...peanuts? Hops were assertive but not overpowering. A good, drinkable ale. And 7.8%? Coulda fooled me.

Woah. Great head, color, nose, mouthfeel & taste. The only weird thing I’ve found with this local favorite is that it’s never been the same twice. I’ve only had it on tap, and it’s differant each time, mostly in mouthfeel. It has really, really introduced hops into the PA Dutch area!

Pours out a nice amber color. Good floral hop aroma. Taste was hoppy with some sour notes somewhat like a flemish sour. Lime notes made this a very interesting IPA, very interesting beer.

Bottle. Amber in color with a nice, pretty head. Sweet hoppy aroma- some floral, citrus, and pine... nice. Flavor is full of bittersweet cascade hops- but not overdone by any means. In fact, it’s nicely balanced- with a hint of tasty malts. A very nice beer.

Poured a dark yellow/orange color with a nice amount of foamy white head. Very floral hoppy aroma with pine and lime undertones. Very nice smooth citrus and hop flavor, not overly hoppy which i liked. Overall i though this was very good.

Sour zesty aroma of lime. Copper color body with off white head. Flavor was an aboundance of sour lime. If any of you recall those plactic lemon or Lime items they sold and squirted liquid. Well if you have had one of them thiat is the flavor. Dry citrus aftertaste on the palate.

Thanks Jpdipso for sharing this one. Pours a clear amber color, small white head. Aroma is mellow grapefruit, orange, pine needles, cinnamon. Flavor is definitely dominated by the hops. Very little malt to this one.

Lightly hazed dark amber liquid with a tall dark tan, fluffy head. Pure raw hops aromas. Pine and mild caramel in the nose. Fairly much all hops in the aroma makes me less than thrilled with the scents presented. Citric and grapefruit flavors dominate from the start. Again the raw hops are all over the place. I feel I am chewing on some pine cones. Enough heft in the body to help, but the malt is hard to find. The malt does come out slightly in the finish. As it warms some mild caramel comes out as well as a mild licorice hops flavor. Not enough balance.
