Commercial Description:
As the British Empire expanded, English brewers added extra hops to keep beer fresh for increasingly long sea voyages. The beer on board the Mayflower shared this trait. Mayflower IPA puts a descendant’s twist on this style, with a powerful hop profile balanced by plenty of malt character. We use the freshest hops from the Pacific Northwest to give this beer its distinct, piney flavor and delightful, fruity aroma.

Small off-white head, good lacing, clear red brown. Aroma is heavy with citrusy hops, grapefruit. Medium body, lovely carbonation, bitter finish. A nice IPA, refreshing/

Short off white head produced little lacing over a somewhat hazy golden to brown brew. Aroma of grapefruit and citrus hit first with some hoppie undertones. Medium bodied with refreshing carbonation. The hops didn’t hit me in the first sip but a second try had a nice, if short, shot of the bitter hops. Somewhat sweet at the beginning with that lovely floral in the middle. Very refreshing. A brew that is great in its balance rather than any distinguishing feature.

Very nice IPA. I may be a bit inflated here. In any case, good strong hops on the nose and strong bitterness throughout. Good east coast IPA.

(Draught) Pours a clear golden body with a small off-white head. Aroma of apricot, pineapple, and toasted malt. Flavor of mild citrusy/grassy hops and nicely golden biscuits.

pint at Sunset Grill. Good aroma, sweet. Fruity, Apricot, berry, toffee. Clean golden orange color, ok head, and lace. Bitter flavor, like aroma, but has a bitter streak, lemon/grassy. Medium body, creamy oily mouthfeel, bitter finish. Very nice ipa, this went down fast. The aroma was delightful. A nice one to have, well worth finding.
