12oz bottle-pours a head of white bubbles and copper/brown color. Aroma is medium malt-some caramel/brown sugar. Taste is dark/medium malt-some caramel/brown sugar, secondary/faint hops bite. An easy drinking beer but not much hops, so I enjoyed it but not an IPA.

A plesant enough bitter, with a bit of brown sugar sweetness. Certinally not anything that I would be used to calling an India Pale Ale.

IPA? Not even close. IPAs are one of my fav’s and this has got to be the worst one I’ve had.. This had a dark brown body, a little heavy, with a fairy thick head and a decent amount of lace. The color looks nothing like an IPA. It tastes more like a Brown Ale as well. Hops? Hardly any. Are they sure they put the right label on this? Wow. Somewhat smooth, but not a fan of the flavor at all. A scotchy malt flavor is the best way I can describe it. Or a milder version of their Scotch Ale, which I found disgusting. Maybe I’ll get it again in a year or so to see what I think then.

Bottle. Pours brown in color with a one finger head. Aroma is malt and a hint of hops. Flavor was light for an IPA, it had a nice bitter quality to it though. Drinkable.

Thanks jcwattsrugger. A brown pour with hints of red. Malt and brown sugar without much hops on the nose. Medium sweet on the front with a bit of sweet on the finish. Very thin and watery carbonation is ok. Very average beer that doesn’t seem like an IPA I found it drinkable. What do you know it wasn’t an IPA.

The color is rather dark and the flavour has a good bitterness from the beginning. Then it has a brief watery feeling that is followed by notes of malt, heather and honey. I wasn’t impressed by this one.
