Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Brattleboro, Vermont USA

thanks to firemoose15 for bringing this over, pours a copper cloudy body, smells great, lots of grass, wet hay, and some hints of caramel in the aroma, the flavor mirrors the aroma, with some woodiness and . the aftertaste is very bitter and acidic, an oily mouthfeel and a strong lingering flavor were all a bit over the top. a little disappointing considering how much i have like all the other stuff from this brewer.

White soapy head. Amber-orange color. Strong hops taste. Hint of citrus undertone. A little too bitter on the aftertaste, but dry and bitter as it should be.

Hazy amber-orange color, with a shy white head, with some small chunks of lees floating in the beer, with yeasty, hint of banana, raw flower hops, piney, cedary accent, pale malt,with a tartness note in the nose,follows through on a medium-bodied palate with an oily hops note, grassy, flowery, leafy, piney, cedary flavor, leading to a well dry hop bitterness finish.

Pours hazy golden/ light orange with a big foamy orange head. Aroma is light hops. Taste is slightly watery with citrus hop characteristics. A little earthy, but overall very drinkable.

Couleur oranger-caramel pale abrité d’une faible mousse blanche concassé. Arômes de doux caramel, de thé anglais et d’agrumes citron-pamplemousse. Malgré son utilisation d’un houblon type cascade, elle semble influencé par les certaines IPA britanniques pour sa balance malt-houblon et pour la douceur qu’elle offre. En bouche, le caramel est bien contrebalancé par les houblons mi-aromatisant, mi-amer. Le corps est un peu plus mince que ce que je recherche dans un IPA si savoureuse et le niveau de carbonisation trop faible à mon goût. Finale légèrement sèche, houblonné â froid, rappelant les concombres semi-amer. Presque satisfaisant! Bouteille Charles Street Liquor, Boston, Janvier 2005.

Yummy! Acquired this from a frien d passing through on business. Light copper color, little head, hoppy aroma, hint of lime. Full flavour with a nice fizzy mouth feel. Slight imbalance in bitterness... but that’s just the way I like it. Bitter and dry finish. Lingers. Cheers!

Bomber: poured orange with a hint of carmel. Big off white head. Hoppy aroma. Flavor was a bit dry but nice pine and slight citrus notes. Finishes bitter. Pretty good beer.

22 oz bomber. Orange in color with a off white head. Very floral and citrusy aroma. Hoppy. Full bodied flavor. Malty with a nice bitterness. nice beer. Enjoyable.
