Pours dark golden/amber with a mostly receding light tan head Aroma of grassy English hops, woody, and fruity esters. Taste is grass, meaty hops, and herbal notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly resinous with lively carbonation.

On tap at Rich O’s Publick House when I stopped on the way to Dark Lord Day. This pours with a very clear gold body under a thin white head. Malt dominates the aroma. The flavor is slightly bitter with a good support from the malt. Soft carbonation, easy drinking.

Pours brown/orange with a minor head. Aroma of caramel, fruit, and chocolate. Moderate mouth feel with a strong hop bitterness. Caramel and fruit undertones carry the hops in a wonderful way. Great IPA!

On tap at NABC. A slightly hazed light brown pour. With a slight malt aroma followed by hops. A semi sweet maltiness followed by a good hard bitter. Very clean with no off flavors and just a hint of abv. A very smooth palate with light carbonation and good mouthfeel. A decent brew.

Draft from Sportstime Pizza. Filtered and bronze golden hued. Clinging white head. Bready and slight hoppy aromas. Creamy silky mouthfeel. Nice and fruity. Grapefruit and citrus. Dry with a slightly more noticable burn. Another solid brew.

Draft - beautiful reddish IPA with a beige head of creamy bubbles. Grassy hop nose. Firm malt backbone. Hops are there in large numbers, but are somehow muted in the flavor. I guess I’m trying to say that they are not up front and bright like a Two Hearted or Stone IPA. This must be due to the fact that it is billed as an English IPA and not an American IPA. A fine beer, nonetheless.
