Commercial Description:
Brewed with day-old, whole leaf, wet hops at the brewpub formerly known as SAm Adams, a pacific Ivory Tower far above the madding crowd of typical beer.

Cask at the brewpub: Hazy deep copper bronze with a wispy ring of head. The aroma is huge dimethylsulfide with a nutty undertone. The cask was under carbonated as well. The flavor has a touch less DMS- the crystal malt is coming through with a nutty sweet husk note. Way too much DMS. I’ve had two casks from this brewer and both have been in terrible condition.

Tap at Capone’s. Pours out a medium hue gold with a moderate off white fluffy head. Aroma is up front, punch you in the face hops. Citrus, grapefruit and slight pine. Taste is also a hop assault, grapefruit, citrus, slight pine/grassy finish. Slight malt going on in the background, but this one is a hop lovers dream. Very enjoyable.

Clear amber body, small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit/pine, quite pungent. Taste is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, some caramel. Good hop burp. Watery medium body.

On draft during the O’Briens Wet Hop Festival. Clear, brilliant medium amber with a small off-white head. Brash citrus and piney hop aromas, orange juice fruitiness, with hints of toasty malts residing in the background. Dusty, earthy flavors, a sharp hop character with some pine and bitter herbs, toasty malts along with some pepper and spice. Tingly carbonation compliments the medium body.

This is an IPA. I would never have guessed that. Poured dark amber with a creamy white head. Aroma had citrus, graitfruit, caramel and toffee. Taste was really smooth with a good maltiness. Reminds me of Sierra Harvest a little.

Cask. Deep amber body, no head. Boatloads of green, fresh hops abound in the nose and mouth. No balance here, this is a hop lover’s dream come true. The best part is, th hops aren’t bitter or biting at all, just a wondeful bouquet of flavor. Awesome beer, and my favorite at the Iron Hill Brewer’s Reserve ’05.

Excellent IPA, I would like to say everything that jca lbi said, but I might get yelled at for copying off him, but everything he mentioned is right on with this beer, not quite as bitter as I expected but still packed a nice hoppy whallop

I love this beer. This "wet hops" thing works for me!
