Didn’t expect too much from Otter Creek, but this is a pretty good IPA, not overly hoppy or malty. Not much else to say, not outstanding but not horrible either. The best Otter Creek I’ve had though.

Amber color. Smell of citrus, malt, slight pine, hops, bread, soap and orange zest. Taste of the same but very weak and flat. Its not that great. I can’t believe that they have been in business for this long.

(Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy burnt orange body with a small beige head. Aroma of caramel, citrus, and a hint of soap. Flavor of caramel malt and hops.

22oz. bomber: This one pours a slightly hazy orangish-amber color. There was a bit of a head on it, but it drops off quickly. Milder aroma for an IPA, but still nice. Some citrus and caramel to the nose. Some other fruits also. This is medium bodied, and not too bitter. Some caramel sweetness up front. Some spiciness. Decent enough.

Pours a cloudy caramel amber color with a thin white head. Aroma of spicy, earthy hops and caramel. Flavor of spicy, earthy hops and caramel with a bitter finish, the right elements are there but they feel tamed and too mild, it gets boring after a while. The body is light to medium with moderate carbonation.

A little disappointing. Looks like they did a lot of work on this one, but it didn’t play out as they would have liked it. Too sweet for an IPA. The pour was a little light in colr. All that said, it certainly is a nice drinking, slightly above aveage pale ale.

Poured somewhat hazy amber with a fizzy/creamy white head that left some lacing. Aroma of orange, pine, butterscotch. Not extremely hoppy, but pleasant. Flavor is a tad light, consisting of pine, grass, a bit of tropical fruit and melon. Leads to a buttery grassy finish. Body feels rather light and undercarbonated. Still nothing great here, but probably the best I’ll ever have from this barely-mediocre Vermont brewer.

(Bottle 65 cl) Pours a clear amber with a dense, beige head. Lightly citrusy aroma. Medium body with some light caramel notes and then a solid bitter hoppiness with a citrusy touch. 011206
