Growler. Pours a hazy light amber thin head and good lace. Aroma is herbal hops somehwat on the light side and not powerful- with some lemon citrus hints. Ligth crackery pale malt backbone, some sweetness, herbal and spicy hops with some minty hops, and a slice of orange. Smooth and ok bitterness in the finish- overall just a bit weak.

I’m not into IPA’s, but this was well crafted. A few friends enjoyed it. Not my cup of hops.

Draught at the brewpub. Has a dry (as in not sweet) pineapple flavor to it with good bready malt richness. Solid IPA.

Draught @ Portsmouth Brewpub. Pours amber. Aroma is pine and citrus hops, a bit sweet. Taste is sweet caramel malt up front, nice body, with a balanced but big citrus and pine hop hope character emerging.Clean but a bit resiney, bitterness lingering on the palate. Very balanced, drinkable, well crafted IPA.

22oz bottle. Pours cloudy, burnt orange with virtually no head, just some bubbles, a few specks of lace. Smells grassy with a bot of cereal malts in the background. Taste is pretty good. A mix of grassy hop flavors and caramel malt flavors. Medium body, pretty weak carbonation.
