Commercial Description:
Everything great that was ever built required a long hammer. A trusty tool used by ordinary ordinary men to make extraordinary things. Transcontinental train tracks. Impossible pipelines. Soaring skyscraper. Long Hammer IPA puts this bold spirit in a bottle. And like its namesake, it's a beer built to stand the test of time.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale orange with a thin white head. Aroma is mostly of pine and citrus hops. Flavor starts with citrus goes to some malts and ends with some bitterness. Not bad.

Poured into a pilsener glass for some reason... It could pass in color for a pilsener... Decent aroma of citrus and grass.... Very orange citrus flavor up front, a bit medicinal in the finish... Palatable beer, this is not so bad, but a good IPA it is not... It is almost refreshing in a way, hybrid of a beer... I like how it not sweet, the malts did not need to be excessive, more malts would have killed this beer for me... If this was classified as an american pale ale i think it does much much better...

Bottle. Pours a weak yellow color. Aroma is faint hops, both floral and pine. Flavor is way weak for an IPA. Nothing really in the aftertaste. No hop bitters. Thin body. Very disappointing.

pours a very pale yellow with a very thin white head. aroma displays some malty sweetness and some citrus and floral hops. flavor is lightly malty and has light grapefruit and tea. very thin watery mouthfeel and a fairly abrupt finish. pretty mild and basic ipa.

The flavor was very mild and not impressive. This is definitely a beginners ipa. There is a bitter finish.

In Northfield, MA. Copper colour with slight, prickly and white head. Hoppy nose with citrus. Hoppy taste obviously. Sweetish and soapy also. Good consistency. Bitter in the finish. Nice all-around IPA.

Pours Golden color. 1 finger head, that dissipated quickly. Smells wonderfully hoppy and clean. Has a good medium mouthfeel. Has a pretty clean taste too it and has some bitterness, but really not all that bitter, i expected a bit more out of an IPA. I like it, but then again im just now getting into IPAs and im still not loving overly hopped beers. Even with that I thought i would be getting a bit more out of this one...but still has a good flavor, just not too much going on here. I am abit suprised to see the abv on this is 6.5% though, feels much less.

Bottle thanks to Drew. Bottle poured to glass. copper in color. Small white head with a fine bead. Cedar and piney notes in the aroma. Not overly hopped or robust. A bit thin and a bit under billed for an IPA
