Mar 4, 2009 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.

Mar 2, 2009 The flavor was very mild and not impressive. This is definitely a beginners ipa. There is a bitter finish.

Feb 28, 2009 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.

Feb 22, 2009 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.

Feb 20, 2009 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

Appearance: Pours a clear, copper body with a thin, white head. Thin, delicate lacing on the way down.
Smell: Grassy, citrusy hop scents overlaying a very basic pale maltiness.
Taste: Pale malts with a medium sweetness. In succession: citrus, soap, grass. Medium bitterness. Dry, only faintly bitter finish. Redhook simply phones it in with this one.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: As an India Pale Ale, it’s very basic, very average, but not very memorable.

Feb 19, 2009 Bottle. Pour is fairly light... more of a gold than anything. Head is smallish. Aromas are fairly decent... a bit of the typical American IPA hops mixture... some pine, citrus and floral hops. Flavor is a watery mix of the above with a honey sweetness that takes over for just a second or two as the beer slides across the palate. It doesn’t work very well, and fortunately it is short-lived and things quickly finish with a bit of bitter hops. Still, the watery intro and the sweet middle phase are pretty big limitations for this mediocre IPA.
