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.

On Tap. Pours a pale amber with small white head. Aroma was light citrus and pine. Its not a hop bomb like i like. Flavor was decent maybe a bitter macro. better than bmc. Nothing special here.

Had it on tap tonight in EG Bush. Pours a yellowy brown color, small white head. Taste is fairly bland, but a decent amount of hops and bitterness. Not as much hoppiness as I prefer in my IPAs, but it’s a fairly decent offering. I’d take it over a Bud any day.

Brassy color with just a bit of cloudyness. Nose is more malty than usual for an IPA. The malt hop balance leans more toward malt and away from hop than is typical for an IPA as well. The hops finally come through in the finish, which is plesent. A pretty good, easy to drink brew.

On tap at Irish Kevin’s (Key West, FL): For an IPA, I’m pretty dissapointed. There’s no noticable hops on the aroma and the mouthfeel is too carbonated and overall kinda watered down. But maybe I’ve been drinking too many dipas. On the plus side, it’s mildly sweet with some slight hop notes in the finish. Drinkability: It’s o.k. Rebuy: I don’t think so. #109 on 05092009, DG.

Pours a light orange with small foamy head. Citrus hop nose with yeast. Flavor of spicy hops. Strong, bitter finish. Somehow tastes a bit skunky, maybe old? Odd aftertaste. Thin body with heavy carbonation. Very unrefined beer. Rough around the edges and very amaturish.

22 Oz Cup at the Coheed and Cambria concert in Walingford CT. It was the best beer on tap at the time. Great golden pour with a nice head. Fruity, Bitter, with a light hoppy finish. Hey it beet Coors light that night.

[bottle] Potent grapefruit with some pine in the nose, drowning out some caramel. Clear dark gold with a lasting, white, thin cover and lace. Flavour is in line with the aroma: mostly grapefruit hops with a strong bitterness married to sweet, citrusy caramel. Sweet and slightly bitter finish, moderate carbonation, medium body.

bottle. Pale amber color topped by a thin white head. Herbal hoppy aroma with the flavor leaning towards the more standard IPA. Some sweetness, some fruit and pine flavor. Bitter finish - this drink just isn’t refreshing. This or a Sierra Nevada? Go with the Sierra Nevada
