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.

Solid IPA, definite hops taste. Bitter with the taste of hops as one would expect in an IPA, would buy again

Pours a beautiful amber color with minimal head. Very hoppy, which is something that I always appreciate. I’m a big fan of IPA’s, and this one definitely "steps up to the plate". 12 oz. bottle.

gold color with a quickly disappearing white head. Smell is of hops and taste is appropriately bitter. Not much of a fruit presence. Overall not bad

Pours copper with a sudsy beige head. The aroma has green grassy / piny hops with lightly toasted malt and is very clean. Medium crisp body with spritzy carbonation. The flavor starts off well enough with the hoppiness from the aroma, but the finish is mushy with an off-bitterness. A decent IPA, but nothing that will blow you away.

Not bad overall but kind of weak for an IPA. Average taste, slightly bitter. Thin texture and poor looking to boot.

Poured from bottle 1/2008. Potent hop aroma. Medium amber, thin head. Nice hop flavors. Not as wildly hopped as other American IPA s. Nice hop feel in the back of the mouth. Finished nicely. A decent IPA.

Wow. I used to think Red Hook was a pretty decent microbrew back in the day. So I figured their IPA might be all right, but then I took a look at the reviews here and shied away from it until I was at a friend’s place, and it appears he dived into a twelve-pack from the local "Star Mart." Pours YELLOW, which is odd for an IPA. I expected orangeish brew. Not much of an aroma. You can sort of smell the grapefruit. Is that Summit hops? Anyway, a bit of a bite, but Three Floyd’s Pride & Joy probably compares, and it’s a mild ale. Sorta too bad.
