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.

<i>Sampled at Flour City Brewers’ Fest, Rochester NY. AU15/08.</i><br /><br /> <b>App.</b>: Clear deep golden, fair white froth. <b>Aroma</b>: Strong fresh hopes – citrus and pine, leafy, light malts. <b>Palate</b>: Medium body, sparse but sharp carbonation. <b>Flav.</b>: Very fresh leafy hops that is almost savoury, some fruitiness; dry with fair bitterness.<br /><br /> Didn’t love the hop flavours.

Nice looking pour with fairly robust hop presence on taste and smell. Quieter malt presence allows for the drying hop quality to overpower the taste, and this leaves it a little unbalanced. Still this is a pretty good brew and a middle of the road IPA.

Pours a light little amber color with a medium off white head. Smells of light hops and grapefruit citrus. Nothing complex, smells a little hoppy like it should. The flavor had a decent amount of hops to it, certainly held its own in that regard. Some grapefruit citrus lingers in the finish and the aftertaste with a decent hop bitterness as well. Solid little IPA, wasn’t expecting too much and was pleasantly surprised.

POured a dark yellow color with a white head. Aroma was a lttle bit of spicey hops, some malt, a bit weak. Flavor was also a bit watery, but a nice hop balance form wat was there.

Bottle. Pours coppery orange with thing head. Smells piney, grassy, citrusy and fruity. Tastes sweet and floral, followed quickly by some citrus, then piney/bitter. Some malts present. Excellent blend of flavors.

Pours gold into a shaker. Head quickly recedes to hug rim leaving sickly lacing. Strawberries and resin aromas. Crisp with sour hops from front to back.
