Sep 18, 2008 12 oz bottle into shaker. All I have to say is this thing is very veyr out of balance and funky tasting (not in a good way). Over carbonated too. Nice amber color is only good characteristic.

Sep 15, 2008 hazy copper, medium off-white head, with bubbles floating on top. aroma is hoppy citrus and tea hints. flavor is mild grapefruit, with hints of tea (the flavor is the aroma). medium bodied, mildly bitter finish. not nearly a bold enough beer to be an ipa, but if you drink one during lunchtime, you can return to work fairly sober. unimaginative.

Sep 12, 2008 Pours cloudy amber with a thin white head that leaves a little lacing. Definitely more of an old English IPA, like a slightly over hopped ESB. Slight fruity hop aroma with a little wood chips thrown in. Flavor is some bitter and a little pine hops, and some straw like grassiness. Caramel malts and some metallic taste that borders on inpleasant. Finished rather quickly with some dry bitter hops. Definitely not worth the premium price charged in my area ($10 for a sixer), but not a bad beer, just not a real good IPA.

Sep 12, 2008 Bottle, Total Wine. Amber pour wtih a some lame hop aroma and flavor well its pretty lame too. A lot of these New England brewers make their IPA’s too weak and boring. Step up to the plate boys!

Aug 31, 2008 From bottle...pours a dirty gold with a moderate white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is full of bitter hops, some sweet malt, and a fairly high dose of skunk. Flavor is nothing great either...the hops are piney in nature and very bitter, and the skunk flavor is still there...something in here is reminding me of a St Pauli Girl...and that’s not really a good thing. Not much malt flavor keeps this pretty one-dimensional as well...bleh. Maybe I’m not cut out for the Fuggles hops, but this just isn’t my cup of tea. Body is thin and borders on watery. My first drain pour in a while...

Aug 31, 2008 12oz bottle. Clear amber with a nice fluffy white head. Grassy and earthy aroma with a hint of pear. The body is pretty thin and dry, with a harsh grassy and vegetal bitterness. The hopping might have worked with a sweet, caramely malt profile, but the lack of almost any malt character makes this pretty unpleasant to drink. Thin, watery, and almost undrinkable.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle from BSF Bar, GBBF ’08. Old gold with a white head. Aroma seemed rather nettly at first, but there was a gradual development that revealed first a canned tangerine sweetness, and then sweet caramel malts. Taste was gently fruity with some piney hops and a mid bitter finish, all overlaid with the sweetness of the malt. Quite understated for an American IPA, and none the worse for that.
