This is one of my favorite beers. The taste is very distinct and enjoyable. Definitely a bitter beer, yum!

Amber in colour with medium carbonation. Familiar grapefruit and floral C-hop aromas. Good (but slightly plain when compared to some other APAs) citrus and light caramel flavors. There’s a bit of cut grass in there too. Light on the palate with solid bitterness. Definitely lighter than the bottled version, but more focused. Nice.

Aroma: Grassy, lemony, and a bit of toasted caramel. Appearance: Poured a clear light amber color. a good slightly tan head which diminished slowly. Flavor: Biscuity with resinous hop flavor. Nice sweetness in the middle and then cleared by a nice dry finish. Palate: Moderate carbonation that seemed a little wet. Very pleasant dry finish. Overall: I had not had SNPA in quite a long time and enjoyed this one with my lunch. Slightly better than I remember. Made me remember why so many people love this beer. A good beer.

Nice amber orange color with an ample tan head. Aroma is mild citrus and hops, taste is a nice balance of hops, malt, citrus, and bitters. I know its the same, but I prefer draft to bottle for this IPA any day.

Draft 14 oz pour served very cold. Very little smell, just very subtle hops notes, Pours a dark yellow color, with a white head. Flavor is of pine , and citrus hops, yet much more mild than the bottle version. Slightly less carbonation and mouthfeel than the bottle variety. Not terrible but I guess I could drink it, still wish it was bridgeport IPA

On tap @ some corporate american irish pub chain. Pours out a hoppy amber caramel with some hops, but not much charachter. I guess it helped wash down the guiness after seeing Poland go down 2 nill to Ecuador. bah
