Commercial Description:
Smuttynose IPA is a physical salute to the glory of the American hop grower. The citrusy hop flavor coming from a mixture of Simcoe and Santiams is pleasantly balanced by a smooth bitterness from the Amarillo hops. The beer itself is light bodied and crisp with a golden color that will throw a slight haze, as we bottle it unfiltered. At 65 IBU’s, this is definitely not a training-wheels IPA, but is meant for hop lovers looking to satisfy their craving in a way that’s not easy to find. We think they’ll be quite pleased.

This beer pours a hazey orange colour with a nice sized white frothy head. Well balanced, plenty of floral, citrus and fruity aromas. Grapefruit flavors with a very long smooth hop finish. Taste is aweseome, nice carbonation, and a little pine- but overall hop infused and sweet-tart taste mid palate.

I thought this beer was decent but I didn’t find anything special about it. I would not buy again based just on what I had but my sickpack may have been outdated. Might sample again

16oz draught @ big apple bbq NYC - very bitter and hoppy - absolutely delectable. I gulped down two of these at the festival in 100 degree heat and that may have helped the rating! When down exceptionally smooth and was very refreshing. Aroma of citrus and pours out a thick frothy white head.

12 oz bottle from dave (dmac). Thank you for an excellent IPA. Very refreshing to have an east coast ipa without an overpowering malt profile. Good stuff.

Bottle from a couple of people. Thanks guys. A little past the finish before date, but not by too much. Maybe a little oxidized on the nose. Aromas are a tad bland, but I picked up light citrus, grapefruit, white grape juice (faint) , and pale malts. Pours hazy orange gold with a great 1/4 inch lasting head, sticky thick lacing, and lots of yeast in the bottom. Nice mostly bitter IPA. Grapefruit and orange rinds, some strong perfume, and doughy malts. Dry finish. Lots of resins. This would be great with spicy food. A pretty damn good IPA.

12 oz. bottle. A real solid IPA, very drinkable and very refreshing. This is a damn good day-to-day beer.

From a bottle poured a nice amber color with a fair amount of head. Nice hoppy flavor with a lingering aftertaste.
