May 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden orange with a white head. Light hoppy aroma, with some sweeter fruit and caramel. The flavor has a strangely off hop profile, some sweet malt and a dry finish. Not bad.

May 1, 2009 From the bottle this brew poured clear, rich amber orange with medium off white head, holding for about 2 minutes. It smells earthy and piny. Nice aspirin bitterness with a gentle sweetness, nice malty backbone. It’s got a fairly complex hop profile. Citrus, bitters and florals mingle nicely. It doesn’t kick you in the teeth. The palate is right on. Delicious!

Apr 29, 2009 Confused, Wilkes Barre or Southampton, NY. Bottle said Wilkes Barre, rusty amber in color, more English than the America IPAs. More malty than hoppy, I guess a nice balance of malt and hop but not my fav IPA. I would try again though.

Apr 24, 2009 12 oz bottle poured into a tulip. Pours a clear amber with frothy off-white head. Aroma mostly of malt, very faint citrus pine hops. Very mild hop scent for an IPA. Taste of sweet malt, with mild bitterness. Tastes more like a pale ale, not an IPA. Mild/medium carbonation. Nothing to write home about.

Apr 23, 2009 Bottle Pours a clear amber with a good off white head. The heads stays as expected. Has a good hoppy aroma of spruce, and spices. Has a light carbination. A nice mouthfeel. A subtle hoppiness but a solid bitter finish. Has a watery texture. A pretty good balance. Not overly hoppy but still good. A good aftertaste. Has a medium to light body.

Apr 11, 2009 Nice looking clear orange pour with your typical thinning white head, aroma is grassy and a bit citrusy, well-balanced flavor of hops and malt, some citrus again, finishes sweet and slightly dry...very good IPA.

Apr 9, 2009 This is clearly in the style of an English IPA...but it’s still pretty darn good. This one has a Hella malty impression right off the bat but it settles with the expected bitterness that’s expeded. The hops are muted/retarded/notQuiteRight but they have their place. Had this been billed as a classic UK IPA I would have raved. Shaka Tamasna Kata Frata Brada!!
