Nov 13, 2007 Bottle sample. Hazy amber with a white head. Floral hoppy nose with a bit of citrus, some malt and a bit of caramel. Flavor starts with some sweet malt and a bit of caramel, then turns to bitter hoppiness with slight hints of grapefruit. Medium-bodied. Quite enjoyable, but nothing great.

Nov 2, 2007 Bottle; pours a gold color with medium to large frothy white head. Aroma of biscuit, yeast with only a faint hop presence. Flavor had a fairly strong bitter finish. However, lacked complexity and good flavor. Really a poor offering; below average for the style.

Oct 6, 2007 Bottle. Pours a murky cloudy pale orange body with thin head. Aroma is of heavy malt, light hops, gym shorts. Flavor has a very dominant malt profile with some citrus hops hanging in near the end. Mediocre.

Sep 30, 2007 Clear golden with a frothy white head and clingy lacing. Citrus aroma with some biscuity maltiness. Powerful bitterness up front that quickly breaks to give way to a light malt flavor, but leaves a lingering hoppy dry aftertaste. Not terrible, but could use a little more sweetness to better balance. The malt is highly overpowered.

Sep 24, 2007 Enjoyed a half pint of this beer on tap the brewery before the free tour. It had a hop-dominated aroma, with grainy and earthy notes, but maybe some caramel malt mixed in too. It was quite bitter, but the flavor was not as good as I had hoped. It had a dark amber color with a good-sized foamy white head. The beer was aggressive on the palate, with a good stickyness, and was very dry. IPA is admittedly not one of my favorite styles, but I expected more out of this beer.

Sep 8, 2007 Plastic cup from a tap at Camden Yards. Another local delight that makes a great back-up IPA when I don’t have any Clipper City Loose Cannon Hop3 around. Subdued and easier drinking than all those other mega-IBU hop-bombs you hear hopheads raving about, and a good example of a solid East Coast IPA (meaning it’s sweeter, chewier, and maltier.) Those looking for a gateway craft beer have found it here.
