Grapefruit, with rind and everything. Golden pour with decent head. Astringent tinny vibe that cloys for a while. Not bad, with a West Coast body. Bitter, barky finish. Tap at Gettysburg location.

Reviewed from notes. Consumed 11/17/12,
Serving from brewpub, Lititz location.
The appearance had a slight amber to yellow body with a thin white head that died after a good fifteen seconds. Some really light lacing was left.
The smell had some piney hops up front with the typical earthy malts backing up a normal English IPA as it should be.
The taste was basically the same adding a bit of biscuity fullness to the finish and adding a nice sweet aftertaste to it.
The palate was about a medium with a dry feel on my tongue, and a nice sessionability to it.
Overall, this is good for its style and for me, but nothing that is spectacular.

Thanksgiving day lunchtime warm up, bottle split at Christine and Daves thanks to DLJ, 28/11/13. Slightly obscured golden amber with a moderate off white covering that retains. Nose is caramel malt, bitter hop resonance, light trace of chlorine, bitter orange, grass. Taste comprises oange pith, caramel malt forward, lemon peel, touch of grpaefruit and pine resin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry grassy bitternss in the finale. Ok IPA - drinkable but not earth shattering.

12oz bottle from Wegman’s, King of Prussia, PA. A slightly hazy amber with a thin translucent head; rich floral hop aroma with a touch of citrus; the flavour is quite restrained at first, but then the hops kick in assertively giving an extremely dry finish with some warming alcohol. A pleasant IPA, not as extreme as some West Coast examples, but very drinkable.
