Bottled in Saratoga. Some decent hop aroma and a bit of malts but nothing amazing here.

Slightly hazy copper coloured body with a good, two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of light grassy and herbal hops, some malt, a little flowers and a touch of cardboard. Light to Medium-bodied; Good herbal and grassy hoppy flavour at first with a little mellow maltiness, some light sweetness and a pungent stale and slightly offensive hoppy flavour. Aftertaste shows some discrete bitterness, a touch of an earthy bite from the malt and some off-flavours that might stem from some inferior ingredients. Overall, not a horrible IPA, but not one worthy of searching out. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage for US$7.36 for a 6-pack on 18-November-2011 sampled at home in Washington on the day the NY Giants won the Super Bowl, 05-Feburary-2012.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a nice pine note with a hint of citrus and a good amount of bread. Flavor starts with pine but transfers to more of a grain and bread finish. Meh.

A hazed dark amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, an intense vinous caramel malt with good c-hops, herbal, clove field, quite nice. In mouth, a classic hopped up IPA with grapefruit finale, sustained c-hops, a bit musty but good.
