This English-style IPA has you diving into its fresh floral and citrus aroma right from the start. This well balanced brew leaves a noticeably smooth finish.

Bottle at Chriso tasting (thanks Chris) 18/11/12. Lightly hazed golden with a thin white head. Subdued nose, some apple notes, light hops, a little piss. Tastes of hops, but again no big hit, fruits, a little caramel. Medium bodied with light spritzy carbonation. Pretty average IPA, a little on the bland side - wouldn’t revisit.

Bottle at the cabin, NH. Pours clear, classic gold with a moderate, white foam head. Nose holds lots of sugary malts, hints of honey and straw. Flavor is medium to heavy sweet with some strong orange, light marmalade, light bitterness of juicy hay, hints of lightly toasted sugars, very faint pine, light dough. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Sticky finish mostly from sugars, not much resinous hops, more deep and sweet citrus, lightly ripened, pervasive bready malts, hints of caramel. It’s just too damn sugary sweet, with not nearly enough bitterness to offset. I’ve noticed this characteristiv in several of the Lefty’s beers, where it seems like not all of the sugars have been fermented out. I’ll have to try these fellas again next time I’m in MA to see if the beers have improved.

22oz bottle-pours a big foamy light tan head with hazy gold color (once the full bottle is poured. The carbonation is way high (probably around 3volumes). I will rate this after having swirled out much of the excess carbonation. Aroma is fruit-peach/mango, light malt. Taste is fruit-peach/mango/pine hops, sweet light malt. Maybe I should adjust to 1.0 to offset IPAdad and earthtones.

Bottle shared by jcwattsrugger. Pours cloudy gold with big white head. Way overcarbonated. Nose of tropical fruit, sea salt, mango, guava and peach. Taste is almost all fizz with those same flavors in body. Once it settles, it tastes like a dry salted mango and is quite delicious. Medium body.
