An American style IPA, brewed with American and New Zealand hops added continuously throughout the boil giving an aroma with notes of tropical fruit and citrus. The balance of hops and malt body make this the ideal year-round IPA.

12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, Jersey City. Pours a hazy orange with a thick, foamy off-white head and some sticky, foamy lacing. Aroma of orange, caramel, and bread, bit of a floral note as well. Lighter on the hop bitterness, light sweet, Light body as well. Not a ton here, but what's there works fine. Doesn't hold up to the high level of flavor a lot of others are getting out IPAs these days through. Decent.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy Amber orange color. Large rocky white head. Subtle fragrant citrus hops in nose. Caramel malt blends with grassy hops to provide a sharp pleasant taste profile. Fairly light in the hops as IPA’s go. Tasty, none the less.

Rosie’s Pizza, Penn Station NYC bottle: pours copper with white head. Herbal and lightly fruity aromy. First taste ain’t bad but I got kind of bored of it as it kept going. Not a bad beer.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange to brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Light foamy rings rise and fall gracefully.
The smell started off with a sharp citrus rind and led to a decent citrus/grapefruit/apricot aroma. As it warms, there’s a slight grassiness in it.
The taste was moderately bitter, with a sharp bittering to contrast but not necessarily combined. There’s a quick dry tropical fruity aftertaste that leads to a dry fruity finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed good for the style and for me as it gave off a decent sharpness.
Overall, this was an okay AIPA. I could have probably have again.
