On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has notes of earthy pine and earthy citrus with a grain backbone. Flavor has light citrus and earthy pine with some sweet grains.

Tap at American Sky. Copper tan body. massive frothy, steady off-white head. Balanced, big, sort of standard US pub fare. Some rindy citrus, but leans more into the caramel malts. OK, but standard and forgettable.

On tap @ the brewery in Hudson. Pours a fairly clear golden orange appearance with a white head. Orange/tropical fruity, a bit spicy hoppy aroma. Somewhat bitter, floral, grapefruity, orange, mango fruity flavor. Decent.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Again, either an old or infected bottle. This is the third gusher I’ve had from them. Pours a dark, dirty caramel color. Aroma of skanky malt and some pine hops. Taste is medium bitter. Hints of pine resin and a little caramel. Full bodied with a thick and slightly sticky texture. Fizzy carbonation and way too long of a finish. The finish is straight pine sap. Overall, meh. Boozy warmth is nice, but everything else is bad. There is also some weird chemical aftertaste. Regardless of wether or not it’s an old bottle, I’m done with this company. 3 different bottles of 3 different brands have all been gushers, and I’m not about to seek out a 4th.

Courtesy & thx! to Benzai. Sampled small bottle @ the some people are tired tasting. Hotel post day #1 @ Borefts 2013. American Sky USA IPA? How American can you be? Hazy amber with a white head. Sweet oily nose, candy sugar, oily herbs, some bitter herbs,… taste is oily bitter, chestnuts, malts, big malts, chunk of rye bread light candy sugar, oily chestnuts, finish is pretty bitter, very floral bitter. Okay but too much malt, rye bread in here for an IPA.

Sampled from bottle @ the some people are tired tasting (after borefts 2013 day 1). Clear dark orange color, medium sized quickly diminishing off - white head that leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma is malts, hops, a bit sweetish. Taste malts, hops, some sweetness, pretty bitter. Once you’ve swallowed you get a nice mix of malts, hops and bitter but before that it seems off balance somehow. Wonder how this tastes fresh / straight from the origin.

Wow, can’t believe that I’m only the 4th to review this...12 oz bottle bought @ De Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Copper to brown color, slightly hazy. Uneven off white head. Aroma’s: citrus, tropical fruit, caramel with some hop bitterness and roasted malts added retronasal. Flavor is rather bitter with a malty sweet backbone. Medium bodied. Long bitter finish. Nice IPA.
