IPA is profoundly hoppy, finished with over a pound of fresh whole hops per barrel. The result of this generous hopping is a beer that is deliciously dry, and eminently drinkable in spite of its apparent strength.

Hazy dark golden color with a off white head. Floral, citric and mild resin in the aroma. Medium (+) body and an average carbonation. Tad sweet and a fine bitterness. Citric, toffee and some resin in the flavor. Decent tasty ale.

Bottle from Harvest Market, Bedford NH. Aroma is resinous hops over bready malts. Appearance is clear gold with three finger-width frothy white head with good retention, good lacing and excellent sparkle. Taste is interplay of light sweet malt with mild bitter. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, average carbonation and dry balanced sweet/bitter finish. Overall, a beer with surprising balance given its hoppy description.

Flaska från Craftbeer/Galatea. Bärnstensfärgad med ett medelhögt krämigt smutsvitt skum. Doft av söt grape, nektar och en lite jordig ton. Relativt stiltypisk västkust-IPA i sm håller sig i mittfåran. Ganska söt, karamell, butterscotch, shortbread, grape, lite jordig humle som väl är det enda som sticker ut lite. Relativt torr avslutning, måttlig beska. Trevlig

Bottle - Earthy hops and some pale malts with a bit of cardboard. Clear gold with a rich white head. Sweet pale malts and earthy hops with a bitter finish. Much like an English style IPA.

Bottle, Beer Moth, Manchester. Copper coloured pour with a meek white head. Citrus, tropical fruit and some hop present in the nose. Biscuity malts, piney hop, minerals and a slight metallic tang in the flavour which lets it down.A bit thin and lacked any real oomph. Disappointingly unremarkable and probably not worth bringing 1,000s of miles across the pond frankly.

Bottle. StarmoreBoss, Sheffield. Clear gold. Thin, sticky, white head. Quite grassy. Sweet, toffee malt. Green hop. Taste is dry, and woody, light earthy bitter. Full body. Good level of carbonation. Finishes grassy, pithy, long bitter. Maybe lacking a vibrancy, but it has racked up a few air miles. Still enjoyed this, though.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a touch ofamber and a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces slightly. Aroma has earthy pine and grass with a grain backbone. Flavor has more of a bitter citrus and pine combination that is backed by a bit of light earthy grains.

Bottle from Toft Vin, Copenhagen - golden amber coloured pour with a good white head. Fruity and malty aroma and taste with some light caramel, some subtle tropical and citrus hoppy notes, some orange, peach, pretty thin body and easy drinking, feels more like a apa overall. Still decent enough overall.
