Bottle. Yet another IPA. Amber color. Big head. Grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit flavor. I wish another style would get popular.

Bottle at home in Salisbury. Pours clear copper-orange with a fine, foamy white head. Nose holds caramel, some berries, bread. Medium sweetflavor with sugary bread, mild leafy bitterness, further caramel, ripe berries. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish with lightly toasted bread and caramel, some dirty leaves, ripe berries and other fruits. Lightly astringent but not terrible overall.

Deep amber coloured body with hints of mahogany and a thick, three centimetre tall tan head - I wish I could say that it didn’t look good, but it does. Aroma of pale malt, cardboard, pool water, earth, toffee, nuts and a bit of super light english hops. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent earthy and toffee sweetness with a little bitterness, although not seemingly from the hops - just from the metal. Aftertaste shows a bit more caramel and toffee notes with some hints of earth and the tiniest amount of hops. Overall, I knew this wouldn’t be anywhere close to an American IPA, but this one was just bad, even by british standards. Not really worth searching out, unless you want to see a poorly executed attempt at an IPA. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Wegman’s in Sterling, Virginia on 03-May-2013 for US$1.67 sampled at home in Washington on 22-July-2013.

12oz bottle pours with a crystal clear copper body and gold edges supporting a thin white head. The aroma offers up some biscuit like malts, a faint whiff of fruity esters, earthy minerals and a hop note maybe (well, somehow I’m not sure I’m smelling any hops). The taste, at times, seems like a hopped up standard Bass Ale with mineral notes, a light roasted maltiness, biscuit malts and before the expected Bass Ale sweetness kicks in this one gets bitter with pine hops to pine nuanced grapefruit citrus hops. The sweeter malty side of this beer brings back memories of beer drinking in the early 90’s but this is also bringing a pleasing hoppiness too. Cool experience.

Pours deep clear gold into a shaker. Off-white head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Dusty caramel and sour resin aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and sourdough upfront turning to mild earthy bitterness in the medium length finish.

Smells like really old malt liquor in a can. Taste is big dull rudeness. Taste is much larger than 6%. Not your typical fresh American ipa fer sure, think old world. Almost cloying at times.Difficult finish. Not impressed.

Pours a clear deep golden color with a decent sized white head that persists. Smells of earthy hops and aged malts. The flavor holds caramel and brown sugar mixed with a hints of dark fruits a bit of earth and sulfur. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick somewhat bitter mouthfeel. Pedestrian IPA even for an English version. I could drink this, but with so many better choices, why would I?

It poured a gentle light amber yielding the same color body. Though a clear body, no carbonation was seen rising. A soft foamy hilly one inch head formed and slowly concaved into the body. Lacing was left in rings around the pint glass. The smell was malts up front, hops very subdued in a slightly soapy bland sort of sense. The taste was the same and coming across in the same bland sort of way. The palate was light with some mediocre sharpness around the tongue, and a bland stickiness. This was extremely drinkable. Overall, it was very bland all around, not one that I would come back to.

Pour is a clear copper with a small whtie head. Aroma is of some minor hops with a minor malt. Flavor is ultra bitter but with no real appearant hop. Some caramel malt is there. If there ever was a corporate IPA this would be it. Cut rate ingrediants and made for the masses.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a dark burnt orange/amber with a thin bit of white head. Very weak aroma of light citrus and a little caramel malt. Taste is light bitter. Pine and citrus with a little malt. Light bodied with a thin watery texture. Almost no carbonation but a decently long finish, all things considered. Overall, its ok. Nothing super special but drinkable.
