Fisherman’s IPA is an India Pale Ale handcrafted by the docks of America’s oldest seaport, Gloucester, Massachusetts. Made with the finest imported 2-row barley and a healthy helping of Chinook and Sorachi Ace hops, this is a remarkable well-balanced version of this style and should not be missed.…

Deep orange-tinted amber coloured body with a very thin off-white head. Aroma of fresh citrus and pieny hops with a blast of caramel and lemons in the nose too. Medium-bodied; Nice full taste of Pacific Northwest hops in the taste, fading to pine and a pleasant bitterness. Aftertaste shows a little bit of sugars, but mainly the hops come out and stay nicely. Overall, a suprisingly decent IPA - worth sampling at least! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 15 July 2006 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Courtesy of GMCC2181. 12oz bottle pours up orange - copper with thin off white head. The mild aroma comes off as roasty with just a bit of pine hop character. The taste begins with roasted malts and pine hop bitterness and moves towards a little nuttiness and faint butterscotch. Midway and to the finish the roasted malts and pine hop bitterness alternately surge forward and back again in strength. It leaves a tasty hop bitterness and mild roasted malt note behind in the after taste favoring the hops.

Cask at GBBF 08. Reddish brown with lasting beige head. Fruity IPA, with a hoppy aroma. Maybe a bit thin in the mouth, lacks oomph, body and depth. OK leafy hop. Quite watery actually. Some peachy apricot fruit.
