12oz bottle from Wegmans, West Seneca, NY. Golden amber with a thin white head; aroma of grassy hops; slightly sour grain body; with a sweet malty finish. Pleasant enought, but not what I recognise as an English Ale.

Bottle @ home via the ol’ rot box. Pours a black appearance with a dark brown head. Burnt roasted malty nose with chocolate, some char, smoke, light coffee, and a fair amount of anise. Medium full body. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. More anise, piney hops, and dark chocolate in the flavor. Fairly smooth. Not sure I’m crazy about the flavor but it’s ok.

12oz bottle from Orchard Fresh, Orchard Park, NY. An amber pour with a tight cream head; strangely malty aroma for an IPA; estery, pear-drop taste; and a rather thin body; then a fresh dry finish, with some lingering herbal hops. Not at all what I was expecting, very different from the usual American IPA.
