Notes from March 2011 Poured into a Sam Adams less then perfect pint glass. Tight inch of off-white head. Light orange-amber body. Touch of chill haze. Minimal lace. Smell is intense with pine resin, harsh citrus rind, & sticky sweet/doughy malt. I like it, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be dry enough at first. Taste is much more balanced. Sweet, gritty grain & interesting citrus upfront. Dry/sharp, piny middle. Lingering herbage. Boozy, astringent finish. Toasty grain feel. Not too thick or sweet. Difficult alcohol. Maybe one more. ;)

Pours a deep copper color with a large head that leaves some lacing as it fades. The aroma is heavy with hops, piney with some tropical fruit. The flavor is aggressively bitter with piney and somewhat fruity hops. There’s a big malt backbone that adds sweetness and a long resinous hop finish. Alcohol is buried. Excellent.

Pours lightly hazy gold with a big off white head. It has a mild aroma with citrus and malt. The flavor is moderately bitter with a little citrus and toasted grainy malt. It tastes like many session IPAs. I see the abv at least fits that style. It’s okay though underwhelming. I checked the date on the bottom of the can and verified that it’s from this year’s release (July 2024).

Pours hazy pale yellow with a lingering one finger head. It smells very citrusy. The flavor is citrusy and juicy with light malty sweetness, mild bitterness, and some hop resin. It’s better than I expected for the style.

now rebranded a Fall IPA - pretty sure I've had before, but a classic IPA that hits the spot

This brew smells of cranberries and spruce. The flavor is pretty tart with berries, malt, spruce tips, and a little spicy yeast character. Interesting and enjoyable.
