Hazy gold orange ale with an overfoaming white head (contaminated?). Sweet herbal aroma, with not much hops or citrus to be found. Good malt base with a fairly harsh hop character, with loads of grapefruit but a unpleasant metallic finish muddles the whole thing. Not my type of IPA.

This starts with a large off-white head over a clear, medium amber body. Decent hop aroma, somewhat floral but not heavily done. Fairly well balanced but still somewhat restrained for an IPA. Needs more hops, malt and body to really shine.

Aroma of apricots. Taste of apricots. On top of a wheat beer. Very smooth and sweet. Refreshing summer beer with nice carbonation probably best drunk cold and quick.

Draft. Copper, somewhat cloudy appearance. Fruity malt seemed more dominant than hops in both aroma and flavor. Nice carbonation that adds a prickly feel to the palate. Easy sipping, refreshing, but hops not as advertised.

Bottle: Poured orangey color ale with a huge bubbly head with better then average retention. Aroma is comprised solely of floral hops reminiscent of West Coast hops but with added earthiness. Taste is medium sweet with some lingering bitterness as this beer hits the back of your palate. There is some ‘’earthy’’ feeling that I can’t quite put a name on that doesn’t fit too well with this beer but since it is not too dominant it does not ruin this beer. Great imperial IPA.

Golden ale with a nice c-hop aroma and apple notes. Sweet malt with resinous hops and light citrus. Lemon notes. Medium bodied. Thanks Mike.

Has the appearance, carbonation and strong sweetness of a cola - if it weren’t for the smoke flavor, you might be able to fool me - smoke-flavored pepsi is the best description of this beer.

Hazy orange body, medium/thin off-white head. Earthy hops and biscuity, toasty malts in the aroma. Tangy body, bready, with earthy, musty hops. Like the description states, there is a unique fruity quality to this IPA. Really not all that hoppy for the style. Unique, decent. Thanks Dan (jah noth) for the bottle!

Fairly clear copper body, medium light cream head. Tangy, somewhat caramely aroma with piney, earthy hops. Toasty body, sweet, caramely, and a touch tangy, with a nice balance of earthy hops. Not too bitter; this is on the tangier, fruitier side of IPAs. Full mouthfeel and finish. As the beer warms the rather substantial malt bill really begins to shine with big caramels and dark fruit; my Munich sensor is beeping. Thanks Dan (jah noth) for the bottle!

On tap at Clarke’s Ale House...3.25$! Red copper ale with a small white head. Light floral hops aroma, but not much else. Decent malts, lots more hops but short finish. Light body, lacks in character.
