Draught, Rattle & Hum, 28 July 2009 Clear gold with thick foamy head. Burst of grapefruit aroma then rich grapefruit and grassy hoppiness with slight tangerine notes. Dry finish with bitterness on the tongue as the astringency dissipates. A good quenching Ipa, even at 6.3% ABV

I rated this beer just to move up the Blue Point top raters list, I actually haven’t rated the 2 most common brews. Fortunately, this is a beer I actually like and have had numerous samples over numerous years. This particular rate was on tap at Rattle’n’Hum, imperial pint to boot as well. Aroma is all hoppy (fruit punch and sweet bubblegum) and fresh. Flavor is similar with no malt getting in the way at all. Easy drinking stuff, good hop character with no flaws. I can see myself keep drinking this for years to come.

Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Cloudy copper colour, small head. Grapefruit aroma. Mid-sweet with clean mouthfeel, bready limp and hard crystallic malt, a bit of lemon and then a quick piney finish. More experimental than drinkable or tasty.

Had a draught pint at Sunswick tonight. Solid beer here. Of particular note was the frothy head, almost like whipped cream I thought. The nose was dominated by hops. Taste was mildly bitter. Complex without being obnoxious. Give it a whirl.

Bottle. Light amber with a nice, fluffy head. Light citrus, mainly grapefruit in the nose. Light flavor (at first). Gets a bit heavier with nice, not strong hops. Not great, but worth drinking.

This is really good. The nose is all blueberry, maybe more blueberry pancakes than simply the fruit. The taste is rich and pure blueberry, but not overbearing. I’ve had other fruit ales and they often have an artificial, obnoxious flavor to them. Not so with this brew from Blue Point. The berry flavor balances well with the yeasty flavor, making a truly delightful beer.

Overall Impression: A pretty run of the mill lager, it has some decent characteristics to it, but certainly nothing too special. It's a better then macro lager, but not too much more then that.

Location: I've had this one on tap and out of the bottle quite a few times. I've noticed quite a few places in Manhattan where this is the only IPA they have on tap, so if I'm out to dinner or grabbing a drink at one of those places, and I want an IPA, this is the one I get.
Overall Impression: This a pretty decent IPA, it's just not hoppy or flavorful enough to get much higher of a score then this, but it is a drinkable beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light translucent golden color with a white head. Aroma is malts, caramel, light sweetness. Flavor is a touch of lemon, malts - not much in terms of hops.
