Description
OCB has been hitting, hopping and dosing brews with creativity since acid-washed jeans were hip β throwing a bit of kind into the kettle whenever possible. Look for our hop-soaked ales and delicious lagers around New England and the mid-Atlantic.
Acquired by Long Trail in 2010 with the brewing facility eventually sold to Whistle Pig. Currently operating as a brand owned and marketed by Harpoon.

OK, so its not as mouth coating as an IPA. However, even tho it starts out rather light and mild, it evolves into a sharp hop bitter thing that lasts for a while after the session ends. Yes, Iβve tasted IPA that were less rude htan this little powder keg.

12oz bottle from Orchard Fresh, Orchard Park, NY. An awful looking beer, hazy orange and looking like gruel as itβs full of suspended particles that could be finings or fruit zest - after standing for about half an hour there was a least a quarter of an inch of sediment at the bottom of the glass, and still more to settle; the pleasant mandarin aroma at least tempted me to have a sip of this; in the mouth it has a pleasant grapefruit bitterness, with some coriander in the background; but in the end it went down the drain.

12 oz. bottle, cloudy gold with light head retention. Aroma is lightly dank, hemp, light pine and light grass. Flavor runs right along with the nose.
Body has pale grain base with the grassy hops upfront with a nice citrus burst mid-sip, leading into a pine finish. The body is medium with a lively tingle over the tongue. Texture is lightly oily. Extremely easy drinking APA.
