Great really chunky, hazy amber and copper coloured body with a muddy amber glow and a thick dense creamy tan head - great looking. Aroma of nice fresh hops, tons of pineapple, a bit of pine, some malt and yeast with a touch of unfinished wort. Medium-bodied; Assertive piney and pineapple flavoured hops with a touch of resin and a good mild sweetness. Aftertaste is nice and complex with a good balance of hops and malt with a nice pleasant and not overly dry hop finish. Overall, a very nice complex IPA with a good balance and a nice west coast hop profile. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Colonial Spirits in Acton, Massachusetts on 23-September-2010 sampled at home in Washington on 20-May-2011.

0.33L bottle, big stable head with lots of lacing, very dark orange with lots of brownish taints and a little hazy, yeasty cheesy aroma with some fruity and spicy notes, strong mellow hrebal bitterness, with hints of nuts and grapefruit, longish bitter aftertaste. A drinkable IPA.

0.33L bottle, medium stable head with quite a lot of lacing, very hazy deep orange colour, aroma of bread, peach and apricot, flavour, sweetish malt and fruit with a persistent herbal bitterness. Nice and pleasant.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Hazy amber color with a big bubbly white head. Citrusy hops aroma with some pine needles and a bit of slightly biscuity malt. Bitter hoppy flavor with a bit of malt sweetness and caramel. Strong, lingering, slightly spicy, bitter piney finish with some grapefruit. Medium-bodied. Not bad, but quite unbalanced.

From Matt at 3R6P. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy yellow color with a huge foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left some lacing. The aroma was clove. lemon, bubblegum and an unfortunate sulfuric undertone. The flavor was dry and tart with notes of chalk, cardboard and lemon with a strong medicinal and sulfuric presence that overwhelmed. The finish was unfortunately long. Medium body. Unpleasant.

From Matt at 3R6P. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy orange-amber color with a small tan head that faded quickly and left minimal lacing. The aroma was tart and bitter fruity hops. The flavor was crisp bitter fruity and floral hops with light notes of caramel and nut underneath. The finish was medium length with caramel and floral hops lingering. Medium body. Drinks better than the sum of it’s parts.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark oblique brown. Small white head, little lace. Lively carbonation. Full of sediment that you can just barely make out through the murkiness. . Flavor is lightly sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of malt, roast, hops, resin, light nuts, slight rye, and a hint of chocolate. This brew has a level of complexity. And as a whole, Ipswich is a fine brewery!
