11/23/2011 bottle into a tulip glass.

A - Dark copper/amber body, clear with a lot of carbonation and bubbling. 2 finger white head formed and stuck around for a while. Great lacing and retention too.

S - Starts off with the hops. Piney and citrusy, just a very classical basic hop aroma. This is followed by the malts. Biscuity with some faint sweet caramel.

T - Same as the nose. Begins with piney hops that are just barely fruity. Next is sweet biscuity malts. The hops are light but provide a nice bitter finish. Very well balanced and tame. Almost medium mouth feel with nice carbonation.

O - Its a great example of the east coast IPA. The hops and malts are nice and balanced and I could actually session this beer. Its not the best out there, but its really damn good. This beer is one of my favorites, even when its a month old. After messing around with sam adam sampler packs, this was the beer that drove the nail into the craft coffin for me. I will always enjoy this one.

Light orange beer with a slight haze and a nice 2 finger thick white head with pretty good retention. Tight small bubbles of lace with every sip that drop back to the beer pretty quick for the most part but leaves some spotty shapes around the glass Some grain in the nose, balanced well with hops. The hop aromas are light citrus, and floral. Malty up front in the taste. Caramel. Good balance with the hops. Little bitterness and drying effect towards the finish. Medium body and mouthfeel. Good ammount of bite. Refreshing well balanced beer. This seems like a nice session IPA, especially on a hot summer day.
