Beer Review from 11/21/12, on tap at The Lark in East Northport, NY: pours a hazy orange amber color with a small off white head that faded on the fast side, leaving minimal spotty lacing.

Smells of malt, roasted grains, biscuit, caramel, spices, herbs, cardboard and wet wheat bread; very bready and like an English IPA.

Tastes like it smells, with malt, roasted grains, biscuit, caramel, spices like allspice and pepper, herbs like tea leaf, yeast/cardboard, pizza dough, and wet wheat bread; seems to be a cinnamon aftertaste lingering that tastes like wet cardboard and nothing like hops, so this was disappointing even if it is an English-style IPA as there should be some hops present.

Mouthfeel is tart and bitter, with a medium body, average carbonation and a grainy cardboard aftertaste.

This was way too malty to be an IPA as I like them, and a big letdown; even for an English IPA this just had no hop punch and lacked any real balance. Avoid unless you like malty cardboard flavor and bland English IPA’s.

On draft at The Lark, East Northport, NY.

Poured a light copper hue with a one finger foamy white head. There was good retention and lacing.

The smell featured a zesty herbal hop and healthy dose of caramel and diactyl.

The taste initially consisted of an earthy burnt caramel, buttery toast and soft diacytl but slowly developed a spicy hop element.

The mouthfeel was typical of the style.

Overall a tasty ENGLISH style IPA.

Poured with a slight haze with a nice head and good head retention. I got a very straight forward smell of malt- toffee - carmel and a hit of roasted malt. The hop aroma was more earthy as with faint citrus notes- as you should get from an all Fuggles ale . Bitterness was not as agressive up front as it was on the back end with a long lingering dryness. Hope flavor was again earthy-woody with a hint of citrus finish. If you aren't letting this beer warm up to at least 50 degrees prior to serving you are not getting all of the flavors and aromas from the beer. 55 is optimal serving temp for english style ales.

12 oz bottle poured into tulip glass. Date on bottle says best by Oct/12, so this should be in good form (I always worry about freshness when it comes to IPAs)

A) Slow pour, as head explodes into a formidable foamy four-finger in short order, takes a long time to dissolve and leaves prety nice lacing. Beer as a deep copper, quite pleasant looking.

S) More muted than I would like. A bit of the piney hops come through, some sweet malt smells and maybe an odd bit of raisin. Not unpleasant, just not forward.

T) Like smell, so goes the taste. Some malts, a hint of caramel and raisin. No citrus that I can detect. Some piney bitterness on the finish. I'm in no way qualified to distinguish between Fuggles and other sorts of hops.

M) Moderate/medium-bodied. A fair amount of carbonation. Decent amount of bitterness on finish and somewhat dry.

O) It's not bad, but it just doesn't have a lot of flavor.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Aroma: Easy to distinguish the English fuggles hops. Floral and bitter citrus. Also a moderate malt presende. Odd, smells like Munich malt.

Appearance: Deep orange / light brown. Moderate head is light tan. Great retention and intense lacing. Light haze.

Flavor: Definitely spot on with the English style IPA. Fuggle, but also a bit of sulfus in the aftertaste. This bottle is fresh, not sure where that came from. Malt is mild and bitter, definitely like the Munich variety, but not typical malt profile for an IPA.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body, moderate carbonation is felt on the tongue. Slick and oily, finishes about neutral.

Overall: Regreshing brew even on a very hot day. Nice balance of hops and malt.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Poured from tap into a pint.

Appearance: A slightly cloudy amber color with a small amount of white head that did not last long.

Smell: Sweet flowery type smell, I think. Honestly the smell was not what I expected from any IPA, could not nail down the smell, but it smelled good.

Mouthfeel/Taste: Medium to light bodied and surprisingly smooth. Taste was on the lighter side with a mild sweetness and good bitterness with it. Although I could taste the alcohol.

Overall: Very refreshing and enjoyable IPA. Haven't seen this one around much, but I will keep my eye out so I can have it again.
