On draft at Shorty's, NYC.

Poured a medium copper hue with a one finger frothy white head cthere was good retention and very good lacing.

The smell featured balmy tropical hops with a slight pininess.

The taste was an upfront in your face hop assault consisting of a resinous tropical fruit hop element that was cleaned up by a touch of pine. Nice round malts supported the hefty hoppiness.

The mouthfeel was typical of the style.

Overall a very well made hop bomb.

Originally had Eastern Standard last October at the old PB brewpub; bought a Grumbler fill yesterday, and so it was my second time having it. Both aroma and color were substantially different than I'd remembered.

Appearance: Deep amber, very dark for an IPA. Color is almost a dead ringer for Alpha King.

Smell: Surprised to see so many note citrus flavors; I got almost none. Again, nose reminded me of Alpha King.

Taste: Not to beat a dead horse here, but if you've never had Alpha King, Peekskill's Eastern Standard is your east coast version of it. Hop flavor fairly subdued for an IPA, drinks considerably more like a hopped-up amber -- think Nugget Nectar.

Mouthfeel: Full-bodied for an IPA

Overall: Just as Three Floyds purposely mislabels Alpha King an APA when it is really an IPA, I'm not sure Eastern Standard is an IPA as much as an Amber or Imperial Amber. It's a very good beer, but I wouldn't come in expecting a classic citrusy hop bomb.

From 04/15/13 notes.

a - Pours a hazy golden orange color with two inches of bright white head and moderate carbonation evident,

s - Smells of tropical fruits, citrus hops, grapefruit, lemon, floral hops, citra, fruity malts, and some earthy notes. Super hoppy and fresh nose; really an awesome mix of tropical fruits and hops. Loving it.

t - Tastes of citrus hops, lemon, grapefruit, oranges, tropical fruits, fruity malts, floral hops, lightly bitter hops, herbal notes. Not too bitter; not quite as great as the nose but still really good.

m - Medium body and low ot moderate carbonation. Light bitter bite but not much at all.

o - Overall a really great IPA; nose is great and full of fresh hops and tropical fruits. Easy to drink; one of the better east coast IPA's I've had (especially not from Vermont). Have heard good things about Peekskill and their first beer impressed me a lot. Looking forward to having more of their beers.

Bright golden-yellow in color, you don't expect this beer to be as aromatic at first pour, but it is. This beer's hops showcase more floral notes than than citrus, and that's a pleasant change from the ordinary. While I consider it a conservative IPA, the flavor has winks of greatness, depsite being mild by today's harsh IPA standards. The finish is clean, light, and memorable when so many other 'easy-going' IPAs aren't.

It's my first experience with Peekskill, and it was a great choice amoungst a sea of hipsters drinking PBRs.

Thanks merc for sharing

The beer pours an orange golden color with a thin blanketing of a white head. Great grapefruit hop nose with a touch if grain and booze. The taste is considerably balanced and drinkable, hop forward, citrusy, touch of grain backbone - reminds me of daisy cutter. Great, drinkable, malty IPA with a mild, citrusy hop profile and appropriately lingering bitterness. Very tasty, very drinkable IPA that hits the spot.

Man Peekskill Brewery really kicking it up! Great IPA that pours clear and golden - looks a lot thinner than it tastes/smells. Nose is full of floral hops right away. Taste really surprises - packed with hops from the first sip. Rides the line b/w bitterness and sweetness perfectly. Malt flavors throughout along with complex hops.

Great addition to the PB lineup - looks like they are trying for broad distribution which is great news for all us hopheads! Great addition to the burgeoning Hudson Valley beer scene

Whew! This is an IPA! Strong pine and salty tones. Lots of resin. The hop bitterness just attacks your tongue. Intense, thorough, unrelenting. This is a hop head's wet dream. Carbonation is high and biting. Sip and savor this one. And FYI - the brewery doesn't wan't growlers being filled of any of their beers.
