Dark amber color. Nice hop rich smell. Head is kind poor, but other than that it leaves a nice lace. Beautiful pour. Pretty malty for an ipa, but its nice. On the heavier side. Really solid beer from a small brewery that I have never had a bad beer from.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5

A - Looks of a fairly clear deep amber brown with a 1/4 inch of sticky head that seems to be fed with constant bubbles. Nice lacing.
S - Smells of floral and citrus hops, some bready malts, and a touch of pine.
T - Has a good hop bite, some metallic notes but not very offensive, and pine hops seem to cling to the palate after the finish. It's pretty balanced but not the greatest IPA.
M - Medium bodied, somewhat chewy, not bad.

Overall this is a pretty good IPA but it just seems middle of the road. Seems crafted well enough though.

Look - Pours hazy amber with a slight, soapy head. Good lacing.

Smell - Bittersweet English malts with a hoppy overlay. Caramel is present as well.

Taste - Bitter hops, bitter malts, then more hops. Dry and hoppy.

Mouthfeel - Rests bitter and chewy malts. Decent drinkability, a bit grainy here.

Overall - Not a bad brew. I can see how it would have been more of a Winter seasonal. The English hops and malt are a bit bitter for my palette. Could have used a slight bit more creaminess to offset the dry. Was too malty for an IPA.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A - Dark amber, one finger head with some sediment

S - Fresh pine, grapefruit as well as malty chocolate

T - Pretty dry from start to finish with a slight pucker and shorter linger than most IPAs. Chocolaty malt comes through but quickly gives way to citrusy hops. Pretty straight forward but solid IPA.

M- Medium mouthfeel with some sharp carbonation.

O - That little bit of malt is what won me over. A milder, but still in your face American Hop presence with a malty English IPA shout out. You really need to try this if you are in the North Country. You won't be disappointed.
