Notes:
Real India Pale Ale (IPA), as it was first brewed in the days of the British Empire, was not the carefully filtered brew that we call IPA beer today. The first IPAs were unfiltered and featured extra hops and higher strength as a preservative for the long trip from England to the colony of India. Our Traditional IPA ale is naturally carbonated, dry-hopped & unfiltered like the old days.

12 oz brown bottle with no freshness date.
A- Pours a bright and clear true golden liquid, nice lacing as it leaves several rings down the glass.
S- Mild citrus peel, blond tobacco and deep herbal from the hops ... tad earthy from the yeast with a sweet malt in the back.
T&M- So smooth and sufficiently crisp in the medium body. Oily hop comes thick but soft with herbal, tobacco and mild citrus. Biscuity malt is a solid base for the hops. Touch of fruitiness and nutty yeast middle to end. Finishes slightly dry with a lingering herbal hop.
D- An all around good beer, I'd like to see it more often ... a richer flavor than their regular IPA. Very easy to drink, a glass full of hoppy joy.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Presentation: 12oz brown bottle with a clearly marked freshness date.
Appearance: Golden/amber with frothy lace of a head.
Smell: Esters, ripe fruitiness with malt sweetness and hop aroma.
Taste: Smooth mouthfeel with an up-front combination of malt sweetness, light caramel notes and semi-sharp, almost lemony hop bitterness, that leaves the palate with an oily/raw hop flavour.
Notes: I've reviewed this brew before, and made mention that the hops overwhelms the malt. It still holds true. This brew, by no means, is a bad brew. It's simply that the hops selected for this brew tend to dominate, snuff out a nice malt profile, and linger too long. Still very much worth a try.

A clear golden orange in color with a thin offwhite head. Aromas of fresh honey and citrus rind. Taste is a perfumy sweet flower flavor up front, then some water cracker, then a lemony, minty hop finish. Mouthfeel is good. Overall a nice ipa that I would get again.

On tap at jamian's in red bank. Arrives in a long trail pint glass. Copper color, no head. I Aroma is Decently earthy hoppy, appropriate for an English style ipa.
Flavor is a well balanced malt hop mix with a faint buttery aftertaste. Nothing too exciting going on, but enjoyable. Mild lingering bitterness. Overall a pretty decent offering but nothing I'd go out of my way to order again. Would prefer more hop flavor.
