Consumed at the brewery on June 28th, 2012. Reviewed from notes.
A clear medium golden draft with a very fine, small white head.
Oddly, no aroma. Served too cold, perhaps?
Crystal malts upfront, followed a split second later by indistinct bitterness. Slightly herbal hop flavor.
A little thick and mildly parching, which seems to be a sort of house style with this brewery.
Perfectly acceptable IPA but nothing to write home about.

It has been years since I've had this beer...last time was in a bottle...fresh growler was nice to have.
A-clean golden look...smaller head, but I'm rating this on a pour hours after breaking the seal
S-Citrus and a bit 'butterscotch...sweet smell
T-floral and citrus bitterness with a sweet malt backbone. Very pleased with the balance of the beer. I shared with others during a brew session/tasting session and many agreed
M-carbonation was good and smooth going down
O-so glad I got this...and have a friend to get my growler filled for me a few times a month...will see how I like it after a few more growlers. Happy to see a IPA/DIPA confused IPA that goes down well...mm

Had never heard of Seabright until this session. Pours a yellow ale with a nice white foamy head with staying power. Lemon zest and more citrus in the aroma with some maltiness in the air. A rather unexpected spicy taste to this with a lot of malt going on. Too much for my liking. Bitter aftertaste. I think this was a little confused at what it wants to be. An IPA? DIPA? Not sure but was not impressed unfortunately.

toasted character in the nose, toasted malt, biscuits, malted character. gold in color, just over 60 ipu's. well balanced beer with enough hoppy bite to settle the malt character. website states beer is approximately 7.4% abv. i wouldn't order again, seems a little upside down for what i'm looking for in an ipa.

This beer has a nice amber hue but my pint at the brewery no less and absolutely no head. The carbonation was fine once I had a sip but no head, no lace, no nothing. I found this to be slightly hoppy but less than I expected for the usual profile. Drinkability was average for the ABV.

(Sampler at brewpub) Blur IPA pours bright gold with a fluffy white head. It's a light color for an IPA. It has a complex and medicinal aroma. The body is medium and smooth. The flavor is dominated by grapefruit peel, but it's not overly bitter. Not quite what I'd think of when I think of an IPA, but no faults to speak of. I like it.

On tap at the brewpub. 6 oz. sample. Gold color with a wispy white head. Leaves tons of lacing. Soapy hop aroma. Lemony bitterness with caramel malt underpinning. Kinda tastes like an old IPA that has gone downhill, but it's from the tap! Average palate.
