Andrew Maxwell put over 1.5 decades of recipe development into this India Pale Ale, creating the fourth dimension of flavor. Combining four varities of hops produces a unique beer that has an aggressive hop flavor, bite and aroma without denying the presence of malt which I.P.A.s often lack.

Golden honey in color with a slight haze. Poured with a short, rich white foam that slowly reduced to a wispy cap that left sheets of sticky lacings on the glass. Malty grain, biscuit, earthy grass and light orange citrus hop aromas in the background. A bit light on hop character for an IPA. On the lighter side of medium bodied with pleasant, creamy, rich carbonation. Biscuity malt up front with floral and light citrus hops to the end. Finishes with a piney hop aftertaste. A local brew with lots of potential. Needs a bit more hop aroma and a touch more hop bite through the middle to be a true American IPA. If there was such thing as a German IPA, this may qualify.

A middling IPA - worth a try but probably not one you'll return too. Aggressive hop profile but a recognizable malt presence. This one has a bit more of an earthy tone to it. An orange brown color, with the earthy aroma coming through.

Went back to this style and really found i missed the east coat ipa. Big bitter cut with really sweet malt. Still looking for that hop presence but really enjoyed it vs the ne ipa

Poured into a custom shaped grip glass: color is amber, transparent, head is light tan with a very dense texture and presentation of at least 1 inch; head laces well.

Smell is neutral hops and light toasted malts: hops are earthy, herbal; malts are less noticeable in terms of aroma.

Taste is similar with a neutral grain flavor and herbal, earthy hop mix - simple, drinkable.

Mouthfeel is moderate with crisp carbonation and moderate bitterness.

Overall a good more herbal, earthy style ipa.

It has the aroma more of a wheat beer than an ipa, with cloves and just a very bland hop aroma in the background. It has more of a citra hop bend to it, but I got a spoiled mango / tropical fruit flavor going on with it. Something was off with this one for sure.
