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.

Another beer courtesy of the legendary woodychandler. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a caramel color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is hoppy, some pine. Taste is also big on hops, some mint, pine, bitter and dry, no real malts to speak of. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a mediocre beer.

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.
