Pours a slightly hazy red orange color with a pillowy white head that sticks around for a bit. Smells of citrus, I pick up tangerines, some mineral aromas and some brown sugar and caramel. Taste is malty, mineraly, with a slight citrus hop bite. Some sweet malt is there with more of that brown sugar coming through. Leaves a lingering hop and mineral bite in the dry finish. Mouthfeel is a bit thin as is the body. The carbonation is a bit on the low side I think. Not a bad brew, but their are certainly better IPA's out there. This one while not flawed is simply unremarkable.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2008, gravity dispense. Copper coloured beer, minimal head. Nice hoppy aroma and flavour, notes of blackcurrants.

A classic IPA from a great little brewery in Gloucester. It has a nice amber tint with a frothy head that is reminiscent of sea foam. As you sit outside at the Cape Ann Brewery's tap room looking out at the fishing boats come in an out of port, it just makes the beer taste even better. Nothing too extraordinary, but has some flavor with hoppy and floral notes. A great beer to drink outside near the ocean.

A: very hazy - almost murky; a dull burnt orange in color; 1 finger khaki head that receded to a thin collar; nice lacing;

S: quite malty; citrus and earthy also;

T: a little more hop character here than in the aroma, but this is not a hop forward beer; what hop presence there is
is mostly citrus; finish is mild to moderately bitter;

M: medium bodied' moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish;

O: I would have scored this higher if they called it an English IPA, but as a West Coast IPA, it's not that good;
