Nose of toasted grain, cookie dough, raisins, brown sugar. Very deep copper body is quite clear with a tan head that leaves a skim coat and no lace. Strong tingle and a fairly creamy mouth medium bodied. Flavor reminds me a lot of Lagunitas Brown Shugga. Starts with dark fruit overripe, then a big hit of sweet cotton candy followed quickly find a hint of bitterness and ends up fairly dry. I touched too sweet overall but not a bad brew.

Pine and citrus in the nose with a hint of chocolate/roasted malts. Pours pretty near cole black body with moderate redish brown head with Ok retention and OK lace; fairly impressive for the abc. Look an awful lot like a good stout. Mouth is a little creamy but slightly on the thin side of medium bodied. Flavor has a belgium fruit funk going on, a bit winey and sweet/sourish with hints of toffee or chocolate from the roasted bill. I am curious about the yeast in this one. Very bitter finish and just something at the end that is not quire right, tad medicinal. Interesting brew!

A fairly faint nose. Some biscuit and some floral .... Lavender? Clear medium copper body topped with a thin white head that has good retention and leave some foam if not lace on the sides of the glass. Mouth is slightly creamy and quite clean and nicely carbonated. Alcohol is pretty well masked but slightly warming. A very malty flavor not terribly complex but that's kind of okay. Old fashioned hops which is to say bittering and piney. Finishes with a hint of cotton candy but only just a hint and the finish is lengthy and at the end is a bit floral. This is a goddamn good beer.

Rye and floral hops in the nose it's a really nice noise. Dark copper clear body topped with an off-white head with decent retention and good lace. Full body then slightly creamy on the mouth with decent carbonation. Flavor is straightforward one-dimensional but tasty definitely quaffable. Super clean finish. Starts a little bit sweet the malt kicks in finishes just a hair bitter and drying.

WTF is a "belgian-style IPA".... I had to find out. Nose is nice, orange and pine notes evenly balanced, good spice..pepper and cumin?... and a touch of sweetness from the malt bill, reminds me of honey...or maybe its just because this beer is beautiful in the glass, a medium honey-colored body is topped by an excellent frothy slightly -off-white head that is long lasting and has great lace. Ever so slightly cloudy with carbonation gently streaming up the sides, did I mention I love the look of this beer? Mouth is thickish and a bit creamy with a nice slickness and good tingle. I was scared of the flavor, what is a Belgian IPA and I am usually worried about ales "brewed with natural flavor"..I was picturing an IPA with a bunch of spices dumped into it, thank god its not. There is a sweetness to this IPA and it is not as hoppy as say, a West Coast hophead IPA, but its credentials are solid. Fruitier than most IPA's slightly reminds me of Hat #9's apricot but not nearly that fruity. The fruit and sweetness are in the front of the taste and are almost immediately countered with a good bitter hit, not flowery hops, not earthy, the orange is there but subtle. The Chambly yeast is, I suspect, what gives this its unique profile, pretty unusual in an IPA, it adds some spice and a round flavor found often in wits, a subtle play on a farmhouse flavor. Yes I am loving this!!!! Its bringing together my two favorite profiles, IPA and Saison and doing it damn successfully! Good grief I am shocked that this subtle brew is going to end up as my highest rated beer! This beer is a whole new world for me.

Dark malts and dark overripe fruit in the nose. Opaque deep deep Brown body with a decent head and lovely lace.

Lot of dough in the nose, some citrus, red raspberry. Cloudy dark honey body with solid off white head leaves a good skim coat and a bit of lace. Nice mouth slippery, full, a bit creamy, nice tingle. Alcohol is present and warming, nicely sweet with the honey without being cloying. Hops are herbal. This cleans up well in the end leaving the mouth slightly sweet and a bit coated with a little bitter in the back of the roof and a gentle booze burn. This tastes way too good and goes down way too easy!

Nice pils nose, grassy meadow with some violet and lemon and hints of ground white peppercorn. Crystal clear light gold body topped with a big head with retention and some foamy lace. Medium bodied slightly slick, slightly creamy. Flavor follows the nose crisp with slight sugar cookie and a bit of tartness on the finish which is long, drying, and clean.

First time I have ever tasted a Corona, have always put lime in it before. Aroma is very close to non-existant a wee bit of grass, a wee bit of bready yeasts, and a touch of sweet berries. Pours a minimal head that rapidly disapears leaveing almost 0 lace and a tiny but constant effervesance that bubbles up through a very pale yellow body. Mouthfeel is slightly tingly and slightly slippery, its an OK mouthfeel. Flavor .......what flavor? Tastes like a very stale sweet tart might taste; a litle corn, a little metalic, a little simple syrup, and ends with a slightly off-putting chemical taste, almost no aftertaste. All these flavors are just barely there, its a VERY small taste. All in all its better then most US macros, no skunk, and its better then drinking water.

Big old barnyard funk in the nose Belgium all the way Plus cloves plus cardamom they're calling this a Belgian IPA but it's really a Hefe. Slightly hazed amber body with fantastic lace and a good head and it leaves a great skim coat with retention. Mouth is creamy carbonation is good. I don't know how to score the flavor.... I'm in a tastes like I said someone or a heffe so what the hell is a Belgian style IPA supposed to taste like? If this was a hefe or SSO and I'd probably give it an 8 on flavor so what the hell I'll give it an 8.

Pale nose that is very floral with just a hint of pine and lemon, lightly roasted malts come through the nose after it warms a bit. Long lasting big off white head with nice lace sits atop a cooper/orange body. Mouth is full and carbonation moderate to low. Not a lot of complexity here; quite bitter with a bit more malt then most IPA's, not surprising for a NE brewer. Tastes like a New England pale ale only a bit more bitter. Mild citrus in mid taste is quickly followed by a bitter finish and just a touch of funk and butter afterwards...New England all the way. Alcohol at 6% is well masked but there is a touch of warming at the end. Heck of a session brew for the hops-inclined.

Lite aroma ..... Grass, lemon, a sour note of sorts. Clear medium copper body topped with a moderate white head with slight retention and good lace. Nice mouth well carbonated, tingly, slick and lite bodied. Really tasty the malt predominates and is biscuity. The hops are, I think, noble and perfectly balanced. Lighter than a Marzen with a clean and slightly sweet finish. Exceptionally drinkable. Alcohol very well masked. I feel bad downgrading the appearance this is really a delightful beer.

NEIPA nose; pineapple but with a floral component and a touch of spice. Fogged golden body, nice white head with good lace. Mouth is bracing medium bodied, slippery and tingly. Flavor is not complex, standard NEIPA, no distinct beginning or middle, malt not contributing much, bit sweet near the end and a touch astringent in the aftertaste.

Mild nose of biscuit with hints of both citrus and resin hops. Surprisingly clear pale yellow body for an unfiltered Brew tapped by a decent Whitehead that has minimal retention that leaves a nice skim coat. The carbonation is very tingly the mouth is slightly slick medium-bodied and very clean. Lemon and grass in the mouth bittering towards the end somewhat astringent perhaps too much so. The finish is very short and very clean.

Mild nose of well balanced pine and bread, hint of sour jam. Pours a massive rocky head with OK lace atop a medium copper body.Mouth is dry and medium bodied. Predominant flavor is medicinal and not in a good way.I may be showing my age but this tastes a bit like underarm deoderant; aluminum chlorohydrate. It starts OK and has a nice bitter mid taste but the finish is really bad, sour + chemical, nasty nasty finish!

Bread and pasture and a hint of lavender in the nose. Pale copper body with minimal head and no lace. Mouth is medium bodied slightly creamy with minimal carbonation. Very drinkable... Clean taste biscuit, bright and sweetish, hops slightly floral and a bit of bittering..... Perfectly balanced.

In a small Peruvian restaurant in Key West so what the heck..it was breakfast time after all. Faint sweet malty nose. Almost no carbonation with a gold body. Medium in the mouth again with almost no carbonation. Sweet (but not cloying) malt and cotton candy. Finish is cleaner that one would think.Not my style but really not too bad tasting. Had it with ceviche and it played of the lime, onion, cilantro quite nicely. In similar circumstances I would drink it again. Interesting that some reviews here bound lots of carbonation, perhaps a consistency issue from the brewer, if they care.

Reviewed with the disadvantage of being at the wife's HS reunion, at a bar, without a glass. Good nose,, grapefruit and malt, appearance well... it was in a bottle what can I say! (I'll guess an 8). Mouth was medium, well carbonated, and a bit chewy. Flavor, big ole grapefruit but with a very solid malt backbone (see aracauna's reveiew) a very solid IPA flavor, alcohol strong but very well masked. Really good effort here from a small brewery I never heard of before.

Nose of black licorice, oatmeal, tootsie tool, and grapes. Black and opaque motor oil pour leaves a head that lasts forever and is creamy and caramel/ruby tinged. Fantastic lace, I hesitate to taste cause it looks so pretty! Mouth is creamy and full with perfect carbonation. Taste is simple, which may actually be hard to do. Licorice, milkshake, nice buttering finish, dry yet creamy in the end. Dark roasted malts. Balance? Hell yes, this thing could work the high wire for Cirque! Probably the best stout I have ever had, at least for those under 10 abv.

Least nose I have ever had on an IPA. Odd hint of vanilla and compost, but almost nothing there. Pour looks good, nice clear pale copper body topped with a solid white head with decent staying power and good lace. Mouth is Ok, medium with some slipperyness and carbonation OK. Flavor .......oh my god..... just WTF! Very little in the way of a malt backbone, fairly bitter (without any prominent hop flavors) and just an end/after taste from hell. Aspirin, urine? very timid and yet amazingly bad. Pouring this one down the drain.

smells like an IPA spilled into the salad plate. Grassy notes with rosemary at first and then parsley predominating. Not an attractive nose but hey the Brewers are having fun! Pale gold body topped by a nice white head with excellent retention and minimal lace. Mouth is too watery. Tastes like a funked up pills. The herb notes are NOT subtle, it's like half IPA and half parsley extract. And salty! Look.. The Brewers had fun, hats off to them, just buy it once.

Ok, reviewing from memory after an afternoon on the Hudson starting with Brown Sugga, followed by Hampton Double White, and ending with DogFishHead 120 minute, amazing I can still type! jesus 20.04 abv it really is amazing I can type! OK they set sail here for a really big beer with really big hops and they didn't fail. Decent head cosidering the ABV sits on a orangish body, clean medium mouth well carbonated. Major hops flavor but somehow not overpwoering, nicely done for a real hophead brew. Good balance good complaxity considering its aimed at 2 notes, hops and alcohol. Alcohol at 20 abv is really well masked. Excellent oddball that is very drinkable! This beer is all it claims to be.

I had this on tap recently and it seemed so much better than in bottles. So this review is for the forced draught. I would have to call this an outstanding beer though perhaps not as true to its style as the bottled version. It is definatley far more balanced then a classic India Pale Ale. Light in color, classic head, very citrus in the nose, extremley drinkable. In a blind tatste test I might not have thought this was an IPA...the hops are there but they are really mellow and balanced.. There is, however, just something magical about the balance in the 60 minute draught, perhaps so well balanced that it disqualifies it from its purported style but if you see this one on tap have one, a really wonderful beer! 5/27/10 Not a re-rate but in the bottle this is not quite as magical and much more spot on for a standard barer IPA. Pretty complex with all the usual notes plus some ripe fruit and very hopy but surprisingly not killer on the bitter. A really great IPA!

Resin and lemon in the nose with some sweet candy notes and a hint of biscuit, maybe a touch of vanilla. Pours a light amber body with nice effevesance topped with a rocky ful white head with good retention and deent lace. Mouth is thinish for a big beer and slightly watery. Flvor profiel starts sweet, not sure I would identify maple syrup had it not said so on the label but the sweetness is there, perhaps slightly cloying. I also get a hint of ripe peach, hops present but not very bittering. Finish is dry, aftertaste is a bit astringent, alcohol is present and warming.

A very mild nose, actually lacking in the aroma department which is too bad because what there is is nice; pine, ripe fruit, good solid malt, some citrus.... I would just like it to have more presence. Minimal off-white head, poor retention, slight lace sits atop a reddish copper body that is clear. Mouth is full, a bit creamy which is a surprise, but lacking in carbonation. Flavor is complex. Quite malty at first blush, then major hops kick in, finish is clean, aftertaste is bitter with major warming effect for alcohol that is not masked. The blend of malt and hops seems unique, its almost sweet in mid-taste with a sense of overripe fruit, raisin, plum, etc. Hops are more bitter then flavorful but they attenuate the malt to produce an unusual flavor profile, it almost seems as if they kick in a bit too soon... its like a I am about to get really interesting fruit flavors when the hops kick there way in and extinguish them just a bit too soon. This actually makes the tasting interesting. I also get some vanilla/maple syrup flavor. Its a bit buttery which, I suppose, it really shouldn't be. I am really just surprised that the hops are not more predominant; relatively little pine and citrus in the taste. Its like a noble pils got pumped with biscuit and alcohol. I really like it a lot but I think its way off base for the style (although my experience with Imperial IPA's is minimal) so I guess I will score flavor high. Give me better carbonation and pump up the hops citrus a bit more and I would love this beer. As is this brew seems more Belgium then IPA, find an new name and the rating would go up, what an odd predicament!
