I have never tasted anything from this brewery, but they have been around since 2002 and are out of Lakewood, NY. The IPA appears to be one of the original beers they began producing.
Appearance: Classic light copper color. Slightly foggy body with white head a couple of fingers thick. Head dissipates very slowly indicating a higher carbonation.
Nose: Malty quaffs mixed with very piney floral hops aromas. A hint of something sweet, maybe caramel or citrus.
Taste: Malty start takes a quick left into deep piney hoppy bitterness. Yes there are caramel overtones that seep through creating a bit of sweetness against the lingering bitterness and the toasty maltyness. Almost a creamy feel with the caramel and the well balanced slightly stronger pine traits.
Mouthfeel: Smooth and creamy medium body that sits thickly in a mouthful.
Drinkability: Above average, the taste is not at all disappointing. Good IPA. I will certainly drink it once again.
Overall: Very enjoyable! Creamy malt balance with piney bitter-sweetness.
Serving type: bottle
Chin chin!
