Long Hammer IPA

Brewery: Red Hook

Type: IPA

Alcohol:6.2%

Country: USA

I love the oddball bottle on this one. Couldn't help picking up a bunch of these Red Hook beers, as I have never had anything by them before. Pours a very clear  yellowish copper color, not a very impressive head for an IPA. Aroma is nothing to write home about, light notes of grass and resiny hops. The flavor is a little dull, little bit of carmel malt but not much. Lots of bittering hops but without a lot of distinctive hop flavor. A little bit of citrus but mostly just bitter flavor with no nuance. All in all pretty boring. I am a little dissapointed because I was expecting a lot more from an east coast IPA like this. Oh well
