Autumn calls for an IPA with a little bit of robustitude—prominent malt with a sassy ABV, featuring Simcoe as the star hop. Pine, citrus, and an assertive bitterness compliment a lush, caramelly malt profile.

Dark red. Thin head. This has a big chewy aroma but the orangey, piney hop notes come through clearly. It's fairly bitter, with a bright crystal malt, orangey notes, and a clean pine. This is solid, well-balanced, and retains bright character rather than chewy.

440mL can, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is loaded with intense resinous hops, chewy caramel malt, bready notes, and a touch of pine. Flavour is wonderfully balanced, with lots of resinous hops, dry caramel and bready malt, a touch of fermented out brown sugar, and bitter pine on the finish. Balanced impeccably well and immensely drinkable for the ABV. Excellent.
