Berner IPA: Pours orange with a thick white head. Heavy hop aroma. Taste is quite hoppy and resinous. Palate has woody and resinous notes. Ok beer.

Forgot about this one in my fridge, from a trip in Vermont. Pours a hazy golden-orange colour with lots of sediments. Head is warm, a little on the creamy side with great stay and lacing. Fresh fruity hop aromas with a light Belgian ale yeast sweetness. Decent dryness and milder bitterness. More grassy, but still a little fruity in flavours. A pretty nice IPA.

Got in a BIF from Roguer. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 2/9/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, papaya, guava, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, light honey, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/fruity hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, papaya, guava, lemon/orange zest, light pepper/pine, light honey, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/grassy/citrus peel/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, peach, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, papaya, guava, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/fruity hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an outstanding IPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/fruity hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink from the modest bitterness. Very bright, juicy, and dank on hops; nice malt backbone, without feeling sweet. Fairly tame feeling bitterness at first from the malt balance, but dries out really nicely without being astringent. A highly enjoyable offering.

On tap at Pony Bar 10th Ave, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out tropical fruits and citrus hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with tropical fruits, piney hops and a lightly sweet cereal malt base. Lots of fruitiness on the finish, without being too sweet. Very nice.

Bottle - Tropical fruit and citrus peel. Clear gold with particulates. Sweet and a touch of skunk with citrus.
