Tap at Devil Craft. Nice, lots of fruit, high bitterness. Booze is very well hidden. Smells a touch funky. Good stuff.

Sample at the tap room. Clear pale copper color with a medium thick off-white head that recedes gradually. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of resiny hops, citrus and grainy malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a piney hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Bottle thanks to Lizzie and Daren! Pours a clear amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of resinous pine and a bit of flora with sweet grains backing. Flavor has bitter pine with a touch of grapefruit and a finish of pine, resin and bread.

Poured golden yellow, maybe it looks a bit thicker compared with lighter beers but still very normal looking. Aroma is full of hoppy resins - of course. This beer is very dry while still loaded with some subtle citrusy fruit character and piney hops. West Coast IPA as I imagine is taken to another level where lush fruitiness has dripped off a bit and the void is filled with hops and their resins. Alcohol content is dangerously well hidden, there would be no way I can tell it’s 9,4% if it wasn’t written on the label. Great beer, would have it again and again.

Draught at the brewery, 2 samples, co2 and nitro
Golden color, with compact head; the co2 version is clean, the nitro is cloudy. Strong aroma, hoppy, piney, animal. Good body strength; moderately sweet; malt flavor, then the strong hoping, which has a strong animal character, hop resins, piney, and just moderate fruits.
The nitro version has obviously less aroma, it’s smoother, a bit cloying, but still acceptable.
With such strong animal character, it’s a rather difficult beer to drink, I wouldn’t have too much of it.

Bottle - Very sweet with hints of tropical fruit and mandarin. Clear gold with a thin head. Intense mandarin and bitterness. Big bold flavours, maybe a bit too much.

Copper color, tons of passionfruit, caramel full body and full on and just bloody intense.

Bottle thanks to glkaiser! Bottling date 10/21/13. Pours hazy orange with a small off-white head, dissipates quickly with decent lacing. Aroma is citrus, passionfruit, cat piss, pine resin. Flavor is the same, light sweet and light bitter increasing to medium on the finish. Medium body, oily mouthfeel, kinda harsh, which detracts from an otherwise nice beverage.

Slight red tones Nose is huge simcoe and possibly some citra or chinook. Very juicy. Excellent malt and hop balance. Pretty awesome and one of the best west coast IPAs. I’ve had
