Taster pour at Powder Keg Beer and Chili Festival. Appearance is dark yellow with light sparkle, half-finger width light foamy head. Aroma is mostly hops--light citrus, herbs, with mild grains. Taste is dominant sweet fruit, mild herbs, floral, light citrus. Mildly bitter toward the finish. Hard to pin down but different from other DIPA. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and mainly sweet over bitter citrusy finish. Overall, the fruitiness is not tropical nor stone fruit--nor really identifiable--and it's not terribly complex, but is a nice change of pace.

Pours a standard dark amber from a tap. Citrus and pine aromas are big, similar flavor with a too-sweet caramel backbone, kind of typical for most of the style IMHO. Good beer though.

Bottle. Rating #7,100. Thanks to Jcwattsrugger for the bottle. Pours orange gold with white head. Nose/taste of grass, seaweed, toast, florals, dank orange peel, caramel malt and earthy old citrus. Medium body.

Half liter bottle courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Thanks! Pours a hazy burnished bronze color with a medium sized dense creamy tan head. Good head retention. Citrus and tropical notes are wafting over from the glass a few feet away. Further aroma notes are toffee and a bit of resin. The taste is toffee malts with a bitter citrus and pine hop finish. A little bi-polar as the sweetness lingers a bit before the bitterness kicks in. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness.

16.9oz bottle-shaving cream lt tan-hazy gold. A-spice-mint [aspirin] /herbal, lt/med malt. T-harsh pine [iodine/aspirin] hop bite, med malt-toasty with a touch of sweetness trying to creep out from the harsh. Would like to try this again. White sticker on bottom side of bottle: DON-11 10/2/13

Bottle picked up at Bert’s Pours a slightly hazy medium copper color with a tightly bubbled off white head that shows moderate retention. Caramel, toffee, and a hint of butterscotch malt aromas countered by a huge grapefruity lemony citrus a hint of pine. The flavor is a little different than the nose promised. Bitter pine and lemon pith that is barely sweetened with caramel and toffee. Sharp acrid hop bite with a hint of alcohol taste. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a lingering sharp bitter mouthfeel. Lots of bittering hops were used here, more late additions could mellow some of the harshness. Nice brew, I certainly wouldn’t turn down another.

One of the best beer names I’ve seen. Named after the white donkey Jericho that came with the farm the brewer just bought: http://hampton-northhampton.patch.com/articles/30-seconds-with-jericho#video-14128754 Draft at the source. Hazy bright golden amber color, fluffy white head. Aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, light pine. Taste is fruity, sweet and sticky, balanced, bitter dry finish. Very nice.

Growler from brewery. Lightly cloudy gold. Only produced head after vigorous pour. Real low Co2. Sweet nose of tropical fruit, malt and resin. Taste is much the same as the nose. Sweet up front turning into a pine bitterness. It doesn’t have an in your face, slap your mouth bitterness. However, it gets progressively more hoppy the more you consume. Pretty good.

Shared with AirForceHops in a 2Litre Growler straight from the brewery today. Enjoyed at fridge temp in a Stella glass.
A - darker gold appearance. Perfect clarity. No head at all with a slght bit of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S - Trying my best to pick out the hop profiles. Columbus and Centennial. Slight hint of Amarillo. That’s the best I have on my limited experience. I’m most certainly wrong about that one though.
T - Very nice. Up front pine resin and some grapefruit cheese. Bark sort of taste like spent pine bark. Pretty interesting. Loving the columbus hops coming through on the taste buds. Resinous finish but the IBUs are a bit too extreme for me.
M - 50% carbonation. medium body. barky finish.
O - This is nice. We have 2 litres of this. Gonna drink it down!
