Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of hops, grass, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, hops, straw, and pine needles, leading to a bitter finish.

Right side of the neck of the bottle reads:
021715, I think that’s born on.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy golden orange with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a good minute. Light stringy lacing sticks and slides into the beer.
The smell takes a lemon zest to cross over a delicate grassy sweetness. Light caramel maltiness balances nicely.
The taste has a good balance of sweet to bitter to zest. There’s a nice sweet to zesty citrus aftertaste but no finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation runs moderately with a good bitterness pounding appropriately.
Overall, as an EIPA, its a bit different as the English side of the aroma doesn’t really show, but hey, I’m thinking more AIPA fans might like this one.

12 ounce bottle, 4/13/15. Hazy amber, medium sized foamy off-white head. Good retention. Aroma of minty, herbal hops, eucalyptus, caramel malt. The taste is citrus hops, tea, minty notes, eucalytus, caramel, candied citrus. Medium bodied, strong lingering bitterness, a bit medicinal. Definitely an odd one. 800th IPA rating!

Bottle from Epsom Circle Market, Epsom NH. Aroma is herbs, piney hops with hint of natural gas smell and late fruit. Appearance on first pour is clear golden yellow pour with significant sparkling, one finger-width frothy-creamy head wiht good retention and nice lacing. Second pour yielded cloudiness from sediment (it is unfiltered, after all). Taste is mildly sweet fruity start and moderately bitter end. Palate is light-bodied with thin texture, pretty flat in terms of carbonation (how can this be with that much sparkle?) and faint lingering bitter finish. Overall, a nice-looking beer with somewhat interesting though not entirely pleasant aroma, average taste and forgettable palate.

Bottle: Poured a light amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus hops notes with some bitter notes easily noticeable. Taste is also dominated by some citrus hops notes with quite bit of bitterness with a non-descript malt backbone. Body is light with good carbonation. Standard IPA which lacks some floral hoppy aromas.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks Tom L. Slightly hazy golden witha white head. Aroma of stale hops and a honey-ish note. Sweetish flavor with malt, honey, stale hops and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied.

Heavily filtered dark yellow. Nose is weak. Some pine and juicy fruit. Quite a bit of flavor here. Bitterness is manageable and sweet notes throughout

Bottle at inlaws. Pours orange with one finger head. Nose is citrusy hops. Tastes of tropical fruits, grapefruit, malt, and some brown sugar. Medium bodied and pretty tasty.

Super rich copper and toffee coloured body with a rich, two centimetre tall perfectly tan head - very nice looking. Aroma of rich caramel, toffee, raisins, nuts, earth, malt and a good dose of german or english hops - doesn’t smell like much american in here. Medium-bodied; Grassy and herbal hop notes up front that are decidedly more american with a good malt backbone and a pleasant but mild sweetness that persists. Aftertaste shows a good balance of malt and hops with perhaps a bit too much malt, toffee and bitterness lingering, but not a bad offering. Overall, a decent IPA that bleeds more toward malt than hops, but a nicely flavoured beer at least. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Washington (Foggy Bottom), DC on 13-January-2014 for US$1.99 sampled at home in Washington on 05-June-2014.
