We brewed this one because we just can’t get enough of those hops. IPA’s seem to be a great choice any time of the year. They have a great malt flavor and hop profile, just what a beer connoisseur is looking for. We decided to give this one a bit more hops. Try this with a strong cheese like a very sharp cheddar, cloth bound, aged if you can find one.

On tap at the brewery. Pours copper gold with medium white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is resin, dank, earth malt. Slick body, grapefruit, pine, earth, lingering bitter finish, very good.

Can shared in London - picked up in the US. Pours clear, rich honey-gold with a creamy, white head. Kind of old school, , with crackery pale malts, pine needles, citrus peel. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly oily and warming on the finish, with more crackery pale malts, nipe of pine. Bitter aftertaste. Not bad.

Can split at L6, thanks to Leighton, 'Farewell New Ken' tasting 18/09/19. Lightly hazed golden amber with a decent off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is grassy, bitter orange, grapefruit, toasted grains. Taste comprises pineapple, grass, bitter orange, light caramel malts, toasted grains, citric tinged straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced grassy hop bitterness. Ok old skool leaner.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Total Wine & More, Burlington. Appearance is murky/cloudy dark orange (tons of large white floaties) with tons of effervescent sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-plus width rocky, off-white foamy head with excellent retention and decent soapy lacing. Aroma is strong sweet malts along with pine/citrus hop contribution. Taste is cracker/bread with danky bitter as aroma. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick, frothy texture, soft carbonation, mild esophageal alcohol warmth and crisp, dry finish with lingering bitterness. Overall, the brewer mentions the malt flavor in the description so it should be no surprise that it figures prominently. Seems very retro/West Coasty. Not bad but has been done a million times and doesn't stand out.

Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton for the can. Hazy deep gold beer, small cream colour head. Smooth and fairly dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, modest creamy sweetness. Woody hops. Ripe orange peel, modest grapefruit. Light finish. Feels a bit tired.

This one is for strong bitterness lovers. If you’re looking for complexity, it is not for you.....L’olfactif présente des conifères, des agrumes et des fruits tropicaux. Également du pin, du cèdre, de l’ananas et du pamplemousse. Un nez assez standard, qui ressort bien. Le visuel est doré / ambré, légèrement flou, avec une bonne mousse écumeuse, dense et au long maintient. De bonnes traces sont visibles sur le verre. L’attaque est tout en amertume. Des résineux piquants et amères. De bonnes notes de gomme de pin, d’épinette,; très tranchantes, avec un soupçon de gazon. Les fruits ne sont pas beaucoup présents cependant. En bouche, elle présente une bonne texture, mais elle manque un peu d’équilibre. Tout est dans les houblons. Pour les amateurs de grosse amertume. Friands de complexité, ce n’est pas pour vous.
