Five Leaves Left (ii) is the second in a five beer series exploring the interplay of a single hop and a single additional sugar source in an oat-based Double IPA. (ii) was brewed with honey from our friends at Fruitwood Orchards. Hopped and dry hopped intensely and singularly with the mysterious Idaho 7. This iteration of Five Leaves Left is pleasant with drippy and comforting notes of late harvest peaches, pineapple, and candied strawberries. Gonna see the river man, gonna tell him all I can.

Level 42 Bottleshare. A Wingman can, big cheers for this one! Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin mats, thin creamy sweetness and a whisper of honey. Mild hop skunk. Good piney hop into light hop spice. Mild skunk. Nice light tropical fruits into a mildly spicy finish. A very graceful and light DIPA that delights but doesn't quite carry that wow factor to bring it in the highest echelons.

16 oz. can. Canned 10-9-17. Murky gold appearance, thin head. Aroma is a large amount of pine and slight flowers, yeast. For a two month old IPA this is super bold. Pine and herbal hops are balanced by a mild lasting sweet finish. A touch of grass. Mouthfeel lean's on full and chewy/ yeasty. Balance is real exceptional at this time frame.

Can. A hazy golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of lemons, malt, hops, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and fruits, leading to bitter finish.

Moderately dank aroma, some tropical fruits, melon Medium to big sweet flavour, oddly sugary, with some spicy pine, jammy melon. Medium to full bodied, with fine carbonation.

Can, by way of a trade with Wingmane. Cheers Dave. Super murky, orange gold. Messy, dense, sticky, lasting, lacing, white head. Nearly as good looking as me. Nose has tinned strawberry. Ripe pineapple. Mango. Soggy peach. Some sweet, vanilla ice cream malts in the background. Taste has all of that fruity sweetness, with a clean, citrusy, stone fruit bitterness. Soft mouthfeel. Really juicy. Fairly short, fruity, citrusy bitter finish. Lovely.
