Aoi Subtle IPA 6.3% on tap at the Bincan Fes 2015. It pours a surprisingly dark orange-amber-brown that had me thinking they poured me the alt by mistake but I was assured they hadn’t. Weird malty sweet aroma with just hints of hope has me thinking again this is the alt. Seriously, this is the IPA??? It tastes like an alt. It doesn’t look like an IPA. As an IPA it’s a bit of a fail... Malt caramel with a light citrusy bite and cocoa in the finish... It grew on me I guess it can be some kind of weird IPA...

On tap at qbrick. Pours out a orangeish topped with a small head. Nose is some citrus hops and a little malt. Taste is more of the same. A pretty lack luster attempt at a ipa.

Tap at Q-Brick. Oramge-amber. Nose or oranges, caramel, pine. Flavors add peach. Malt is a bit funky and astringent. Extract? Oily body. Has a way to go.
