Pour is a clear blond with a large white head. Aroma is a nice tropical fruity hop with an overall nice hoppy dankness. Flavor is again a nice fresh and juicy hop with a big bitterness. Finish is smooth and leaves a nice hop on the tongue. I will have hop burps all night. I don’t know who Mike Hess is but he makes a fine IPA.

Lightly hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and crispy from fine minerally carbonation. Light and slightly soft pale malts. Lovely light piney floral hops, a bare whisper of skunk. Very light tropical fruits before a light finish. Mild hop spice linger. Very nice, light and easy drinking.

Agree with bhensonb; this one is going to be a nightmare to track. I am just lumping my rating here like others have done. Pours crystal clear orange with a large off-white head that is creamy and dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is light grass, citrus, passion fruit. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, kinda grainy and harsh. Medium body, oily mouthfeel.

Scanned the QR. No results. Does have Solis Occasus on back of can. Can from Bine & Vine. Pours amber gold with a slight white head. Aroma is pretty hoppy. Seems fruity. Med body. Flavor is very hoppy, seems fruity/earthy, could be some citrus; and/or resin. Works up a bit of a hop burn! Hard to pick it apart. Finishes fairly bitter and quite hoppy.

Growler picked up at Huss. It pours with a deep clear copper body that has gold edges and supports a full tan head. The aroma offers up sweet gummy bear like citrus and apricot and then it slides into some resiny hop bitterness that is leaning toward a grapefruit note. The taste is full and firm with unwavering hoppy goodness. I get sweet juicy tangelo and orange wedges that are surrounded by resiny pine and bitter grapefruit hops. This is both juicy and firmly bitter. As it warms a floral hop note starts to surface. Solid IPA.

Tap at Downtown JB’s SD. It pours clear amber, with a thick white head. The nose is white grape, green apple, lemon, white grapefruit, pine and grass. The taste is big resinous hop, pine, grass, hay, white grape, soap, lemon, gooseberry and greengage, with a warming, bitter-dry finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. An interesting DIPA.
