Bottle Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma has a nice combo of sweet grain, pine and citrus hops. Flavor begins with pine and citrus hops, but the finish is smoothed out by a sweet grainy and rye finish.

bottle, pours dark amber iwth a tall light tan head. Strong hop aroma with pine and some floral, light bready malts in the background. Nice toasted rye bread flavor, with a nice balanced hop bitterness that is all pine and almost oily feeling because of the creamy mouth. Very nice and poundable.

Bottle, 8%. Good caramelly and teaish hop aroma. Clear brown colour. Small off-white head. The flavour is powerful, quite sweet, there is a good caramelly and grassy hop note, and a distinct, but not rough bitterness in the finish. Quite well-balanced even though it is very flavourful. 838318

On tap at The Rake, Borough. Clear chestnut colour, lasting beige head. Lovely big hop aroma. OK in mouths, some rye character cereal. It’s good, but maybe the finish is a bit of a let down. Good resiny hops on aroma. though.

Bottle bought at BevMo in Phoenix, Arizona. A deep copper coloured pour with a decent head. Great hoppy aroma. Tastes hoppy, caramel, malty, sweet, bitter. Smooth drinking, complex DIPA. My this is good stuff, wish I’d packed more in my suitcase.
