Coppery draught with white head. Spice and citrus. Pretty respectable wc iPad...

Pours a clean golden colour with an amber hue. The head is fluffy-frothy, off-white, big, long lasting with spotted-sticky lacing. Green grass hop nose. Hints of pines and caramel malts. A slight haze comes in at last pour, with very tiny transparent particles. The taste is a nice mix of citrus hoppiness, mild caramel base and light grassiness. Some tropical notes jammed in there. Easy enough to drink, but with still some good dryness in the finish. Not bad at all.

Pours amber with a very thick head. Decent amount of carbonation. Aroma of light and hoppy, some grass notes. Taste is woody with a nice smoked element on the nose. The palate contains floral grass notes as well as subtle resin flavors. Interesting IPA.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berry, grapefruit, lime, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, light caramel, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berry, grapefruit, lime, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, light caramel, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus rind, peppery, herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, peach, pear, apricot, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, berry, grapefruit, citrus rind, pepper, pine, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is an awesome IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink; even with the fairly aggressively bitter/drying finish. A big dank bomb of an IPA. Lots of pine and earthy spice, balanced with juicy tropical/stone fruit character; solid malt backbone, with no residual sweetness. A really enjoyable offering. Love the hop profile: Columbus, Chinook, Mosaic, and Ekuanot.

From a Long Trail sampler pack: pours a sort of orange color with a white head. Aroma is some citrus, piny notes, and a bit of malts. Taste is like a standard IPA. Somewhat bitter. It is what it is.

12 ounce bottle. Slightly hazed amber orange color. Small pillowy beige head with nice lacing. Subtle toasted malt nose with hints on mint and spruce. Flavor has more toasted malt, caramel and a mix mash of hop flavors. Hints of pine, stale citrus fruit, vanilla and lemon peel. Sticky mouthfeel. Chewy sweet malt finish.

Bottle as pictured. Dull IPA aroma. Somewhat hazy looking like a darker hefe. Stuff floating around in there. First taste is kick ass bitter double resinous IPA dull thid, whew. Volatile bitter viscous thick mouth coating pine tar sap over-top a substrate of fresh rubber inner-tube. Seems like more than 6.5% fer sher. Nasty nellie nubing noozy. One of the most bitter mouth puckering brews I’ve had in a while, yes think; double imperial IPA dude. 60 IBU? BS, this is like 200.
