Nice meringue head and crystal copper body. Aroma of dry hops with some sweetness. Good hop flavour with malt hints. No doubt that this is a well made IPA, one of the better ones in the city. Not sure about the world though.

Hazy light tan. Aroma is light mandarin, bit biscuity and earthy. Balanced character, little bit of bitterness in the finish and biscuity mellow maltiness up front.

Draft - Fresh sweet pine. Clear gold with a thin white head. Very resinous and dry, but a well balanced bitterness. Nothing spectacular but very solid and easy drinking.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma is on the maltier side for a IIPA, with syrupy caramel malts, resinous hops, fresh red fruits, and some citrus fruits. Flavour is extremely fruity and malt-heavy as well, with under-ripe berries, syrupy caramel malts, and then some citrus and resinous hops fight their way to the front. Something doesn't mesh so well here - the under-ripe berries are quite pronounced and the malts are quite syrupy. The hops aren't that far forward - perhaps not enough were used to balance the malt? Anywho, it's decent, but quite flawed. Good local attempt at a IIPA, but needs refinement.

Hazy dark amber color with compact head. The aroma is a bit musky; round but lean mouthfeel; good caramelly malt flavor, but a bit too chewy, and hence hiding some of the hop qualities; strong bitterness, quite strong hop resins, but also a bit fruity.
I enjoyed other batches more than this one.

Hazy orange-golden color with medium sized creamy head. Powerful fruity hop aroma, some jam, also very light butter; bag of hops, a bit sweaty and feety. The mouthfeel is round but quite lean; the malt flavor is very good, with accents of fudge and toffee, moderate sweetness, and then a very strong yet perfectly integrated bitterness, carrying plenty of hop fruity goodness and piney resins; there is maybe still a trace of butter.
Besides the possible diacetyl minor flaw, it’s a very enjoyable beer.

Amber color, darker shade, hazy, with creamy head, quite persistent. The aroma is interesting, very hoppy-forward; initially fresh fruity and zesty, with some citrus fruits; then an earthy and sweaty component joins in. The mouthfeel is quite dry; flavor of malt and toffee, quite strong, turning into some caramel later; the hopping is strong, with powerful bitterness and bold aromatic components; a lot of piney resins, citrusy fruitiness, bergamot, and medium earthy character too (soil and yeast). Long final, with tongue-scraping hop resins.
Powerful, still a bit rough, but with some fresh and fruity components.
