003/2014 CSB Member - Brewed with Organic Honey and Aged on Rum Infused Oak Cubes.
This Extra IPA is brewed with barley, oats, organic honey and aged on rum soaked oak staves. This floral aromas of honey meld into rich oak flavors. The malt bill is balanced with three doses of dry hopping of Mosaic and Galaxy hops to create a robust tropical hop monster. Drink fresh for hop flavor or age up to a year to bring out the malt and oak flavors.

Can thanks to LKS. It pours cloudy murky gold with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, juicy, oily, peaches & cream, honey cake, tangy fruits, nectarine, light vanilla, cakey, spice and green notes. The taste is slick, bitter - sweet, nectarine, peaches & nectarine, honey cake, spice, spice, green, weedy, chewy and warming alcohol with a slick, fruity finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Good fun overall. Interesting stuff.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton for the can. Cloudy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft sweestish malts, little cream. Nice light honey. Good rich orangey hops, little ripe mango. Mild pine. Trace of red berries. Smooth finish, very nice.

Can shared in London - sourced in VT. Pours very murky orange-gold with a foamy, white head. Pulpy citrus in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavour with some pale bread, mild rindy bitterness, more citrus pulp, a bit of booze, suggestions of honey, straw. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, more pulp, some flinty minerals, orange. Not bad overall. Pretty juicy.

Tall can (thx, Charles G.!). Canned on 2017-10-18. Pours a cloudy dirty golden with a huge tan head. Aroma is juicy with lots of tropical fruits, some honey and freshness like from toothpaste. Similar taste with hoppy bittetness. Just a bit sweet, but very juicy and fresh with some piney bitterness. Tropical fruits bitterness aftertaste. Very good.

Sample glass at the brewery.
The appearance was a semi-hazy muddy golden orange color. No head (bar pour) and yields a light messy lacing.
The aroma had a strong balance of a pure bittersweet honey to juicy citrus bitter rind. Pine is there - quite subtle. Low lying malts.
The flavor yields to a superb balance between the bitter and the sweet of the hops to the malts. Totally enthralling aftertaste between the bitter and the sweet. Quick finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Low lying carbonation. Ample bitterness for the harshness on my tongue.
Overall, probably my top favorite DIPA to date by this brewery. Absolutely stellar on all accounts. Looking forward to seeing cans of this in the near future.
