It’s Old Man Bitter
A mix of citrus and pine that will remind you of the time you went on a vision quest with your Native American cousin and you woke up in a pine grove full of grapefruit trees.
An American-style India Pale Ale with a deep golden-orange color. Bitter and hoppy, with a surprisingly smooth finish.

Can, 6.8%. Powerful citric and piney hop aroma. Cloudy orange amber colour. Small white head. The flavour is a lot like the aroma, citric and piney. Nice sugar level, good body. Clean bitterness. If I read the date stamp correctly, it is actually past BBD, but it tastes fresh to me.

Can. Pours hazy rich amber with stable off-white head. Clear aroma of hops and citrus, with notes of malt and fruit. Bitter, hoppy and grassy flavour with round, sweet notes of malt and yeast and some fruity touches. Bitter aftertaste with grassy hints and estery touches. Decent but tastes more like a Double IPA.

Can. Appearance- amber and very clear, some bubbles rising, a cream thick clingy head which persists. Aroma- caramel malt, bread, hop resin, tangerine, grapefruit, pithy orange. Hint of pineapple. Taste- orange marmalade, malty bready backbone, hops, orange peel, fruit juice, pineapple in the background, some sugary fruit. Tasty, good balance between orange and caramel.

355ml can. Clear deep orange colour with a two finger slightly off-white head with fairly good retention. Aroma is really hoppy, piney, grapefruit, citrus, zest. Taste like the aroma is very hoppy and piney, lots of citrus and grapefruit, sweet malt, caramel. Quite a bitter finish and a touch of alcohol. This is a great IPA.

Tap at Falling rock. Copper color and a very thick, lacing head. Bitterr, some pine. Not much fruit at all but more malt than many others. Good beer.
