Oh shit, they’re landing on Omaha beach right now at 6:32am. They’re gonna lose the war all because the Fuhrer took a sleeping pill and cannot be wakened. And get that Napoleon Cognac outta my office, never been opened, been waiting for a special time but this will have ta gotta do. "Hello ol’ chap, seems I lost my way landin’ into your Paris palace..." the Brit says to the Kraut. Can you not hear the invasion? Those 5000 ships you said they didn’t have, well they’re here!! The Longest Day I gots ta tells ya, this one has a strong grapefruit nose and good head with foggy gold body. It was just a late night marriage but he took it seriously! Vive La France!! Like, you should get down to your cellar dude, those Americain ship cannons ain’t messin’ aroond. Flavour is strong hops with just a hint of malt, very dry and sour finish - just the ways we likes ’em. Shit, another 2 hours to go in this thing I bet the guys who assaulted the beach didn’t have to wait this long. "Your chances of a long sleep just went up, we’re going to fight the invasion". Yeah, the good ol’ days - but I still think Lee Marvin is the shit that John Wayne wouldn’t dream of dreamin’ of.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Slightly hazy golden yellow with full white head. Citrusy hops, mild pine. Found the alcohol to be a little milder than others. Nice balance, but could be a touch more flavourful.

Amber, bubbly head, fairly robust piney, citrusy hop nose. Fairly rich, chewy malts...sweet and with alcohol. Pretty intense, maybe could tone down the alcohol and even the malts.

Bottle from Denman’s Wine and Spirits, Vancouver
Hazy golden color. The malts have a cereal character, the bitterness is strong but the hop is mainly resiny, not much fruity; the mouthfeel is lean and slightly oily; the boozy character is a bit too strong compared to similar beer. Nice beer, not the IIPA I will look for again, though.

Bottle - Sweet, syrupy leafy hops. Clear gold with a small white head. Light orangey sweetness with a touch of booze. Not bad.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Nose is pretty fresh with resinous hops, lots of caramel, and some alcohol. Flavour is quite perfumey, with lots of floral hops, resin, and lots of alcohol. Quite hot for an 8.7% IIPA -- it drinks like a few more %. Not very cohesive at all. Not terrible, but this needs major tweaking.
