Double IPA

Copper color, hazy, seems a bit darker than usual. The aroma is also a bit biscuity and sweaty. Definitively more biscuity caramel in the flavor, not my favorite profile for an IIPA, but very well done, and coordinated with the hops being a bit earthy and quite resiny.
Very good.

Hazy golden color with compact head. The aroma is mild, fruity hops, light sweat. It's quite sweet, The malt profile is blond, but it could be more crisp, some straw flavor; strong bitterness, moderate hop quality, bitter orange, and then some resins later. Soft mouthfeel.
Good beer, but without the brightness of the great ones.

Hazy dark blond color. A bit dank, definitively resiny, a lot of hops, and just moderate sweetness.
Very nice. A bit rough though.

Hazy deep blond color with compact head. The aroma mixes a hoppy animal character and tobacco, then some timid fruits, some tropical fruits and others more pungent. Lean mouthfeel, with moderate residual sweetness; malt and toffee flavor, with rather strong animal character and hop resins, covering some hop fruitiness, oranges; expected bitterness.
Peculiar take, fairly clean, bold but not too cloying for the style; the hop resins are in the spotlight.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear orange with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out wonderful notes of resinous hops, lots of pine, and just enough caramel biscuity malt. Flavour is exceptionally well-balanced, with truckloads of resinous hops, piney hops, a touch of spice, and biscuity malt to back. Beautiful palate with all flavours in perfect harmony. Lots of hoppy bite and just enough malt to provide support. Phenomenal stuff - definitely the best IIPA in the province, if not the best overall beer.
