On tap at Bellwoods.
Hazy orange pour, big, sticky head. Aroma of juicy, citric hops, with some light pine resins. This is quite a floral beer, i feel it could fill a room with the aroma, i could smell it before even getting close to the glass. The mouth feel is perfect, but the carb is quite soft. The finish is to be expected, quite bitter, but there are huge citrus notes, with more pine resins. A pretty straight foreward DIPA, but quite well executed.

Draft - Light citrus and yeast. Clearish gold with a rich head. Citrus, yeast, herbs and a spicy bitter finish. Long finish and a sticky mouthfeel. Not enough balance for my taste in an IIPA.

(Draught at the brewpub, Sep 10 2013) Pours a cloudy pale orange with a large white head of bubbles, some lace. Huge hop aroma, predominately tropical fruit - I’d say guava dominated but there were also notes that made me think passion fruit, mango, citrus. Also a little dank/pine foliage in there, and some malt sweetness behind for support. Flavour again richly tropical fruit, same notes but I’d say a bit more mango/orange, a little Simcoe dank, some pine, malt sweetness doesn’t intrude with flavour and lets the hops do their thing. Moderate bitterness in the middle of the palate, fairly bitter on the finish with no detectable alcohol but still restrained from a DIPA perspective. Body full, carb medium. I’m particularly partial to tropical fruit-forward hoppy IPAs and the aroma/flavour concentration here is really excellent, nice mix of hops. Right up my alley, great job from Bellwoods, the Indie version was good but no question in my books which I prefer.

A lot of the same perfume hop profile as the Indie Alehouse Belgian yeast version but different. Floral angle is not as potent but this one has a nice bitter finish. American yeast lets some of the citrus hops showcase better. Pours blonder than the Belgian yeast version - cloudy blonde with ok head and lacing. On tap at Bellwoods.
