Bottle from the propeller. It pours light hazy deep amber with a decent white head. The nose is sweet, sticky, crystal malt, toffee, sweet floral, pine and mild stewed orange. The taste is bitter-sweet, toffee, candy, crystal malt, sticky, chewy malt, peppery, waxy citrus rind, floral stuff, stewed orange, piney varnish, resin and alcohol warmth towards the finish. A sweet and chewy. A little rough around the edges. Not great.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a dirty dark orangey brown with a medium white head. Nose is very malty, with loads of caramel malt, syrup, candied sugar and resinous hops. Flavour is unfortunately the same, with a way over-malted body, some resinous and piney hops, and some residual candied sugar. Way too malty and sweet for my taste, but somehow you get more accustomed to it after a while. Off the mark, but decent.

Bottle from the brewery shop. Pours a fairly clear deep golden color with a smallish off white head that slowly dissipates leaving a light amount of stickies on the way down. The aroma is quite sweet and heavy with sugary caramel. Citrus and pine provide balance but this this one feels heavy and sweet like a hoppy barleywine. The flavor follows the aroma with lots of caramel and brown sugar offset with some earthy pine citrus and ethanol. Medium body with a light to moderate level of carbonation and a sweet sticky almost syrupy mouthfeel. Feels like an IPA from the nineties, crystal malt sweetness light if any dry hopping. I can drink this but compared to some of the ipa’s out there now, I would choose something else.
I had to update this after noticing that the bottle I have was packaged in May even though I bought it two weeks ago at the brewery. It is possible that this is much better fresher, but right now the hop aroma is not strong enough to cut through the intense malt sweetness.

Bottle - Very sweet, much more than the hop bomb promised. Fruits and earthy hops are present, a bit spicy as well. A reasonably balanced IPA, which is not what is advertised. Still decent though, bitter with some pine.
