A golden amber DIPA with a thick frothy lacing light mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with resinous floral hops, light treacle, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet caramel malt with light vinous notes, treacle, resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, alcohol warmth, very nice and interesting. On tap at North Country Brewfest 2016.

Draft at Barcade. Cloudy dark owner color with a thin head and drippy lacing. Strongly bitter/hoppy aroma. Bitter and boozy. Lacks from not being super well rounded. Dry close. Okay, but could use some sort of balancing something to make it feel more like a well crafted brew.

Beertopia 2015 #4. Clear deep amber copper pour. Aroma is super oily malty. Tastes like hop candy in heavy malt. Not great.

Pours deep amber into a snifter. Off-white conglomerate head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Sweet citrus and caramel aromas. Thick with hot caramel and lavender upfront turning to a warming resin burn in the lasting finish.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pink pry off capped sharp shouldered bomber pours with a clear copper body that has thin gold hues and supports a thin white head. The aroma offers up resiny pine hops, boozy heat, vague fruity esters, malts and then a toffee note. The taste begins with malt sweetness and booze and then quickly getting into resiny pine hops. To midway it picks up thin ribbons of toffee, a bit of citrus and then some floral hops. The malts seem a little too forward and it tries to get into some thin layers of juiciness but it doesn’t really make it. Nice sipper.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours bright orange/copper with a slight beige head. Aroma of citrus, and earth, or maybe some calypso funkiness. Close call. I can imagine a bit of pineapple as well. Nearly full bodied. Flavor is rather malty, with citrus, earth and near funk, also fruit ester notes - like maybe some pineapple? It surely is not dry, and it’s not burning bitter, and there’s a heat trace/trail/ But it’s loverly.

Sample at the "Ten Beers You Haven’t Had" Beer Tasting & Movie at Studio 35 during CCBW on 05/03/2015. The beer pours a slightly hazy amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Fruit, hops and malt in the nose. Full-bodied with flavors of tropical fruit, earthy hops and grainy malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
