Can from the brewery, tagged 01.10.18, 7 months old
Amber colour, hazy. Rich malt base with sweet caramel accent, and cereals; given the age not much was expected from the hops, they seem to deliver sweet orange notes; what is important is that even after this time the beer doesn't present visible flaws, although I sense that the hop has never been very bright.
Still an enjoyable drink, kind of old style IIPA. I consider that this is not a sample in optimal conditions, but I thank the brewery for the opportunity to try it.

On tap at Northpaw, pours a cloudy bright orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out chewy caramel malts upfront, followed by resinous hops. Flavour is sweet and malt, with lots of caramel malts, followed by resinous hops. Very sweet and over-malted, but at least it's not infected like their prior diacetyl IIPAs.

Darker copper body with a bit of foam. Big rotten armpit hops on the nose. The flavour is oversugared hops with more sugar on top - just unbalanced. Drinkable but a mess, at least the high abv is invisible.
