I like the shape of these bottles, they pour nicely. Brownish orange sparkling hazy looking stuff. Rather neutral aroma on a slightly stuffy nose. Taste is big giagantica thick bitter nasty rotoller. Warming greasy alky blast all round. Forget about anything but the taste of this for the next 5 minutes. Throws you on your back just when you figger out yer gittin a half nelson, heheh. One rude ass beer mahfah. Not impressed, simply over the top, down the hatch and over teh side of the table.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a semi-dark burnt orange to brown color with a one finger white foamy head that quickly dissipated. Messy light lacing all over the place.
The smell starts off with a sharp citrus to piney hops moving into subtle crisp spicy tones over a caramel malt backbone. Nicely balanced.
The taste took in all of those flavors. Caramel malt seemed a bit more pronounced. Semi-dry sticky citrus / piney to sticky caramel malt aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sipping quality about it. Carbonation runs fairly smooth. Malts and spices balance to hit my tongue.
Overall, this one seemed to be very well balanced. I’d have again.

Amber color with tan head. Aroma is resinous hops, cough syrup. Taste is resinous hoppy, toasty malt body. Allright, but it has some flavours I’m not fond of.

Bottle: Murky caramel color with a finger of sticky beige head. Lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is typical citrus and piney hops, plenty of sweet maltiness. Tastes moderately bitter and more sweet than typical for style. Citrus and piney hops, some dirty florals. Kinda reminds me of a fresh hop version that has meandered past fresh… good, but not quite what it could be.

Bottle. Clear amber with a large pale beige head. Aroma of sweet dough, vague citrus, pine, over-ripe tropical fruit. 6-7. Very sweet and sticky. Heavy resinous bitterness hacks away at it and numbingly succeeds. Fruit flavors are not completely buried but have nowhere to move. Some overt alcohol.

Undated can drunk 9/6/15.
Amber-copper body is clear and topped by an off-white head that is dense yet small.
Melon, pine, grapefruit and very little in the way of lighter tropical fruits. Caramel and rich honey malts work against the heavy resin, while alcohol heat is notable immediately, especially so with warming.
Big, rich, bold, aggressive flavors show no nuance or elegance. Sharp alcohol and resinous hop flavors fight against sugary, dense malt sugars and the resulting mess is a win for no one. Sent this one to the drain after a few sips. No patience for these crass, aggressive, messy beers.
