Tallboy can courtesy of jackl. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a large creamy off-white head. Good head retention. I can smell the beer from two feet away and it portends good things to come. Aroma of dank, earthy, citrus, melon hops, crackery and raw malts. The taste is lemon, citrus, earthy, dank, resin hops, pale malt and a bit of raw malt, mild bubblegum. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, strong lingering bitterness. Very nice IPA.

On tap at pub. Pours out a nice golden topped with cream head. Is nice kick of hops pine citrus tropical fruit and some caramel sweetness. Taste is as the nose with a nice hop combo good grapefruit bitterness and nice malt balance.

I received this in an in person trade when I met him at the Hangar on the Wharf.
Because its an AIPA, I didn’t want to wait on this, sigh, I hope I don’t look like a beer snob but hopefully a beer nerd as I didn’t go out fishing tonight to sit back and really enjoy this beer. Sigh, ok, here we go.
I poured this into a pint glass because it is an AIPA. I didn’t see any date anywhere, but my trader did say this is two weeks old.
The appearance has a nice hazy golden color with a nice one finger white foamy head that ends up dieing after a minute. The lacing is extremely slight and stringy clinging right to the sides of the glass.
The smell is dank nasty - whoah, I love it for the most part, where did this awesome stuff come from (New Mexico, haha, I love it uh....Heady and Pliny uh...I think you have a contender), There’s a nice allocation of spicy and bitter hops to slightly overcome the sweet maltiness that ends up trying to come out.
The taste is mainly bitter but in a good way, as there’s nothing really telling me there’s any sweetness to it no matter how much I let it warm. The aftertaste is pure bitter and dank nasty (nasty in a spectacular way). The finish is somewhat dry.
On the palate, it sits about a medium in body with a decent carbonation that goes well for the AIPA style that is fairly harsh but still adds enough to compensate for a decent harshness.
Overall, in my opinion, this is an awesome AIPA that I would love to welcome again. However, because of where I live, I’m only able to get this through trade, no worries, I would love to have this again and possibly see if I could put this with its respected food.

16oz can from Elise. Filtered orange-tan body. Minimal, glass rimming head. has that "garlic" aroma, fresh, bold, citrus, vegetal aroma..think Enjoy By with its bold green garlic tones. Pretty much a phenomenal IPA. Bold, new school hop flavors with a clean, solid malt backbone. World Class, this is completely awesome.

Bottle: Poured a hazy amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of floral hops with nice light citrus undertones and grassy notes is quite a treat. Taste is also dominated by citrus notes with some strong floral notes with light resin and grassy notes. Malt backbone is present though quite dry and doesn’t interfere with the hops flavours. Body is quite full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well brewed and approaching HT level of goodness.
