Pours clear blonde. Small white head. Smell is sweet and hoppy, fruity. Taste is sweet, malts and some hoppy aromatic taste. Touch of bitterness.

Rich, super hazy, deep copper and orange coloured body with a very thin, fast-dying tan head. Bright aroma of grapefruit hops, alcohol, malt and some grassy notes. Medium-bodied; Deep alcohol and bitterness from the hops with a lot of earthy malt, grass and even some apricot flavours along with the pungent grapefruit and cascade hops. Aftertaste shows a pleasant bitterness with a good balance of deep malt and a nice grassy and herbal note with some solid complexity throughout. Overall, a nice Imperial IPA with some good flavours and a pleasant balance along the way. Definitely nice to try and a solid addition to the Brooklyn lineup. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Fairfax, Virginia on 15-November-2014 for US$2,49 sampled at home in Washington on 30-December-2014.

Tap at Branded in Prospect Heights. Dark copper pour. Aroma is great - fruity hops with white grape, mango and citrus. Taste is less aggressively hoppy but still has fruity character. Strong carbonation and pretty bitter. Quite drinkable. Would get again.

Keg at the Bottle Shop, Bermondsey, on my 40th crawl 11/10/14. Lightly hazed golden orange with a decent beige covering that retains well. Nose is caramel malt, bread dough, spice, bitter orange, light tropicana. Taste comprises bitter tropicals, light pine, orange pith, grapefruit, caramel malt, mandarin, candied fruit peel. Medium + body, fine carbonation, lightly warming booze in the close. Ok DIPA, hides the ABV fairly well, not one I’d rush back to though - kind of a safe bet offering, this Bois prefers more hoppage!
