Growler at RBWG. Pours an amber with small off white head. The aroma is grapefruit and pine. Medium mouth with nice hop bite, grapefruit, pine and resin finish. Very good.

Draft at the brewpub courtesy of lithy. Thanks! Pours a clear copper color with a large frothy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of big toffee malts with citrus and resin hops. The taste is herbal, citrus, melon and resin hops with toffee malts. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness, just a bit off balance. Solid DIPA.

Growler at RBWG 2013 Grand Tasting. Pours deep orange with a white head. The flavor is well balanced with lots of juicy malt supported by a firm resiny bitterness. Aroma of citrus and pine.

Growler at RBWG 2013 Grand Tasting. Pours deep gold with a frothy white head. Smells great, lots of grapefruit, pine, melon. Medium sweet flavor, some gritty pine, grapefruit rind, sweet lightly toasted malts. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Mildly resinous finish, pine, ripe citrus fruits. Decent beer.

On tap at the bocktown monaca. Too nice of a place for the hillbillioes that live in that general locale. May not make it because of the prices but yet a really nice plce. This beer was simply labeled church brew double IPA. First impression is it is a pale lager in appearance. Head fades rapidly. THe intriguing aroma is that of your mate’s b/o after sex, eh quite interesting. No co2 greets my palate. I think this beer is too well behaved to be a cloying double IPA. Yes, well behaved and fresh, crispy I think. Not destructive, almost likeable and I hate IPA. YEs, on style for a well amde IPA but falls short of the terribly insulting attributes of imperial.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a hazy golden-apricot color with a medium sized foamy tan head that left good lacing. The aroma was strong sweet pine, pineapple, grapefruit and fruit cocktail. The flavor was sweet and bitter fruit cocktail, pine, and catbox. The finish was long and bitter with lingering fruit cocktail and pine though turning a bit dry at the end. Moderately full bodied and the alcohol was well hidden. Nice.
