Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is oranges, honeydew and mangoes. Very fruity. Flavor is again some tropical fruit with a bit of bitter orange peel. Finish leaves a little bitterness on the tongue but not anything over the top. This beer goes to show that you can make a fruity IPA without making it look like juice. A well done fruit bomb with no alcohol showing.

On tap at Cask Republic - New Haven, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh piney hops, some citrus and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bold, with fresh piney hops, lots of hop resins, and a lightly sweet biscuity malt base. Oily palate with lots of depth. A great old school IIPA here.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Lots of big dank, resinous pink and weed-like aromas. Caramel, pine and more dank notes all over the palate. Very beer-like and very enjoyable. Lingering piney bitterness with dank weed flavors.

Pours a dark amber from a can, thick white head with some lacing. Juicy, thin, somewhat bitter. Rather sweet. Hoo boy that 9% hits you though after a couple.

Can from Bruisin' Ales. Pours clear, brilliant gold with a transient white head. Aroma is tropical suggesting dankness. Med ++ body. Flavor is somewhat dankish fruit - tropical and citrus. Somewhat roasty malt is detectable. With repeated quaffs lots of things suggest themselves - including grapefruit zest and pineapple. There are so many flavor components I suspect anything might be found. It's very good ale.

Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum can poured into a snifter. Translucent orange with medium white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, medium body, medium carbonation, and small-bubble lacing. Taste is tropical fruit and slightly bitter finish. This is a good beer.
