Courtesy of TampaBrew, thanks Gary. I thought we were thinking this might be the Station Lady Columbia IPA? Oh well, I’ll follow like the mindless sheep that I am. Pours clear copper with nice off white head. The aroma is mild with pine, earthiness, floral and grapefruit hops mixing with some malty sweetness. The taste begins earthy then moving to pine and then toward various layers of malts and crystal malts and then biscuit into the finish.

Bomber with dark blue wax from Archer Liquor. Pours a rich copper, slightly hazy, with a three-finger white head. Aroma is pine, citrus, and peach! Near full bodied with foamy carbonation. Flavor is rye, caramel, and a lot of resin and citrus. Seems to have hot bits. Nicely bitter. Bready rye flavor. Finishes bitter and interesting. Not quite smooth, not too harsh. That rye works well. Kind of yeasty/spicey. Maybe that’s the hot bits. Really good stuff.

22 ounce bottle shared by CrellMoset. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy amberish copper color with a thin wisp of sediment floating in the middle. Moderately large head with good head retention and lacing. Aroma is malty and nutty with peppery notes from the rye along with fruity hoppy notes featuring mango and other tropical notes. Taste is leafy hops, citrus, mango, rye and nuts. Very faint bubblegum notes as this has almost a faint Belgian vibe going on. Medium bodied.

22 oz. bottle. $9.50 at Sam’s this week. Don’t know if the wax is actually navy blue, but the bottle does show Brian Shimkos as brewmaster, so I’m sure this is this beer. Pours a darker brown than the average IPA, with a rocky, lacy head. Deep down smell of citrusy (Amarillo?) hops, plus a bit of malt syrup and rye spice. But no syrup in the taste, that’s for sure. This is not quite an imperial strength IPA, so the hops don’t have to fight with malts. Spicy character from rye in the malt, but also, I think, from some noble hops in the mix. Lot of caramel roast without overdone sweetness, which goes well. I was actually in the mood for a sticky hop bomb. This wasn’t one, but it makes a great impression by itself.
