A new batch for a new year! A nose of fresh grapefruit and malt. A fluffy white head with ample lacing on a translucent yellow/amber body. This is another strong IPA from Beyond the Pale. Tropical and citrus fruit up front with a touch of grapefruit rind giving it extra grip. Nice biscuit malt, a splash of orange, some soapiness, and a touch of pepper add to a very fresh, juicy and invigorating IPA.

NYE 2016 Ball Dropper version with 7.6% ABV. Pours a mildly hazy amber colour with an off-white head and decent lacing. Fruity nose with citrus notes of oranges, grapefruits and hints of grassy hops. The taste has the citrus peel bitterness, but not overloading. A nice dryness overall and a nice IPA to ring in the new year. Here's to 2018!!

Growler: Poured a medium amber color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops with light dry caramel malt notes also noticeable. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops with some earthy dry caramel malt notes and a bitter finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but more bitter then I usually like with a bit too much dry caramel malt.

A nice golden amber IPA with a thick frothy lacing off white head. in aroma, beautiful pungent floral and resinous hops, clover field, biscuit malt , in your face, like a new year kiss. In mouth, fresh biscuit malt with well balanced hopping, floral hops with citrus character, grapefruit, very nice. Mini growler from the brewery, tasted 2 weeks after.
