Muddy amber, thin head, aroma is yeasty, slightly fruity, kind of muddy, moderate bitterness, toasty malt. Needs some work, gotta clean it up because it’s kind of amateurish. Just a yeast bomb with poor flavour development. Had to send it back.

On tap. Pours a dark amber with light foamy head. Aromas of caramel, orange marmalade, spruce, and toasted malts. Flavors of sweet malts, toffee, and pine. Simple but nice, and easy to drink; definitely not a hop bomb.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a dirty opaque orangey brown with a medium beige head. Aroma is on the maltier side, with caramel malt, some citrus zest, and resin. Flavour confirms the maltiness, with lots of caramel malt, a rich resinous hop profile, and some residual sugars on the finish. Not usually a fan of these malty IPAs, but this is quite well-down. Solid beer.

Hazy Amber color with creamy head. The aroma has light traces of yeast, sweat and butter. Caramelly flavor, lean, with strong resiny hopping, and an impression of vegetables in the final.
Very nice.

Cloudy red-amber color with compact head. Some fruity hop aroma. Smooth mouthfeel, fairly sweet, with caramel flavor, resiny hops, strong bitterness, a bit fruity, but also a trace of diacetyl.
Powerful, but I’m not fully convinced.
