So, ok, from a bot this is a red IPA? OK so, again, let’s make a red IPA style? Fer sure the aroma is rich deep dull. White, red, black, what else? FO! This is simply a darker IPA and its not black, its just dark like a yingy. Yes, bitter and all that shit for an ipa and there you have it, another ubiquitous ipa brew. Lets all jump on the bandwagon, ips this and ipa that and ipa wtf. Go figger, its ipa barmy. And, guess what, it’s inspired by the devil himself, what evvvvvah.

22 oz. bomber filled 12/16/2015 (!) Pilsner glass A: Deep cloudy orange brown with a thick, slowly diminishing head of beige. and thick lace. S: Raisiny smell is an immediate turnoff for me. Not an IPA scent T: Bitter sharp hop taste first off. Earthy or floral? Roasty malts provide a good foil. No dark fruit taste (yay). M: Smooth and creamy texture with medium body. Finish is slick and bitter. O: Good looking and tasting ale though seems to be a niche product. Hate the RIS-like aroma but the taste is good and plenty bitter. Not bad but not a repeat purchase either.

Rich deep copper and light brown coloured body with a thick, two centimetre tall tan head - quite dark for the style, but still looks good. Aroma of nuts, earth, caramel, toffee along with some earthier and nuttier hops - seemingly of East Kent or German origins. Medium-bodied; Assertive floral and toffee flavours at first with a hit of hops right at the beginning and a finish of malt, earth and caramelised sugars and not much else. Aftertaste shows a lighter taste of raisins, grapefruit, pine and more earth, but still not much character around the malt - more hoppy than anything, but not overly complex or flavourful. Overall, a decent IPA that has it’s moments, but given my good experience with this brewery, I was expecting and hoping for more, but this fell short. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 09-March-2014 for US$2.39 sampled at home in Washington on 03-June-2014.

Draft: Pours hazy amber with a small white head. Scent is peppery orange. Taste is barley malt, orange-peel bitter. A little spice. Not bad.

Bottle at Craig’s. Pours clear copper, thick white head. Light citrus aromas, mostly toffee though. Some bitterness on the taste, sweet finish. Odd one.
