Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2012, Olympia, London. An amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hoppy, tropical fruit aroma. Typical US DIPA territory, tastes hoppy, malty, sweet, sticky, plenty of grapefruit. Smooth and so easy to drink, delicious!

Canette 355ml, courtoisie d’un bon ami. De couleur ambrée-orange et semi-voilée. Nez de houblon citrique, moyennement résineux et légèrement herbeux, malté de caramel sucré, moyen de fruits (agrumes sucrées) avec des notes de biscuits. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement huileuse avec des notes résineuses. Moyenne amertume de houblon citrique (pamplemousse) aux notes résineuses (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) accompagné d’un goût fruité (agrumes) dès l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel sucré avec un moyen goût de biscuits et des notes de pain puis en finale l’amertume se fait sentir en se montrant plus asséchante et légèrement plus herbeuse. Post-goût long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon citrique aux notes résineuses et herbeuses ainsi qu’avec un léger goût fruité (zeste d’agrumes).

Draft @ Bull Finney, Portland , ME, Hazy amber color with nice retention served in a Baxter glass. Nice nose of spruce, bready malt and citrus. Taste is spot on the nose. Meduim body, Really balanced IPA, not going to blow you away with bitterness. Real easy to drink, very tasty.

New IPA in a can, yes please! Pours a crystal clear deep copper color with a huge fluffy white head that takes forever to recede and leaves lots of sticky lace on the edges of the glass. Smells of citrus hops up front, grapefruit and a hint of lemon with some pine and resin thrown in for good measure. There’s a solid malt backbone there, bready, caramel, honey malts. Taste is a bit maltier than I expected. Lots of bread and caramel sweetness. Kind of light on the hop flavor, although the punch of hop bitterness is evident. Medium body and level of carbonation, sweet almost sticky mouthfeel. Decent IPA but a bit heavy on the malt for my liking. There’s a lot of harsh hop bitterness in here, maybe more later hop additions and a bit fewer bittering would work a little better.

can at Geddy’s in Bar Harbor - Pours hazy orange with a small white head. The aroma is of pine and citrus accented hops. It has a good, crisp, bitter flavor with notes of grapefruit and pine along with backing malt that balances out this medium bodied brew. Good IPA.
