A hazed dark amber DIPA with a thick frothy lacing light mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with piney floral hops, resinous and smooth, light oxidation and alcohol warmth, still solid. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with grassy floral hops, resinous and piney, light oxidation, treacle , very nice. This was the 9% version made by Rahr & Sons. B

12 ounce bottle, 7/11/14. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of candied citrus, resin, caramel. The taste is bitter resin hops, citrus, toffee. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, moderate lingering bitterness.

From a 355ml bottle on 22/7/2014. Pours a murky apricot with a small uneven head. Has quite a strong malt dominated aroma of caramel and toffee. Flavour wise, it’s very malt forward - more sweet caramel and toffee, along with some stone fruit. This is set off against some lovely, lingering, big resiny hops. Has a slightly creamy palate and quite lively carbonation. At 7%, I’m not sure it really is a DIPA, but it’s actually very enjoyable, and criminally under-rated on here imo.

Pours ruby-tinted amber with a large, lasting head.Heavy malt on the nose along with piny resinous hops. Very malty aroma.Very malty flavours too, clean sweet malt throughout. Also piny and minty hops with a bit of resinous bitterness in the finish.Carbonation is a little aggressive.
