Bottled. Clear orangey brown pour with white head from bottle. Citrus and a bit of malts. PRetty drinkable for a IIPA, not too much booze taste. Pretyy good.

Bottle. A very bitter IPA. Really strong. Better for getting a quick buzz than anything else.

Some citrus and pine. Lots of booze and caramel like Easter at the bar. Orange pour with ok head and lacing. Herbal bitter finish with touch of sugar. Bottle.

Bottle. A hazy, dark golden to amber beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma is rather piney, with resins, pine cones and a touch of pale malts. Bitterness, pale malts, resins and a nice citrusy, piney hoppyness. Full body and a nice carboonation level, with some palte malts, resins and grapefruit peel. Lasting resiny finish. Not bad this one, but nothing extraordinary going on. 150621

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark orange-caramel color with a lots of little floaters and a medium sized foamy-creamy orange-white head. The aroma was sour and tangy pine and vague fruity hops. The flavor was bitter and tangy pine, grapefruit, lemon, caramel and a bit of cracker. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.

Bottle, courtesy of nimbleprop – thanks! Pours a clear, but deep golden color with a finger of creamy sandy head. Fresh aroma reminds me of a wet hop ale; citrus, tropical, and resin. Good, clean tasting DIPA. Citrus, pine resin, and caramel. Soothing malt bill really jives with the Simcoe. Nothing exotic, but solid and well made.
