Named after the coulter big cone pine tree is a well balanced I.P.A. It brings the style of I.P.A. back to its roots. Brewed with a hint of rye for head retention and a deeper malt character, this brew has the best of all worlds, great hop aroma, a strong body and deceiving strength.

Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Very light airy palate, light as a feather! Light malt base, mildly sweet. Lovely hops - minty pine, whispers of skunk and lime. Mild hop spice. Finishes airy and light. Lovely balance of hop flavours and so light and drinkable.

Bottle on 13th July 2014. Looks good in a pint sleeve, full on amber body with bubbles rising through the clear body to a deep off white head. Plenty of piney hops in the aroma and taste, fairly bitter but with a healthy malt content in the mix as well. I found it easy to drink and really enjoyed it, the alcohol content is well hidden and although it is a hop brew first and foremost it was not one dimensional like some American IPAs I have had.

Handpump at Birratrovo, Como
Cloudy light amber color with generous frothy head. Light malt and hop, not impressive. Smooth, lean body, with elegant light sweetness, good malt, salty feeling, strong bitterness, nice fruity and resiny touch.
Nice but could be fresher.

16oz bottle pours with a clear copper body that supports a full nearly creamy head of tan foam. Right when I pop the top my aromatic senses are assaulted by garlic and shallots and onion dank hoppy goodness. Upon further inspection the dankness doesn’t seem as bold and I also pick up thin snippets of citrus hops. The taste is similar, yes I say, as I get a nice mix of dank earthy shallot like hop flavor and bitterness with a flash of citrus too. It moves into being progressively more bitter midway and into the finish enhancing the experience. This is nice stuff with pleasing balance between hop bitterness, hop flavor and a lightly sweet malty body.

Draft at Imbibe Wine. Nose is citrus and lighter amounts of pine. Lightly hazy copper with a medium cream head. Flavor is bitter as all IPAs should be with piney, grapefruit notes sneaking through from the nose.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours clear copper with a foamy frothy off-white head. Aromas of grapefruit and resin. Med body or better. Flavor is a soft malt backbone with a decent load of grapefruit and resin. Sort of on the road to NW, but not too close. The rye is perceptible and the hop is very nice. If it’s time for IPA, this could be a good choice.

Draught Thick, creamy, pale lemonyellow head over fully hazy orange beer with fine pearling. Citrussy hops, featuring mandarine and orangepeel. Dry citrussy bitterness, but with a fine aromatic, near bodycare-like perfumey finish. Spritzy MF, quite slick, hop-oily. Rather middle-of-the-road IPA, but nothing wrong.

On tap at Eagle Rock. Pours with a hazy golden body and a white head. Aroma of citrus, fennel, mango and fruit. Taste is dry, bitter, fennel, coriander, mint and nearly a belgian yeast presence. Lively and dry mouthfeel. Either an interesting hop profile or some yeast that is abnormal for an american ipa.
