Can 47,3 cl. Pours an opaque black with a rich, creamy and lacing light brown head. Distinct Bourbon and wood aroma. The body is surprisingly modest considering the color and strength and actually a bit too modest for the heavy Bourbon accents. Roast and chocolate, but the Bourbon dominates. Getting quite boozy towards the finish. 310126

Can, slight haze on pale. Decent white head fades to thin blanket. Simple nose, just fresh smelling beer with very little indication of peach or IPA. Yes, taste is quite IPA - ish but that is followed up with some peach lurking in the background. And you can tell its 7%, it has a slight warming sensation. Decent carbonation. In the middle the fruit seems to increase a tad. As it warms becomes more like any other mere IPA. Of course, a long bitter IPA rude finish. Extra point for the mild peach flavor, distracts a little from the IPA notions.

Has the heavy, sweet mouthfeel of Big Little Thing and a strong citrus pith and pine bitterness offset by lemon drops, orange, and a touch of mango. Ultimately grows somewhat saccharine; lower the ABV and you'd have a much better beer.

12 oz can. Aroma has notes of citrus (tangelo), biscuity malt, latex. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head with decent retention. Taste has a moderate building to high pithy bitterness with flavors like the aroma. Carbonation is prickly to creamy.

On tap at The Beer Temple. Pours a clear light yellow gold with a white head that dissipates do the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has bread and sweet grass with a hint of citrus underlying. Flavor has grass and earthy bread with a note of hay and light pine backing.

About to have a beer called springfest on the eve of a winter storm of the century. Pour is a very light looking blond with a large white head. Aroma is grapefruit and lemon hops. Flavor is more bitter grapefruit hops. No malt to get in the way of the hops. She's a bitter one and quite tasty.

It is a regular ale, on the American way. The color is copper, bitter, hop, malt, a bit watery but it is easy to drink, drinking it a long time ago, to repeat one of these days.
