12 oz. bottle, pours a clear deep amber with a small beige head. Aroma is full of truckloads of resinous hops, big orange rind, grapefruit peel, tropical fruits, and huge, sticky caramel malt as well. Flavour is massive in both the hop and malt departments, somehow retaining wonderful balance. Again, there’s truckloads of resinous hops and big sticky caramel malts on the other side, with lots of bitter grapefruit peel and tropical stone fruits on the finish. Balanced well for such a monstrous, old school hop bomb. Excellent.

Caramel, lime zest, and rubber bands. Sweet and sugary, with a mellow, grassy bitterness. Light, sticky, and a bit acrid. Pretty weak and fair.

cloudy yellow, smooth creamy beige head
almost peppery chalky herbal hazy-ipa hoppy aroma, quite crisp, good body, grapefruit, pine, green grapes.
flavor is grapefruit, pine, herbal bitterness, bittersweet malts - a bit too bittersweet for my taste - it's like the extra abv added some bittersweet notes instead of more malts or more hops. or maybe like the flavors around what alc. really tastes like are not strong enough so you get the alc. bitterness directly. this makes the beer a lot less refreshing and quenching than it could've been.

clear yellow - not light yellow more on the way to light golden, white head
traditional IPA aroma with flowery notes as well as citrussy notes. good crisp aroma.
flavor is slightly citrussy hoppy with a good quite solid hoppy bitterness that lasts to the end. malts are crisp, body is quite average - not thin as i had feared, very drinkable very traditional american ipa. well done.

Opaque brown color with a thin tan head. Slight malty aroma. Flavor is a nice balance of malt sweetness, woodiness, and mild hoppy bitterness. Dry, woody finish. Easier drinking for a darker beer.

Amber color with bourbon and lemon aroma. Flavor is sweet, mild bourbon, alcohol, and tart lemon. Crisp finish. Reminds me a little of a sour cocktail.
