Kind of an odd one but not unpleasant. Pear for sure. Hard to tell from the can if it's added or what. Honey, I guess pomegranate like label says. Clear golden pour with ok head. Light bitterness in the finish, some sense of attic dust. Can from advent calendar from brew shop.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a clear, super dark mahogany color with ruby highlights and a beige head with great retention. Good lacing. Good peanut butter aroma. The taste follows the nose: Sweet peanut butter flavor, but not overly sweet. There’s still a little beer flavor in there. Smooth and clean. Medium body with a semi-creamy mouthfeel. Low carbonation, as expected. Not bitter. I've had better peanut butter beers, but this is good too.

Bottle at The Beer Bistro
Hazy, amber pour, with a big thick, sticky, eggshell head. Quite a nice aroma of pungent pine hops, with hints of citrus, but the pine dominates with a nice amount of chewy, bready malts. The mouthfeel is thick, and a little viscous, and the carb is quite soft. The finish is very piney, even a tad soapy. Some light citrus shows up, but is then vigorously beat down by more pine. A long heavy bitter finish, with huge pine, and soapy notes.

Dark ripe fruit, quite a bit of wheat and yeast, with a very slight spiciness. The finish is quite bitter though, throws the beer off a bit.

crystal clear bright golden pour. aroma of bready malt, and some slightly skunky hops. Flavour is sharp, and the hops add a slight soapiness, along with a touch of sour apple. and it finishes with a bready malty aftertaste. Interesting pils, maybe a little past its date, but still nice, but not my favorite, i think its a little over hyped.

pretty dark for an IPA, not really orange, more of an amber pour. Nice sticky beige head. Very nice solid grapefruit, piney hop aroma. Flavour is extemely well balanced between the hops, and the nice maltiness. Wow, one of the most balanced, and solid IPA’s i’ve had. Notrhing fancy, just well made.

very very hoppy, i swear when i smell and sip it, if it was a blind tasting it would guess it was a barley wine. very very hoppy. i’m not getting any coffee or chocolate i would expect from an impy stout. Still it’s very nice, but quite odd with the massive amount of hops.

nice red amber color, very very small head, nice lacing, and retention. aroma is lots of floral hops, and some really nice caramel and ripe fruit. flavor is very much hops, and caramel, very mellow, but strong at the same time. quite bitter in the end, alcohol is present, but not too much, very nice barley wine.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso va sul luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta ed è voluminosa. La grandezza delle bollicine a grana medio-fine. La carbonazione è eccessiva. L'aspetto del liquido è velato. La frizzantezza si manifesta sotto forma di bollicine medie e anche qui la carbonazione è eccessiva, e frizzante. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è normale e la costanza gustativa è sufficiente per una birra parecchio gassata. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di pronta beva. Il finale è dissetante e semplice. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Sulla lingua si depositano impressioni di miele e frutta secca.
