22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy amber brown with a small white head. Aroma brings out English hops, toffee, and biscuity notes. Flavour brings out toffee, biscuity malt and some English hops to balance. Well-balanced, with toffee notes on the finish. Decent beer, but nothing special.

Clear golden, small white head. Light, malty aroma. Malty, fruity flavour without any of the typical esters. Bad hefe.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with small white head. Clear aroma of malt, with notes of yeast and hops. Sweetish, malty flavour with notes of yeast and hops and subtle touches of citrus. Rough and estery afteraste. Okay but not much more than that.

Pours a clean deep amber colour with a creamy-foamy off-white head that stays quite a long time for an impy. Lacing is pretty good too. Aromas of grassy hops, sweet roasted malts and fruity notes. The roasted malts really come out in the taste with the grass blending things. Mild dryness that gets stronger as the hop lingers. A milder, well-balanced Impy IPA than most, that is not trying to be a hop-bomb.

Hazy dull light amber. Medium head. Earthy aroma and old school bitter but dull cheesy hop character. Not great but old school.

Certainly pours foggy apricot-juice with a very modest head that’s almost nothing at all. Aroma is a detergent-y apricot smell which is rather on the sweet side and perhaps somewhat troubling for those who are fans of apricot rather than sweet apricot soda. Flavour is okay apricot and not too sweet followed by wheat ale hints and a small mention of detergen that leaves the whole deal a little cloying. There are some good elements here but they are not working well. It’s merely drinkable.

What’s up with the dry IPA’S today, ah well fine I’ll say something on this.
Into a tulip, the appearance is a ruddy orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated in about a minute. Some speckled lacing comes across in mild and messy sort of way.
The smell started off with a roasty to somewhat burnt caramel aroma and only as it warmed there was some light citrus but for the most part, even that really stayed in the background.
The taste was mainly sweet through the caramel malts. The citrus ends up escaping a bit on the taste.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed somewhat subdued and lead to a really dry effect on my tongue.
Overall, this is a dry roasty caramel DIPA, does it fit the style...hmmm...maybe...would I have it again...hmm...maybe as a night cap.

12oz bottle from Wegman’s, West Seneca, NY. Amber with a ring of white head; aroma of fresh hops and caramel; citrusy taste - perhaps red grapefruit - and quite full-bodied; with a clean spicy finish. A well made IPA.

Pale orange with a bit of gold, slight thin white head. Aroma of apricot flavored baby food and ketones. Taste is like Miller Light with apricot jucie added. Flavor likely comes from apricot juice added after fermentation, or possible from artificial flavorings. Finish was reminiscent of fertilized soil. Drain pour.
