Can from Beverage Warehouse. Cloudy yellow, tons of sparkle, ample head with excellent retention, nice soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus and pine. Taste is strong pine over citrus. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and lightly bitter finish as taste. Well executed citrusy/piney IPA. Very nice look and feel.

On tap at River Roost, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma has lots of crunchy vegetal hops, some tang, pithy stone fruits, and chalky muddled notes. Flavour is better, with some NZ hop tang, pithy stone fruits, vegetal notes, and light-moderate chalk. Tangy, lightly muddled finish. Good if a bit muddled.

On tap at River Roost, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma has bright Mosaic mostly, with tons of tropical hops, almost no hopburn or chalk, and gentle citrus. Flavour is juicy and bright, with lots of tropical hops courtesy of the Mosaic, some pine, and gentle citrusy and piney bitterness. Expertly brewed hazy—if this was the style standard, I’d be a fan.

On tap at River Roost, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is similar to the base, with allium, more floral hopping than the base, minimal hopburn/chalk. Flavour is more chalky than I’d like, with lots of floral hops, stone fruit pith, and then chalk and hopburn kick in. I like the non-DDH more.

On tap at River Roost, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of onion, a touch of woody pine, and thankfully minimal hopburn. Flavour is reasonably clean, with little hopburn, juicy stone fruits, light allium, and some pith. Not really discerning the Chinook. Pleasant enough.

On tap at River Roost, pours black with a tiny brown head. Aroma is complex and elegant, revealing the best of both the brandy and bourbon barrels, light vanillin and some molasses. Flavour doesn’t disappoint, with exquisite barrel depth—both tons of brandy and bourbon revealing the full boozy depth of the 13% here—with molasses, vanilla, and gentle dark fruits. Not too sweet but quite boozy in a palatable way. Wonderful.

On tap at River Roost, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma bursts with wonderfully gooseberry and white wine-like tang from the Nelson, with a soft biscuity malt base. Flavour is likewise super tangy courtesy of the Nelson, with white wine, gooseberry, and a soft biscuity malt base. Wonderful expression of the Nelson. Excellent.

16 oz can traded by tfontana, thank you buddy! Great aroma of char, chocolate, burnt coffee. Flavor is a carbon copy with the addition of some hop bitterness. Good balance of chocolate/ ash and bitterness. Nice.
