Dark brown colour, off-white head. Malty aroma, nuts, caramel, molasses. Malty flavour, sweet malts, honey. Malty finish, nuts. The age starts to show on this beer, but not for the worse, I quite like it!
(from 66cL bottle @ home. Bottle no 7. Generous gift from JTClockwork, thanks!)

Quite hazy golden and light peach coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall tan head that fades relatively quickly and shows a very ugly lace on the sides. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal body with a light grapefruit and citrus note that shows a touch of resin and light sweetness, but this is all about the hops, at least in the nose. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very herbal flavour at first with a nice dry malt and a good citrus hop note that shows the proper, if slightly light amount of malt tucked in with some light sweetness at the end, but fairly simplistic and underwhelming throughout, but showing a good bitterness at the end that reminds you that it's still a decent enough IPA. Aftertaste is mellow with only the malts and hops really coming through, with some light fructose and sweetness based from fruits noticeable at the end. Overall, a decent enough beer that shows a good profile from the hops with a soft fruity flavour and a touch of herbs, but the taste really all comes from the hops with a mellow maltiness as well. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 21-November-2018 for US$3,79 sampled at home in Washington on 01-April-2019.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing this one! Looks really good in the glass zippy, small head. Sourish-moldy aroma. Starts intense sourish, fruity like ripe fruits, apricot, lemon, some grape. Salty-bitter background. Woody hints. Really nice one!

Many thanks to nimbleprop for this bottle! Smooth sourish nose. The beer starts sourish fresh, round and smooth. The sourness is nice and round, the woody chardonnay is a bit in the back. Deep sourish, wood and funk.

16 ounce can. Honey gold color. Huge bubbly white head rises above the top of the glass. Malty nose is reminiscent of lemon chiffon. Yeah, their is a hint of Lemon Pledge. Tart lemony citrus hop notes upfront. Bready malt notes in middle. Slightly minerally, metallic finish.

16 ounce can. Opaque black color. Small creamy tan head. Rich, roasted malt nose hints at chocolate and espresso. First sip is dark chocolate, molasses, espresso and a hint of oakiness. Soft mouthfeel. More chocolate and additional notes of caramel. Warming alcohol comes in as well. Complex and warming. Well done.

16 ounce can. Medium gold color. Massive foamy beige head. Fragrant citrus hop aroma has notes of orange, Lemon and kiwi. Flavor has tropical citrus fruit notes. Balanced by a biscuity malt undertone. Midtaste brings notes of white grapefruit and lime. Finish is dry and spicy with notes of pink pepper corns.

Draft at Shepherd and Knucklehead. Unclear orange, no head or lace. Citrus rind, and little spice, lemon, and bread. Light sweet, light bitter. Slightly thin, fizzy. Okay.
