Can from Craft Brewed shared at Lucky Bamboo. Pours a clear light gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Very lemon zest forward nose with some light grapefruit and crackery malt aromas. Slight notes of grain, white grapefruit and lemon again on the palate. Crisp and clean with a spritzy, well-carbonated finish. New world hops with a lighter malt body. Decent enough, but I think I preferred version 1.0.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy, almost milky glowing neon straw gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Pithy citrus, pineapple and dank aromas. Quite dry on the palate with more pith and white grapefruit notes. Lingering bitter citrus and mineral notes. Drier than some of the others in the series, but I dig it.

Lovely, brutally bitter IIPA, a throwback to hop bombs from a decade ago, a combination of classic citrus and pine notes followed by a clingy, oily, relentless bitterness, rounded out by grainy, spicy rye love. Modest caramel sweetness adds an orange marmalade undertone, but this shit’s about the hop vitriol, and that’s what dominates. A nice middle finger to NEIPAs. Tasty as hell.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Thanks Joe! Pours a deep brown to black with purple highlights. Big blackberry cobbler aromas with pie crust and blackberry jam and loads of rich fudge and cacao nib as it warms. Smooth and full bodied on the palate. Thick as the kids say these days.Lingering jammy blackberry, cacao nib and pie crust graham notes. Killer take on this great base stout. --- Beer merged from original tick of Blackberry Ccbbler Navel Gazer on 07 Jun 2019 at 10:38 - Score: 8

Aggressively spicy, with a lingering pepper bit that eventually crowds out any more traditional milk stout notes. Chocolate, vanilla, and raisin come through towards the middle, but the capsaicin eventually overtakes the pint, leaving a palate-scouring heat too prominent for any cinnamon or char notes to take hold. Not bad, but heavy-handed.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Big juicy tropical nose with mango, coconut and pineapple aromas. Great juicy mouthfeel and soft texture. Prickly bitterness on the finish. Great NEIPA from New Heights!

2019 bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Thanks Aaron! Pours a clearish copper with a full finger of beige head that lingers. Big fruit forward nose with plum, prune and raisin alongside dark chocolate, caramel, oak and vanilla. More oak on the palate with rum raisin, creamy vanilla and bourbon. Boozy, but not overly so. Drier than most barley wines these days and really drinkable for the abv. Never cloying or overly sweet. Lingering oak and bourbon with more fruit cake and faint smoked cacao on the finish. World class stuff here.

Draft at New Heights. Pours a thick and viscous deep brown to black. Lovely, big bourbon and oak forward nose with tons of cacao nib. Full bodied, whisky & oak in check. Balanced. Smooth, sweet toffee on the finish. This is killer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Buffalo Trace Barrel Aged Navel Gazer on 09 Dec 2018 at 15:09 - Score: 9.

Draft at New Heights. Pours a tomato juice looking light orange red with a small off-white head that dissipates. Big cinnamon, allspice aromas with cranberry, passionfruit aromas. Fruity & spice forward on the palate. Lots of tiki beer goodness. Tomato juice texture and mouthfeel with the passion fruit really standing out. Good stuff.
