Tap at MAH. Hazy thick orange tan body. Foamy, steady white head. The Denali hops add a different herbal tone, but I suppose with the tangerine peel it is hard to tell which is which. Not really an improvement on regular IPA, but sort of leans into a modern realms a little I suppose, not so far removed from White IPA. Rind forward after a bit.

750ml bottle. Gunshot sounding opening, leading to some controllable gushing. Unfiltered deep burgundy amber-brown body. Big, excessive, flussy beige head. I tend to associate gushing with infection, and I find some odd, enjoyable sour edges here, It’s not all the way gone, there must have been enough malt depth to start with to be OK, but I somehow doubt this is at all what it tasted like a few weeks in...mild infection slowly aged. Not at all impressive, barely drinkable at first. Certainly came around some as it breathed, maybe showing signs of former glory.

Tap at MAH. Sweet, rich, a beast of a US Doppelbock. Leans into the malts as it should. Sweet, not much carbonation. Sweet and easy for the ABV. True to style. OK.

Tap at MAH. Sugary, sweet, but somehow thin Baltic Porter. Very caramel forward, left me wondering if it was lagered. Not so great.

I didn’t know much about Denali hops. So I looked it up on Google and it’s very impressive as a juicy tropical fruit kind of hop. However I don’t get any of that here, it’s more a resiny. Nothing too special or exciting. But not bad.

Aroma and appearance with great, flavor less so. It’s on the dry side which enhances the bitterness and detracts from the best parts of the grapefruit matching up against the hops.

Bottle courtesy of nuplastikk, thanks! Hazy golden amber color, thin white head. Aroma of overripe apricot. Taste is fruity, lightly medicinal, peppery.
