Reviewed from notes.
Thanks to Ryan for the bottle.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance had a hazy orange to light ruddy yellowish brown color. There’s a light glossy white foamy lacing trying to stick but sliding for the most part.
The smell had a slight pine to citrus to grassiness trying to have a delicate grapefruit but really stays towards the pine.
The taste was bittersweet pine/sweet citrus with a misleading spice that I’m unsure where it came from because I didn’t get any of that in the smell.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there but not as sharp as expected for the style. This one comes across smoother than expected.
Overall, mainly a good AIPA but almost doesn’t have enough sharpness in the palate/mouthfeel.

Sample at The Ohio Taproom. Clear dark brownish-amber color with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Malt, caramel and bananas in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of biscuit malt, banana and earthy malt. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

From a bottle fairly thick head. Cloudy yellow with a tinge of brown. Smell is medium ipa perfume. Taste is big bitter chewing on grapefruit rinds happy bullshit. Yes, bitter sides of tongue impact like so WTF. This should be in the imperial ipa style, wew. Fary off. Un impressed.

Bottle at home, thanks to an IP trade with Michael C, 11/05/13. Pours pitch black with a thin dirty tan head that clears to a film but stays for the show. Nose carries a good coffee ’whack’, brown sugars, light mineral notes, roast malt, toffee fudge. Taste is coffee forward, tiramisu jus, a touch of booze, vanilla, light chocolate notes, roast malt backbone, sugars but not OTT sweet. Full bodied but at the lighter end of the spectrum, carbonation is fine, well pitched keeping the 9% eminently drinkable. Great breakfast stout, I love my coffee beers, this hits all the right notes and the 9% ABV is well disguised.

Hazy orange caramel color with a large head. Aroma is resinous hops, molasses malt, light citrus, and earthy hops. Medium, smooth body. Flavor has citrus and light pine hops, a bit of sweet malts. Not bad but nothing to write home about.
