Notes from September 2012 $7 bottle from New Beer. Ommegang chalice sorta thingie. While waiting for this frozen lake of a head to settle, I guess I'll start to review it. Micro-beaded, incredibly dense custard foam. Dark, cloudy amber body. Smells of condensed milk & sticky spilled beer. Tastes of lightly burnt sugar/marzipan & black tea. Light ale fruitiness, crusty bread. Semi-dry finish. Carbonation is on the low side, but at least the body isn't too heavy. Thought it be better.

16oz can from Halftime. Hazy orange pour, thin, patchy, finely beaded head. Aroma is tropical fruit and citrus. Taste is fruity, mango, lemon, melon with a mellow tartness that catches more in the throat than on the palate. Smooth, light floral notes.

Mildly hazy, golden colour with a warm-whitish head, decent stay and lots of foamy lacing spots. West Coast grassy aromas with a light caramel base. Some citrus notes do come out to blend in the NEIPA-style. Getting a balance of grassiness and citrus in the taste. The mouthfeel is wet with a lightly, drying finish. A nice refreshing DDH IPA with a mix of both coasts, but maybe a little more Westy than Easty.

Lightly hazed, golden-pink colour with particles of different sizes floating around. The head is frothy, whitish with a pinkish hue, average stay and decent soapy lacing. Fresh, fruity nose with mostly wild strawberries. Blueberry sweetness does come out with time. Wet mouthfeel with a touch of dryness. The fruits are milder, watered-down in the flavours. A decent, light, fruity beer that is refreshing.

2021 edition bottle found in the back of a shelf, pouring a dark brown colour with lots of ruby-copper highlights. The head is bubbly-creamy, quite long lasting, warm beige and leaving some very nice lacing. Aromas of a Black IPA with the roasted malt base and some grassy hops. Eventually, oak-vanilla from the barrel comes out with the wine notes. I do get more white wine characteristics than red Sauvignon. Smooth mouthfeel, kind of slick long lasting, and nice building dryness that lingers lightly. Vinous notes that blends with the oak, roasted barley and hoppy grassiness. A pretty good Black IPA with the oak barrel of red wine adding a nice touch.
