Pours dark brown/black color with tan head. Roasted malt and pine hop aromas. Roasted malt and chocolate flavors with some citrus and pine. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Decent, but I was hoping for more hop flavors.

Pine, grapefruit peel, and orange peel aroma. Mahogany, medium beige head, good lacing. Charcoal initially. Swift transition to orange peel. Finishes with pine. Smooth bitterness without being resinous or biting. A good everyday IDA.

Pours dark brown/black color with tan head. Aromas of citrus and roasted malt. Roasted malt flavor with some grapefruit. Medium body with average carbonation. A bit of a letdown after enjoying the Hoppy Feet 1.5 so much.

Not a bad bipa, just a little too bitter for me, not enough roasted malt character to balance the grapfuit. Decent, not extraordinary

Pours dark brown/black color with light brown head. Aromas of roasted malts with lots of pine and citrus. Citrus and pine flavors up front with moderately sweet roasted malt finish. Medium body with average carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. Their best brew I’ve had by a long shot. Excellent!

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a very dark brown color with a medium creamy brown head. Decent head retention. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and something faint that seems dirty and off. The taste is bitter hops, some roastiness in the finish and faint nuttiness. Medium bodied. A bit muddled and well off balance.
