Bottleshare at Leighton’s gaff. Big thanks to Leighton for the can. Light haze on this amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, mildly sweet. Bitter orange peel, tangy bitterness. Bitter lemon into a dry and spicy finish. Not bad at all.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from Premier Gourmet, near Buffalo. Pours pretty much clear orange with a frothy, mostly white head. The nose holds ripening citrus, orange, crusty bread, gooey pine, marmalade. Medium sweet flavour with moderate piney bitterness, crackery malts, rindy orange, more jammy citrus. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with some resinous pine, lightly toasted pale malts, some white grape, more ripe citrus. Really not an ’East Coast IPA’ in the modern sense of the term. A little ham-fisted. Drinkable, but not the best.

Can care of LKS. It pours cloudy orange - amber with a medium beige head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, oily, orange marmalade, decent malty backbone and bread. The taste is drying, bitter, floral, orange marmalade, resin, dirty pine, alcohol warmth and waxy citrus with a drying finish. Medium body and average, foamy carbonation. A bit malty, but not bad.

Can shared in London - picked up in Buffalo. Pours clear orange with a creamy, off-white head. The nose holds fairly rich bready malts, nips of caramel, ripening citrus, orange, light pine. Medium sweet flavour with some gummy citrus, grainy pale malts, moderate piney bitterness, orange rind. Medium to full bodied, chewy, with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with some boozy warmth, gooey pine, rindy citrus. This one seems like a bit of a throwback. Drinkable stuff.

Fairly simple malt aroma. Reddish color as you might have guessed. Flavor follows suit. Not bad, but nothing exciting. Enjoyed the Badass significantly more of the two Roc beers I tried at Tap.

I would have thought this was an IPA, not a double, but either way, I found this one surprisingly impressive. It has a nice citrus hop throughout the aroma and flavor. Good bitterness level as well. Nice mouthfeel.

Location: Sampled at Tap NY, 4/27/13
Aroma: The nose is fairly dull, and on the malty, with some nutty and caramel notes
Appearance: It pours a brown color with a red hue and a beige head
Flavor: The taste is much the same, dull and malty, not bad, but just not exciting
Palate: The body is medium, it has an okay mouthfeel, and a soft carbonation
Overall Impression: This one wasn't all that exciting. It wasn't a terrible beer, but it didn't do all that much for me either. It was fine, but it was not a favorite of mine from the festival.
