Keg at Coin-Op Game Room, SD, 12/11/14. Clear light golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is bitter citrics, orange pith, grapefruit, light pine, melon. Taste comprises juicy citricana, grassy hop bitterness, light pine needle, straw, pale malt. Medium bodied, fine carbonaton, semi drying close. Easy enough drinker but lacks hops and dynamism to be a great.

22oz bomber picked up at the brewery pours with a clear gold body that has copper hues and supports an off white head. The aroma pushes up a mix of mango, tangelo and floral hoppiness ringed thinly by some spicy onion like hops. This is an inviting aroma. The taste starts with a three headed hop attacked from tangelo and mango and spicy mildly dank onion like hoppiness as well as a thin rings of floral hops out at the edges of the flavor. It gets a little more sweet and juicy with citrus and mango to midway before those notes fade into the finish. Darn nice IIPA that is full in flavor yet somewhat tame and soft in sweet citrus juiciness.

Poured up at the brewery where it exhibits a clear gold body that supports a white head. The aroma offers up habanero chili peppers as well as some tangelo citrus hops and spicy hops at the edges of the experience. The taste is straight up chili meat heading quickly into capsicum heat and burn. Beneath the chili is a brief beer note. I love the habanero flavor but the impending burn and pain is a little much and takes away from the enjoyment of the beer.

Poured up at the brewery where it exhibits a nice looking copper body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up smooth sweet smelling malts, molasses and dark fruity esters as well as a light vanilla and bourbon note. The taste begins with sweet malt infused cherries and prunes and then it gets into sweet vanilla and mild smooth bourbon. This is just smooth and delicious. Somehow the barrel treatment and huge ABV don’t crush the beer notes. Solid!

Poured up at the brewery where it exhibits a nice yet murky dark mahogany body that supports a bright tan head of foam that has a golden tone to it. The aroma offers up malt sweetness, molasses, burnt malts and nuttiness. The taste is smooth, rich and sweetness that is enhanced by roasted malts and slight burnt maltiness. It has a nuttiness that seems sort of coconut or something. It ends as smooth as it started but there’s a modest malt bitterness going on.

Poured up at the brewery where it exhibits a clear gold body that supports a thin white head. The light aroma offers up snippets of floral hops as well as a bit of malts. The taste is smooth, light and refreshing with modest floral hops and a light maltiness. It gets into a lime like quality into the finish. Pretty nice.

Poured up at the brewery where it exhibits a clear gold body that supports a bright white head. The aroma offers up woody, floral and then there’s some nice citrus hops going on here and there. The taste is juicy and good but seems a bit thin at times. I get herbal, floral, tangelo and a bit of pineapple like hops to midway. The hops grow into more and more resiny and hoppy bitterness toward the finish but it still maintains floral hoppiness. Underneath all of those notes murmurs thin spikes of woody and spicy hops as well. Pretty darn tasty brew.
