Bottle - Lots of grass and lemon with bright grapefruit. Cloudy light gold with a decent white head. Fleshy grapefruit, sweet orange, and a nice light finish. Well balanced and very easy drinking, hard to believe it is a double IPA.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance had a nice hazy bronzed brown to orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving a messy sort of foamy white lacing roaming all about.
The smell had an earthy yet bittersweet citrus to piney aspect with a light underscore of caramel malts.
The taste was earthy sweet and the bitterness came across fairly subdued. A light caramel to bitter citrus roamed in the aftertaste and bled into a dry earthy sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat more at a medium on the body with a balance between the sessionable and sipping aspects. The carbonation seemed fine and the bitterness seemed fairly tame.
Overall, wishing there was a bottling date somewhere, still I’d have again.

Pours bright clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing to coat surface. Tropical fruit aromas. Sharp with sweet bread, caramel and passionfruit upfront turning to warming papaya before the lasting, bitter earth finish.

Pint on draft at Worthy Burger. Cloudy grapefruit juice in color with head that vanishes quickly. Aroma has a nice level of fruit, grapefruit, peach with some yeast.
The bitterness of this beer does stack up a bit as I sipped yet it had a chewy yeasty character that hold the hops at bay. Rather large malt bill to keep the hops from shining through. I have had session IPA’s or single IPA’s with a bolder hop profile. I don’t mean to sound negative at all; still drinkable without doubt, just very sweet, malty and yeasty.

Bomber shared at a tasting. Pours a clear red with a thin creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of maple, roasted malts, caramel, dry stone fruits, a bit of mushroomy dms. The taste is maple, chocolate, caramel, nuts, peanut shells. Medium bodied.

Purchased in Warren, VT at a wine shop for a price of $7.99. Massive head that took 5 minutes to die before I could even attempt to sip the black liquid in the snifter. Aroma of burnt malts, coffee grounds, light vanilla hints.
Flavor had mild maple upfront , roasted nuts, dying vanilla beans in a fuller body. Man the flavor here is good if they can just tone down the carbonation. The body seems to be thinner than it should be. Of course it could be the Co2 playing tricks on my palate. I will re-rate this if I can get a draft sample because this bottle was a mess. My rating is based on flavor alone….

650 ml bottle purchased in Warren, VT for $7.99. Crystal clear gold with lasting head and lacing down the snifter. Aroma is rather piney, hints of grass, with a kiss of citrus. Very drinkable.
The flavor starts with mild citrus and tropical fruits. Palate is nicely oily then turns into a dry pine. Medium body, mild carbonation. Hops aren’t as powerful or bold as I was hoping for but with that said it still is a real tasty.

Draft at The Reservoir. Pours clear gold in a mason jar. The aroma is perfume and fresh floral hops. Mild malt undertone.
Medium body with average Co2. Floral hops dominate the palate like the nose. Some notes of grapefruit, tangerines with the addition of some pine in the finish. Bitterness is rather lengthy and drinks like it is a bit higher in gravity without any kind of alcohol flavor. Pretty nice and straddles the line of a DIPA.
