Always experimenting and expanding

We brew in small batches in our 15 barrel brewery and we’re always experimenting with new recipes. Dan and Pat ,with previous experience from the wine world, get to marry the fascination with the natural world and the art and science of fermentation.

Dan keeps cooking up some good recipes and Patrick the builder keeps finding ways to add more tanks and increase our production.

22 oz. bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out truckloads of resinous hops, piney hops, some tropical fruits, and just enough biscuity malt backing. Flavour is fresh, with a good mix of piney hops, light tropical fruits, resinous hops, and biscuity malt to back. Super fresh and bright, with an excellent hop blend. Excellent stuff.

Tasting at Ferris’; bottled 02/18/2015
Hazy blond color, paler than all your usual IIPAs. The aroma has a very light animal character, musky, forest, pot; very nice. Light mouthfeel, fairly dry for the style, skunky, resiny, with delicate fruity touch.
Original, excellent.

22 oz. bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a clear yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is pretty dank, with dank herbal hops and a touch of malt sweetness. Flavour follows suit, with loads of dank resinous hops, loads of pine, and just enough biscuity malt. Wonderfully hoppy and dry, very dank from what I assume are citra hops. Excellent stuff.

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.
