Thanks to Armin for sharing - dark ruby pour - nose of dough, nuttiness, peanut skin, espresso, vanilla, maple - a bit messy in the nose - fairly dry in the flavor - a lot of hazelnut and peanut skin - light cocoa - vanilla - a whole bean coffee flavor rather than a coffee toddy character - a pretty high bitterness - meh - the coffee character is high, but of poor quality.

Pours a dark clear brown with garnet highlights that throws up a tall, sticky tan head. Roast malt aromas and muted hops. Roast malt and some hops in the flavor. Sort of what you might get if you blended a light stout with a medium IPA. Good body and no off flavors but this one starts up and doesn’t go any where. Still trying to figure out what this style should be.

Bottled@my birthdaybash@Chriso. Golden colour, small creamy white head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is fruity, floral, mild strawberries as well as quite malty. Flavour is similar with some caramel and crystal malts. Mild wooden notes in the finish as well. Long wooden, fruity and floral aftertaste.

Super hazy golden coloured body with a bit of a honey glow and a thick, dense soapy tan head. Aroma of very nice pale and grassy hop notes, some yeast and light coriander seed spiciness. Medium-bodied; Grassy, herbal hoppy flavour at first with some yeast and malt behind and very little in complexity. Aftertaste shows mostly hoppy notes with some unfinished wort type flavours and a little alcohol dryness near the end. Overall, an okay beer - about what I’d expect from Custom Brewcrafter beers and about right from Rochester. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 18-November-2011 for US$6.99 sampled at home in Washington on 23-December-2011.

Pours a hazy gold with a sticky, tall, white head. Hop aroma of pine and citrus. The flavor is a juicy malt base that holds up a resiny, citrus hop flavor and bitterness. They describe it well.

Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Hazy deep golden, small head. Pear and minty grapefruit aroma. Mid dry with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Dryish and drinkable, dominated by nice pear and citrus-like hops. Long bitterness.

Bottle at Pat’s birthday tasting at chriso’s. Pours hazy gold with a fine, white head. Big pithy citrus aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor, faint toasty grass bitters, more citrus pith, some straw. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Slightly dry to finish, yet more pithy citrus, light white sugar. Nice enough IPA. Nothing outstanding about it.

Pours mostly clear medium yellow with a short lived sticky white head. Funky sweet malt aroma with some citrus hops. Interesting aroma a little off the norm that I actually like. Lightly bitter but the malt is there too. Very sessionable IPA.
