On tap at Brouwer's Caf� for Big Wood '12, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of dry hops and wild turkey barrels upfront, seeming finally like a BA IPA where the hops are still prominent, no doubt due to the dry hopping. Flavour is likewise well-balanced between the dry hopping and the barrels. Again, an IPA that is well barrel aged without obscuring the IPA qualities. Good stuff, but doesn't hold a candle to the regular Vortex IPA.

Can 1 pt. Courtesy of byaeger. Pours a cloudy amber with a creamy off-white head leaving a little lacework. Nice citrusy hops in the nose. Fairly rich body, heavy on both fruit and caramel, but it’s really all a platform for the juicy and citrusy hops leading to a bitter finish. A very solid and fairly big IPA. 221112

16 oz. can courtesy of Sean and Amber. Perfect eye appeal. Hazy gold with a thin layer layer of head. Flavor is mild, light coriander with solid wheat character. Lots of sugar, I guess the candi sugar is the Belgian character. When it gets warm, it kind of smells like perfume. The lemongrass makes it a bit different as well. It’s ok.
