Description
Craft beer is a passion, an obsession and a journey. This journey has opened our eyes (and taste buds) to some of the finest examples of beer this planet has to offer. Our tastes and expectations have forever changed, and so have our methods of enjoyment. From beer trades, to home brewing, to attending release parties and festivals one thing became clear… We rarely drink the same beer over and over again, and we love to share.

Draft pour at Ocelot. POured a dark, but still mostly clear brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was relatively subtle. Flavor was big and bold caramel toffee bourbon. The base characteristics are kind of muted a bit due to the barrel aging. There's more vanilla, and warming liquor. Toffee finish. Smooth going down, which was nice.

Slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a nice, relatively large, three to four centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of crisp citrus and a lot of floral and very grassy notes with a light alpha acid bitterness, but more on the dry and herbal side of things with a good malt backbone throughout. Light to Medium-bodied; Grassy and very dry flavours up front nwith some hops noticeable, although only a little of the citrus and stone fruit flavours, more is definitely coming off of the piney and floral notes, all with a good malt backbone that shows perhaps a touch more mild than most in the style. Aftertaste shows the soft malts with a little sweetness from fruit, but really just a light balance of herbal, grassy, floral and slightly citrusey hops with a tiny bit of bittterness, but not much in terms of complexity. Overall, a relatively balanced, more herbal and grassy than citrusey IPA that doesn't really show New England components, but more of a traditional East Coast IPA that highlights the grassy and floral notes. I sampled this sixteen ounce can, given to me by BlueJacket GM after a hockey game in Arlington (Ballston), Virginia on 26-February-2020 - Thanks Erik!
