bottle thanks to muckjoe! Pours a murky redish brown with a medium tan head. Brown sugar and maple syrup nose with some chocolate malt seeping through. Sweet and mildly tart with sour cherry and a sweet carmel malt ends bittersweet with more brown sugar. Nice brew, thanks again Joe!

Sample at Neil’s HSC initation. The beer pours a hazy bright orange color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel and earthy malt. Medium, clean body with flavors of caramel malt, light hops and a bit of bread. The finish is sweet and malty with a lingering caramel aftertaste. Overall an average ESB that skews too far on the sweet side.

First let me say this is more DIPA territorry than IPA. Big fragrant swirling aroma of hops. Looks pretty appealing in the glass. Streams of fine sparkling carbonation. Fine medium thickness alabaster head leaves friendly rings for lacing. Bitter soap first sip. Followed by a taste bud impact of rototilling palate. Nasty rudeness, more nasty than most other IPAs. A personality you cannot get tired of. Lets mix green grapefruit rinds and dish soap in the blender for a healthy drink. Oily coating, but still glad to have tried it. $5 per bomber at the Vintage. On the finish, the linger stays with you like the refridgerator that won’t shut off in the middle of the night.

Our friend Travis brought this one from out of state to a party. Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark orange-brown color with a trace of a white head. The aroma was fairly strong fruity and piney hops. The flavor was sour, tangy and nutty with light caramel and moderate fruity and floral hops dominating. The finish was long, sour and bitter fruity hops. The mouthfeel was fairly thick. Nice.

Thanks to JaBier for sharing a bottle. The beer is a mostly clear orange-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes steadily. Hoppy aroma with bready malt notes. Medium body with sweet malt and Amarillo hops flavors, as well as a touch of grain. The finish is moderately hoppy with a lingering bitterness left over. Above average overall.

Bottle: Poured a a copper color ale with large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of bitter hops with some floral notes and a nice caramel malt backbone. Taste is also a nice mix of well balanced bitter hops with some floral undertones and a sizable caramel malt backbone. Body is about average with good carbonation and no sign of alcohol. Very well done, easily drinkable and very refreshing.

Sweet bonus from Beerman6686. Pours deep gold with thin off white head. The aroma is full and yummy with citrus tangelo and grapefruit hops. Yum. The taste is smooth and a bit thin with flavored citrus tangelo juice mixing with an increasing amount of grapefruit hop bitterness. By midway a mild level of sweet maltiness and graininess surface. This is a solid IPA but timid IIPA. Very tasty either way.
