Thanks to OhioDad for sending this one. Starts with a huge, rocky tan head that forms easily over a brilliantly clear amber body. Bready malt aroma slightly punctuated by a hint of flowery hops. Light, toasted marshmallow sweetness in the flavor. Light, creamy smooth body. Not an overly assertive example of the style, but a well brewed, cleanly made beer. I’d drink this again.

Bottle pours a hazy dull orange amber with a thin light tan head. Thin even sheets of lacing. Aroma is mellow, sweet, fruity lke melons and lacking the sharp zing of the IIPAs Ive had recently. Flavor is very bold and up front. Balanced and huge. Big malty profule and lots of bittering hops duke it out for a knock-down drag-out. Rather highly carb’d and a rich palate. Sharp lingering bitterness. NIce. Not for the faint of heart. Thanks Pinkzambia for sharing your Secret Santa goodies,.

Bottle Poures a dark deep black witha large thick tan head. Lots of thick sturdy lacing. Aroma is nice and dark, sweet roasted malts, licorice, moilassas. Flavor is similar but with plenty of complimentary bittering as well. These foreign stouts are what I like in a fairly sweet stout. Smooth slick but a bit thin feel. Thanks Jordan !

Pours a cloudy strawberry blonde color, with very minimal lace - flat, bland aroma, with faint grapefruit, biscuit and a phenolic/alcohol smell - nearly no carbonation in the mouthfeel - my second oxidized beer of the evening (lucky me) - flavor is mostly watery, with orange sweetness and an eventual hop character that adds an unpleasant metallic bitterness - I guess this stuff really needs to be consumed fresh - thanks anyway OhioDad =).

Pours the color of an old penny-much browner than I expected. Quite a bit of carbonation, a mid-sized foamy head and a wonderful hops aroma. Evergreen scented hops dominate the nose, but grapefruit and a little malt are also present. I was really disappointed at how this one came together (or didn’t). Starts out with a strange caramel malt flavor that meanders its way to a Cascade hops bitter explosion at the end, but the problem is that the transition from sweet to bitter just isn’t smooth and takes a few strange detours on the way.

medium brown in color with little head on top. Aroma of malts and spices. Tastes of earthy spices, malts and slight fruitiness along with little hop flavor as well. Small bitterness in the finish.

Bottle Poured a hazy dark amber with a small quickly dissipating head. Piney citrusy hop aroma and a nice balanced hoppy flavor as well. A bit thin feeling but a nice IPA Thanks to OhioDad for this one

Had on tap at the Winking Lizard Tavern. Dark amber with little head. Rather hoppy in aroma and taste. Also some citrus and light on the malt. Fairly thin body with a fair amount of carbonation. A very respectable IPA
