Clear copper body with effervescent carbonation; thick, puffy buff head that leaves nice lacing. Sweet aroma with resiny hops and a caramely, toasty malt backbone. Piney. Reminds me of a Stone beer. The body is rather thin, bitter, and resiny, with heavy emphasis on rather flavorless bittering hops. Prickly. Bitter, almost caustic finish. Not particularly pleasant.

12 oz bottle-pours a big foamy off white head that laces and amber color. Aroma is nice citrus hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is citrus hops, secondary medium malt. A good cross over, mostly English style, IPA. OK/mild carbonation. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.

This fruit beer poured a cloudy light yellow colour with a bright white foamy head. To the nose there is scents of citrus fruit like orange and grapefruit. First taste is very watery with a faint flavour of raspberry. Very little carbonation. The palate is a weak attempt at a fruit beer with a light lingering fruit flavour. Way too light.

Bottle that releases a transparent copper body with a foamy one-finger head. Aromas are crisp and hoppy... pine and citrus. That said, the flavor is fairly weak... there is obviously some alcohol present as it leaves a bit of warmth, and it’s not like it comes off as watery... but it just doesn’t seem like the flavor volume is turned up far enough. Maybe the hops in the aroma (pine and citrus) don’t match the peppery hops presence that I’m tasting and my mind is short circuiting.

Bottle releases a coppery body with about a one finger head of beige foam. Aroms are grainy, grassy and pleasant. Flavor starts of well enough and then gets a little funky as it heads for the finish line. Initial bread and malt presence is ephimeral and yields to slighty metallic hops and a bit of a watery finish. Things come back together a bit for the aftertaste, however and I think it got better as it sat for a bit. Drinkable, to say the least.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a bit of reddish translucence and a quickly fading head. Aromas are of nuts, stale coffee, chocolate, wet cardboard and slightly rotten potatoes. Coffee comes through strongly as a flavor and there is a bit of a sourness to it that compliments the earthy flavors. Still, it is a bit thin and doesn’t really go anywhere.

Yellow rim on very deep-brown beer. Slightly roasted, some hints at malts. Roasted, liquorice, finely malty, drop , a bit Coca-cola like. Light mouthfeel, even watery. Pretty dull beer.

Bottle. Grassy hop aroma with light malt. Slightly hazy gold color with a decent white head. Thin to medium body with sharp carbonation that turns creamy. A little watery, not much hop, could be a faint hit of "hot" hop spice. Finishes a little herby. Fairly clean. Not much to it, all in all.

bottle - Pours clear amber/orange with a one finger white head. The aroma is of citrus hops and caramel malt. The flavor is a solid balance of these hops and malts that isn’t terribly interesting, but it’s good. This beer is medium bodied and has the characteristic long, bitter IPA finish.
