Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a deep brown to black with 2 fingers of foam that lingers. Smooth and rich chocolate aromas with some faint bourbon and oak notes as it warms. More of the same on the palate. Well made, but fairly one-dimensional...would like a little more barrel. Didn't really find the Belgian characteristics. --- Beer merged from original tick of Departed Spirit on 22 Oct 2018 at 13:59 - Score: 7

16oz draft pour. Hazy orange gold with decent white head. Nice pineapple, tangerine, lemon aroma. Flavour is a little watery, doesn’t quite reach the aroma. Nice bitter finish

Bottle - pours gold - nose and taste of lemon, funk and oak - medium bodied. Solid.

Got in a BIF from KMitch. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. A bit malty/muddy aromas. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, toasted biscuit, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/sticky, and fairly crisp/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this a very nice IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth, easy, and fairly crisp to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Feels like Classic C's/Amarillo hops. Very juicy and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; balanced bready Munich malt backbone, mild residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering. Well made and classic tasting style example.

Bottle: Poured a pink with white. Aroma is raspberry tart. Taste is raspberry tart.

On tap at Brick Store Pub, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out grapefruity hops, with citrus, and biscuity malt. Flavour is very crisp and punchy, with piney hops upfront, and crisp toasted biscuity malt. Punchy and bright. Very well-made IPA.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a pretty gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Bready malt aromas with some floral hops and lemon notes. Feels a tad heavy and maltier than some takes on the style. Bready finish with some light leafy bitterness. --- Beer merged from original tick of Prince of Pilsen on 28 Jul 2018 at 19:26 - Score: 6
