Tap at devils canyon. Clear amber, medium white head, nine lacing. Aroma is caramel and pepper. Flavor is medium sweet with a delayed peppery heat that comes on late and lingers. Medium body. Interesting, and very much not retired.

I picked up a bottle at Total Wine the day they got it in and drank it a couple days later. I’m not sure when this was bottled or how long it sat in the distributors warehouse, but this beer was terrible. Old, stale hop aroma with lots of caramel. Similar flavors with a hint of rye. Medium body with average carbonation. Down the drain!

Bomber at The Winchester Mystery House tasting room. Pours amber with a creamy tan/beige head. Malty, slightly floral aroma. Flavor is malty with lots of non-bitter hop. Floral and a little earthy for flavor. It finshes towards dry, but not quite there. Finishes more earthy than it started. Seems to acquire a smoky/scotch aspect. Nice drink - a tasty amber.

Devil’s Canyon brings us a 3.7% IPA!!! Probably my first session IPA in Japan, on tap at Rokko Beer Dinner. I love their menu & the variety in terms of styles & countries. A great clear amber color with a slightly too thick head of fluffy white foam. A nice fruity hoppy pine aroma. The mouthfeel is a bit watery which shouldn’t be so surprising considering the low ABV. The flavor is mostly an astringent pine bitterness... so I am a touch disappointed. Decent session IPA but one dimensional, though living in Japan you gotta love the name!

Deep dark amber coloured body with a ridiculously large just off-white head, about 8 centimetres tall. Aroma of rye, specialty grains, light grassy hops and a bunch of alcohol and deep bittering notes. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rye flavour with a very deep hop note up front fading to a more earthy malt vibe and a little alcohol warmth noticeable. Aftertaste shows a ton of rye - more than the hop flavours, all with a lot of alcohol and quite a bit of earthiness. Overall, a nice rye-based IPA with a great look, just perhaps too much earthiness and rye flavours and not enough hop balance, for the style, especially. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased from Total Wine in Tustin, California for US$8.99/4pack on 02-May-2013, sampled at home in New Paltz, New York on 05-July-2013 - thanks Phil!

Pours copper with a large head.Nose shows grassy, piny hops along with faint apple characters. Some spicy rye too.Pretty aggressive flavours. Lots of grapefruit and pine but little else to liven things ups. Not much malt, but some toasty, spicy rye. Sharp metallic finish.Too much carbonation.
