Very nice cloudy orange body and good foam, chewy orange zest on the nose with caramel notes. Flavour is lots of orange zest, soft biscuit, chewy maltiness. Excellent full finish and mellow oiliness. A DIPA done right.

Growler, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Nose is full of vibrant resinous hops, piney notes, and tropical fruits. Flavour is vibrant, with lots of resinous hops, pine, and tropical fruits. Really lovely melon-like hops. Excellent.

Nice deep gold body with bronze hints, modest foam. Smells of candied apricot, sweet peach, artificial with a hint of pine. Flavour is more piney apricot, smooth pine. Good oiliness and the mouthfeel is well hidden. A little simple but still okay.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a dark brown with an amber tinge and small beige head. Aroma is fairly faded, with earthy notes and toasted malt. Flavour is quite muted, with dry earthy notes and light toasted malt. Not much to this. Lame.

Bright juicy pine aroma, has great foam on a foggy orangey gold body. Flavour is a bright mix of orangey hops and some sharp malts. Mouthfeel has good carbonation with some mellow crispness. This is chewy and there's good balance here, highly drinkable.

So aged a year this is black with a thin head. Lots of bourbon on the nose, but also chocolate and alcohol. Thin, fairly boozy, some chocolate notes but it does seem a little underdeveloped.

Cloudy, medium head, tart, some bourbon, clashes a lot. The individual elements aren’t bad.

Fruity and acetone notes. Cloudy go,d with a small white head. Lots of intense stone fruit with just a touch of higher alcohol.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a cloudy dull orange with a small white head. Aroma is chaotic and full of glue / paint thinner, with a trace of barrels. Flavour is a total mess, with glue, barrels, paint thinner and booze. A totally incoherent mess. Needs a lot of work.
