Month old bottle into an IPA. A: Deep orange body with a short, tight tan head. Good retention and great lacing. No visible carbonation. S: Bright zesty orange and faint caramel aroma. T: Bitter orange pith, zest and strong enough woody malt sweetness to compete with the hops. Slight alcohol. M: Medium weight with crisp subtle bubble scrub and lingering coating resin. O: A tad strong and sweet for me personally but admittedly a good IPA nonetheless.

Draft at Salud. Black color brown head. Nice aroma of burnt toast and bitter cocoa. Taste is coffee grounds and chocolate. Light body.

Rather tame for a decadent Imperial Stout, muted both on the stout and the adjunct sides. Nose offers strong chocolate with a tiny hit of booze, and the pour is sufficiently black and boisterous. Yet the flavor never really develops much beyond basic stout notes; predominately chocolate, with nary a java bean in sight, growing a mild dark cherry-fig sweetness as it warms. Finishes semisweet, with a rich cocoa nib dryness, but the roasted boozy indulgence you want from an Imperial Stout never comes through. Decent, but much better options are out there.

Pour is a thick motor oil black with a large tan head. Aroma is a nice roasted malt with some burnt caramelized dark sugar. Flavor is chcocolate and some of the vanilla with a heavy sweet roasted malt. I did not get much of the coffee but there is plenty of chocolate and vanilla along with a rich roasted malt. No dry chared malt here, this is nice and roasted with some sweet but flavorful adjuncts.

Pour is a hazy lemonade looking yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a nice citrus fruit hop with some green onion. Flavor is a very clean mouthfeel with a nice blast of citrus. It shows up and is gone in a flash. Nothing heavy or cloying about this beer. A decent light bodied but flavorful IPA.

Sample at NC Rare Beer Festival in Durham. Hazy to cloudy golden yellow color, big fluffy white head. Peppery aroma. Taste is very earthy. Interesting.

Can. Lactic lemon, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Yellow with small head. Mildly sweet-tart lemon, biscuit malt, mild salt, and lightly bitter straw flavor. Nice balance and body. Very tasty.

2 month old bottle A: Pours clear pale gold with 1/2" of thick white foam. Decent retention, good patchy lace and busy carbonation. S: Light but sharp lemon and sweet bread scent. A little zest. T: Sweet and sour bread in great balance with hop notes of lemon and pith. Zest and melon aftertaste. M: Medium bodied with fine beaded carbonation. Slightly chewy O: Really nice hoppy lager in all categories that I look forward to each spring.
