Bottle. Clear amber color, medium white head. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit. Taste is bitter pine resin. Decent.

Bottle. Clear yellow color, small white head. Aroma of bitter lemon and pine. Taste is vanilla, citrus, oak. An odd combination. I’m not sure that the barrel ads anything to the style, and this one really doesn’t make me want to try other BA IPAs.

Pours pale amber with a lasting white head.Nose shows herbal and spicy hops with some faint bready malt.Flavours are on the hoppy side, more herbal and spicy notes along with very soft caramel backing. Fairly hoppy finish with a bold bitterness.

Bottle. Pours an orangish gold with a decent head and lovely aromas that behold a little bit of aged IPA (cardboard and caramel), citrus and pine. Flavor has quite a bit of mango, citrus, caramel and a hint of soap. This is yummy.

(500ml bottle) Poured clear pale amber with nice off-white head. Nice but subtle aroma from the hops - floral, pineapple. Medium body with good carbonation. Hops dominate the flavour from start to finish. There’s very little else left in the flavour except at the start perhaps some lemony notes. However the hop flavours do evolve, ending with a good assertive bitterness that is not very long lasting. Overall a very hop dominated beer and somewhat unbalanced, but still very drinkable.

Bottle, 14C. Black with a tan head that settles to an inch, fades to a coat with fair lacing. Aroma of burnt sugar, figs, coffee, coconut. Oily. Sweet with dark sugars and figs, quite strong roasted malt, coffee. A little astringency from the OK coffee - it’s a big part of the flavour but it’s not that interesting. The figs go missing for a while then return. Finishing bitterness asserts itself gradually. Begs for cheese. Pretty good.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis, CA. Pours translucent gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is mixed grass/herb/citrus. Med body. There’s a creaminess in the mouthfeel. I’m thinking there’s some Nelson here, but it’s also subtly floral and citric. Pretty nice, though not intense.
