Bottle at Sander’s in NYC. Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. Malty aroma, mild orange citrus. Light sweet flavor, moderate sweetness, bready malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Bready malt finish, mild yeast, faint toasted sugars. Very tasty beer.

A golden pils with a thin white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with surprising floral hops with light lemon notes. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with loads of citrusy floral hops with catty notes, alcohol warmth, very nice.

Bottle from Andover liquors. Pours a deep copper color with a huge white head that quickly dissipates to a cap. Smells of rich caramelized malts with lots of bready pilsner and subtle spicy floral hops for hints of balance. The flavor is rich sweet and malty with lots of melanoidin and hint of prunes and plum with a light earthy spicy hop flavor. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. Nice Marzen! Not overly hoppy like some American versions, but rich and malty like better German versions. I enjoyed the hell out of this beer.

Bottle. From notes. Maple syrup and a good dose of meaty smoke. This is definitely a bottle to share.

Bottle - thanks Jake! Pours hazy butterscotch with a medium white bubbly head that lasts a long time and leaves great lacing. Aroma is a less pronounced version of double sunshine - citrus, grapefruit, passionfruit, cat piss. Flavor is the same, light sweet and light to medium bitter. Mouthfeel is a little light, which is really the primary nod to lagerdom. Very nice beer, and a strong argument for IPL to have its own style.

GBBF Day 1. Hazy dark amber - red - brown beer. Small pale tan head. Palate is smooth and light, semi dry. Smooth malt with a mild dark chocolate streak. Whisper of smoke. Very fine minerally carbonation. Touch of dark fruits before a smooth and dry finish. Not bad at all.

Cask at GBBF 2013. It pours darkest brown with a medium beige head. The nose is earth, smoke, honey-glazed ham, treacle, light cocoa and faint medicinal notes. The taste is smooth, roasty, bitter-sweet, smoke, earth, treacle, brown sugar and cola with a dry, sweetish finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Well-balanced and rather drinkable.

16oz bottle or whatever size it was. Poured a black color with the consistency of cola with a medium-tan head. Aroma was sweet malts with plenty of roasted character, vanilla is there. Alcohol is rounded out quite a bit. Quite good.

16oz bottle or whatever size it was. Poured a black color with the consistency of cola with a medium-tan head. Aroma was malty notes, brown sugar, plenty of roasted character. Flavor was malt, caramel notes. A bit boozy, pleasant, but just kind of here.
