Can @ Patricks. Slightly unclear golden body with a big, lacing, fluffy white head. Strong aroma of Citra hops, some peach and malt. Flavor is refreshing citric fruity, peach, light grapefruit, sweet malt and hint of bread, pleasant bitterness. Balanced body and long lasting fruity bitter aftertaste. A very nice, solid, tasty, classic APA.

Can @ Burger Bordello. Dark brown body with a small, lacing beige head. Nice aroma caramel malt, dry fruit and quite strong coffee. Flavor is very smooth, dark brown malt, light roast, caramel, hint of dry fruit and nuts, balanced bitterness. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste where chocolate flavor seems to finish where the coffee ends. Very nice, both easy drinkable and a bit like a coffee flavored desert.

Bottle. Black body with a nice, dense, beige head. Lovely aroma of strong, good coffee, chocolate and some roast. Flavor is quite sweet, but very pleasant roasted coffee, dark chocolate and milk chocolate with balanced bitterness. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Not very complex really, but sometimes complexity is overrated when a coffee stout can taste this great with mainly just coffee and chocolate flavor.

Can. When I opened the can.....oh my what a great aroma. The taste was great also. But after the aroma it didn't quite live up to it.

Can. Slightly cloudy gold with a two finger head. Taste is the correct mix of citrus and coriander. Nice beer.

Can. Pale gold in color with a two finger head. Really nothing special about this beer. Just an average American lager in every fashion.

Bottle. So, it's another IPA. Yes, it is. Wait. This one is actually not too bad. I guess there is still surprises in the IPA world.
