On tap in goblet at Tuckaway Tavern. Aroma is pine, grapefruit, mangos. Appearance is hazy light brown (like cider) with minimal white head/ring, no lacing, indiscernible sparkle. Taste is similar to aroma; alcohol covered well. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture and average carbonation, warmth in the chest after the swallow.. Overall, a strong smelling/tasting beer with nice array of hops.

On tap at Cask and Vine. I’m told this is an IPA brewed with hops the brewery has leftover and looking to get rid of. This beer was brewed with Ella, Centennial, and Nelson Sauvin hops. Slightly hazy deep yellow. Earthy fruity resinous hops with what I founds as mint especially in the flavor. Faint bready maltiness. Definitely different, but I enjoyed the heck out of this.

On tap at Cask and Vine. Solid dark brown with a frothy off white head that persists forever. Rich roasty light chocolate maltiness with a solid shot of earthy hops to balance. Silky creamy smooth mouthfeel. That is a really nice stout right there, I may have to get some more of that.

Tap at Cask and Vine Barely brown color with and off white head with decent retention. Big coffee notes with a pleasant supporting light roast and caramel backbone. Nice brew, great coffee that’s not overpowering, but could use a hint more chocolate maltiness imho.

4 Ounces at the brewery and a growler to go. Thick viscous black liquid with a creamy foamy tan head that persists forever. Huge chocolate and brown sugar on the nose with plenty of earthy hop bite to keep it from cloying. Faint dark dried fruits and a touch of ethanol round this one out nicely. Thick body light carbonation and a creamy velvety smooth mouthfeel. Really impressed with this beer, it is quite good!

On tap tonight at the distributor showdown at Cask and Vine. Cloudy murky color of light grapefruit juice. Aroma of bitter pith and yeasty earthy phenols. Flavors of pithy citrus fruit, quite astringent in a bad way with hints of yeast and light funk. Not a fan.

650 ml bottle purchased at Craft Beer Cellar Portsmouth. Darker Amber color... Shit. Aroma is weak citra dry hopping. Just light weak hints of mango and tropical type fruit.
Taste shows a strong caramel malt billing. Or maybe the bottle is old?? No... No, label reads "Bottled June 2015" so it’s not that old. The flavor just displays to much caramel. Hops are here but really TRYS to fight through the malt but simply can’t. When I drink a 7.5 % IPA it better show me hops, this just shows me fruit without much bitterness. Mouthfeel is on the thin side. Meh.
