Thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing - slightly hazy gold/orange beer, with a frothy head - spicy, piny, west coast hop aroma, with some underlying citrus and strawberry - highly resinous hop flavor, which gets quite spicy on the back end - a mild, ambiguous malt backbone keeps this beer all about the hops - dry and biting, without becoming astrigent.

22oz bottle from SamuraiArtist. Pours a glowing orange color with medium clarity. Aroma is a very dry and bitter hoppiness. Very grapefruit skins like. Taste is similar but even stronger dry yellow grapefruit skins. Strong bitterness from the hops. Very low on maltiness and sweetness

Bottle: Dark amber pour with a nice sandy head. Nose is rich with citrus and pine. Caramel sweet too. Flavor is big ole bitters with lots of pine and citrus. A bit dry, and hop dominated. Very little malt presence. I like the hops and keep ’em comin for sure, but a little more malt balance would go a long way. Thanks to BuckDich for the shared bottle.

Bottle pours a hazy medium amber woth a persistant sandy colored head. Moderate malty sweet carmel aroma with some piney hop notes.. Flavor os very bitter. Overpowers the other flavors. Soapy bitter bite at the end. I’d trade some IBU for soke flavor BUs

Caramel color with a small, tan head. Aroma of sweet carmalized malts, chocolate, burnt, biscuit, and some wood. Body is a little watery. Slightly roasted malts, sweet caramel, chocolate, and a little oak. Finish is malty, bitter, and kinda short. A decent brown, but nothing too exciting here.

Big thanks to Degarth for opening this beasty brew. Will it obliterate me? Pours a deep gold to copper with lasting off white head and decent lacing. The aroma is medium in strength with grapefruit juice, grapefruit rind and orange rind. Yes, very citrusy. There’s also a mild malt sweetness too. No big surprise in the flavor since it tastes just as it smells. I get a bolt of grapefruit hop bitterness up front that becomes slightly more citrus orange mixed with orange rind. More rind really. In the middle there somewhere are mild malt sweetness and caramelized malty notes. It ends with an undercurrent malt sweetness but with a large slice of grapefruit, mild spicy hop bitterness and hints of floral hops. Very nice hop bomb.

Black with deep brown highlights and a large, thick, brown head. Enjoyable aroma of cofee, molasses, roasted malts, chocolate, and sweet malts. I wish it was a little more blended, but nice. Body is a little on the thin side. Flavor is roasted malts, coffee beans, chocolate, and a hint of metallic. An enjoyable porter, heavy on the coffee. Could go for a thicker body, and a little more complexity in the flavor. Overall a fine brew.
