750 ml bottle poured into a tulip. Picked up a bottle at TWCP during RBSG. 5% ABV according to the label. Hazy apricot yellow/orange with around 3 fingers of off-white head. Poured with a bit of a pinkish tint. Aromas of herbs, spices, hibiscus, stone fruit. Tastes of hibiscus, slightly tart fruit, light herbs and spices, subtle salt. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Medium-low carbonation. Better than I expected.

750. Pours a hazy orangish amber with a fairly dense head. Aromas have a bit of an off edge to them, but finish in soapy citrus. Not sure what the off smell is... kind of hard to describe. Flavor is pretty middle of the road. Honey and orange blossom with a zingy carbonation. It’s a decent APA, but not a great one. I hoped for so much more.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a slightly orange edge to it and a thin frothy head. Aromas are thick with fruit. Papaya and oranges with a little resin and some caramel/toffee. Flavor is malty with a big burst of hops at the tail end... lots of resin and a hint of the fruits in the nose, but the resin takes over. Mouthfeel is chewy and a grain dust flavor distracts just a bit. Booze is present and prominent. Decent IIPA.

Bottle thanks to Chris. Pours a cloudy yellow with no head. The aroma is lacto, brett, oak, funk, lemon. Thin mouthfeel with nice tart lemon, strong brett, funk, oak, and light sourness. Very good.

750mL bottle, pours an opaque dark orangey amber with a medium white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, light tropical fruits, and a little caramel. Flavour brings out shitloads of tropical fruits upfront, followed by citrus zest and a little alcohol burn. Well-balanced, with a big malty profile in addition to the tropical fruity hops. Good stuff.
