Draft at the VT location. Dark brown pour and some head. Nose is nutty, and chocolate and earthy. Tastes the same. Some boozy warming.

Nice and easygoing IPA. Has some pleasant piney hops, supportive malt backbone, citrus rind, tangerine, melon, nips of mango. Sun-kissed malts. Yeah, this is well balanced throwback gear. Great stuff.

Great stuff overall. Ample bitterness. Piney hops. Sun-kissed pale malts. Some candied orange peel. General rindy notes. A little resinous chomp. Really enjoyable.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Tangerine and passion fruit aromas. Medium bodied with sweet tangerine and lime upfront turning to caramel before the lasting pith finish.

Bottle. Clear very deep amber to mahogany. Caramel, burnt malts, earthy, plums, cherries, soft pecans, bitter weedy hops. Quite sweet but also solid bitter. Crisp full body with quite some carbonation. Really not bad.

Pour is a cloudy blonde with a ginormus white head. Aroma is yep blackberries. Flavor is blackberries with a huge tartness I was not expecting. Finish is clean and leaves some of the blackberry on the tongue. Thin all around but the blackberries were there and did not seem artificial.
