12 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but a recent release. Pours hazy orange amber color with a small dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of peach, pear, orange peel, apple, floral, honey, caramel, bread, herbal, and floral earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of hop and malt notes. Taste of peach, pear, orange, apple, honey, toast, bread, floral, caramel, herbal, light pine, and floral earthiness. Slight floral bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of light fruit, orange, toast, bread, floral, herbal, honey, caramel, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance and good complexity of hop and malt flavors; with a pretty big malt backbone for a pale ale; and no cloying sweetness present after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a creamy and smooth mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a good pale ale. Good balance and complexity of flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bottle pour to snifter. Big, creamy, persistent head. Brown-gold, darker than typical IPA/DIPA. Aroma: fresh, sweet, piney. Super hoppy at 115 IBU with a heavy malt presence makes it full bodied and covers the high ABV. Definitely one to buy again!

Bottle shared by Sean, thanks! Pours near black with a dark brown head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a strong note of buttered popcorn and a bit of butterscotch. Flavor has strong roasted malts and butter with some butterscotch and caramel.

Bottle. Murky red-brown body, thick, puffy, dense cream head. Sweet nose with potent sugared citrus rind, honey, and bread dough providing an interplay of sweet and bitter elements. Sweet, chewy, bitter body with complex elements of citrus rind, flower petals, sugars, and bubblegum backed by sharp, warming alcohol. Soft, pillowy body. Long herbal, bitter, somewhat vegetal finish that leaves a lingering somewhat unpleasant impression. A lot going on here, and the finish is really the only weak element.
