Thanks to the Boise crew. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A nice citrus and caramel nose. The flavor is very smooth: caramel, oranges, light lemons, earthy. Very drinkable.

Strong hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thin, fast-dying white head. Aroma of tons of bright hops, citrus, grapefruit, pine, resin and bunches more hops - plus some malt and alcohol along with a bunch of sweetness. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong hop notes with grapefruit, honey and pine with a lot of alcohol and malt as well - nice and fruity. Aftertaste shows a lot of bitterness, naturally, with a lot of alcohol, pine, grapefruit and some good apricot and pear flavours. Overall, a very nice imperial ipa with tons of hop notes and even more malt and alcohol - all with great complexity. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased a few minutes ago at Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon for US$5.50 sampled in my hotel room here in Portland on 12-April-2013.

Draught. Black with thick beige head, due to its being a Nitro pour. Faint but pleasant malt aroma. Flavour is better, chocolate and malt barley. Roast character. Light finish. A springtime stout

On tap at Bailey's Taproom, pours a hazy dark copper / amber with a small beige head. Aroma is very light, barely anything there, with just some mild spices - not much else. Flavour is sort of cidery, with apple spices, some winter / Xmas spices, but not much else. Extremely light-bodied, with a very light apple / spicy tone. Not bad, quite uninteresting.

On tap at Bailey's Taproom, pours a hazy golden with a small beige head. Aroma of piney and citrusy hops, and just enough crackery malts. Flavour is robustly hoppy, with loads of piney and resinous hops, and a moderate biscuit malt backbone that doesn't lend any flavour. Unadventurous, but remarkably well-made IPA. Great stuff.

Silly name, but good beer. It’s not Pilsner Urquell unfiltered, but what is? Golden straw pour with white head. Good lawny aroma. Lekker flavour, thirst quenching and refreshing.

Draught. Pours pale yellow, medium head much lacing. Not much aroma, just a little grass. Well balanced flavour malt and hops, with the right amount of sweetness and bitterness. Lekker finish. Good on a hot day.

On tap at Saraveza's IIPA Fest, pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is quite piney hop-heavy, with very slightly tropical fruitiness, candied sugar and caramel malt sweetness - quite balanced. Flavour is absurdly hoppy, with truckloads of resinous hops, some tropical fruit sweetness, lots of sweetness actually despite the high hoppiness. Not harshly bitter yet insanely hoppy. Most excellent palate scorcher.

Draught @ Hawthorne Hophouse. Rated on 11.07.2012
Aroma has roasted malt, coffee and vanilla that overrides the two previous. Flavour is dry with vanilla, some coffee and hints of chocolate. A bit weird but nice.
