bottle - Pours hazy orange with a one finger light tan head. The aroma is very citrus rich with orange and grapefruit prominent. The flavor has high bitterness with assertive grapefruit character, a medium body, and a long bitter finish. Excellent IPA.

Clear deep copper coloured body with a nice three centimetre tall off-white head and a nice rich bronze glow. Aroma of fresh grassy and resiny hops, a lot of apricots, some sugars and a little bit of malty earthiness. Medium-bodied; Assertive piney and floral hoppiness up front with a good bitter malt earthiness and some light caramel noticeable. Aftertaste shows a good blend of hops and malt, some lighter caramelised sugar flavours and a pleasant fruit flavour to finish off the beer. Overall, a decent beer - not amazing, but wroth trying if you can find it - the balance between the hops and malt were great. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased earlier today at K&E Beverage Center in New Paltz, New York sampled later in the evening at home in New Paltz on 21-July-2012.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Sweet yeast and stale malt aromas. Sharp with sweet caramel and yeast upfront turning to sour resin in the lasting finish.

Bottle at Paul’s. Pours black with brown head. Nose/taste of sour malt, cocoa, rye, whiskey barrel, dark fruits, oak and vanilla. Lots of sour dark fruits but not overwhelming. Medium body. Solid but a little unbalanced at times.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours lightly hazy golden orange color with a very nice 2 finger dense off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Some nice soapy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, orange rind, pine, mango, herbal, floral, grass, earth, caramel, and spiciness. Pretty nice aromas with good balance and strength. Quite dank and resinous feeling. Taste of grapefruit, pine, herbal, grass, orange rind, floral, lemon zest, earth, mango, caramel, wheat, and piny spiciness. Good amount of spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pine, caramel, mango, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a while. Malt balance is a little weak, as this leans much more towards a pretty astringent lasting bitterness. Some pretty good flavor balance; but a little high on the spicy pine resin in my opinion. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and sticky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a good IPA. A little too piny and spicy; but has some good hop flavor complexity and balance. Smooth and enjoyable to sip on with some intense hop flavor.

Bottle - Malt, grains and a mild aromatic hop. Clear amber with nice medium head. Very dry and bitter but not much flavor. I do get some sweetness but again nite much flavor. Not what i would consider a session ale.

Bomber from TheEpeeist. Nose is light chili, dark chocolate, and a little vanilla. Clear dark cherry brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is a lot of chocolaty cocoa, moderate vanilla, and a hint of peppery heat but not much, the chocolate dominates. Good beer but would probably be better with a little more of the peppers.

Bottle. Pours with a clear golden to light amber hued body with a small white head that lasts with some lace. Aromas are bready, malty, biscuity and lightly grassy. A touch of grapefruit and citrus. Flavors are medium citrusy, orange, tangerine and grassy hops. Some bready and toasty malt with low caramel. Lively bubbles, somewhat dry finish. Not bad.

Tap @ Rattle N Hum, NYC. Nice head with good duration. Color is dark amber. Aroma and taste are rich hops, toffee, caramel, fruits and malt. Oily palate.
