Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a nice white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of juicy citrusy hops notes with some floral hops undertones and some tropical notes. Taste is also a mix of juicy citrusy notes with some floral undertones and some tropical notes with a semi-dry finish. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA but the juicy factor could have been amped up.

Fairly clean, a slight haziness, golden colour with an amber hue. The head is frothy-creamy with good retention and full, sticky-creamy lacing. A nice caramel malt base with some fresh, herbal nose and a resinous touch. The taste mixes all of these, less punchy - so well balanced. Mildly creamy mouthfeel with a nice slow-building dryness. A very good West Coast IPA which has kick in the aromas, but smooth out in the taste - yet, still fitting for the style.

Pours a real dark brown colour with a tad ruby highlights, a big, creamy, mocha-coloured head with good retention and wet foamy lacing. Aromas of cacao-chocolate with the orange coming with time, and vanilla smoothing things. The alcohol is felt in the taste, with chocolate lingering and orange liqueur bittering, warming things a bit. Not overly thick, kind of smooth mouthfeel with an oily touch. Some decent dryness in the finish to help out. A nice Imperial Stout with a notes of Terry's Chocolate Orange candy ball.
