On tap at April Brews Day, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of piney hops backed with biscuity malt. Flavour is huge on the piney hops upfront, with just enough biscuity malt to back. Very piney. Nice stuff.

Bit muddy. Aroma is fairly bright, with papaya notes but also kind of yeasty. Lighter body and bitterness but has some bright character again. At least that finishing hop is nice but indistinct malts and too much yeastiness undermine it.

Bronze, has a hint of pear, grapes, with earthy, woodier taste, quite rich and chewy.

Cloudy amber color. Less caramel and more resiny hops than the other IIPA from the same brewery, not sweet, a bit pungent, some citrus peel. Good beer.

22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy, murky orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of butterscotch, floral hops, and some resinous hop oils. Flavour is rather muddled, with earthy hops and some floral notes. Not a good construction. Everything is really muddled and lacking cohesion. Not too good.

Tasting at Matt’s; 8.2% ABV
Amber color, hazy; the head is not persistent. The aroma has some caramel and hops, but it’s mild. It has a strong caramel flavor, with moderate residual sweetness; strong bitterness, a lot of hop resins, a bit orangey, not really fruity; and the alcohol is too evident.
Decent beer, not the best IIPA.

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hop upfront and tons of sweet caramel malts. Flavour is on the sweet side, with lots of caramel malt upfront, backed with resinous and floral hops. Maltier IIPA. It's okay, nothing overly complex or well-made. Decent.
