Tap - this is a nice take on the style, with a hop presence that pushes into IPA territory - a nice cloudy body, with a lasting lace - very floral and fruity in the nose and the flavor, with a thick resinous hop character that somehow doesn’t get in the way of the relatively refreshing and light character of the beer - very earthy and grassy, with herbal notes and citrus character - pretty much what you want an APA to be, with just enough unique floral character to set it apart from its peers.

Pour is a dark brown with a tan head. The aroma was of super sweet caramel malts with some brown sugar and a stong alcohol. Flavor had some dark fruit and sugar with a bit of toffee and hops. None of the alcohol in the aroma shows up in the flavor but you know its there. A decent dopple.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. This one really is not very good. Grain aroma and grain flavor. Dark red color and a tall head. There is something off here. It doesn’t taste m’uch like a doppelbock at all, and certainly not a traditional German bock.

From Skyview. Dark brown color. Mild aroma, some hops, and some grain. More grain in the flavor, it tastes OK. Thin palate, that makes it more like a Scottish ale than a Scotch ale, which I think tend to be thicker.

A good beer. Lightly sweet. Bright orange with a medium palate. The sweetness is good but this lacks complexity. Some hops in there. A little yeast in the flavor.

12 oz bottle from csbosox. Pour is orange amber clear with a fluffy white head. Aroma of hops - orange/lemon citrus. A bit of malty sweetness (biscuit) in there as well. Taste is pretty much as advertised by the nose, orange, lime and lemon hoppiness, some nice bitterness. Also, a great backbone of slightly sweet biscuit malt. Palate was a touch on the watery side, but didn’t keep this from being very enjoyable. Thanks Chris.

From Skyview. One of the better sweet stouts to be found. Aroma has toasted grain, including oatmeal, some burned popcorn. Flavor is on the sweet side, a little sugar, and a hint of coffee. The palate is best quality, the beer is fairly thick and very smooth.

Bottle. Hazy sediment-laden light yellow-orange body, thin off-white head. Biscuity aroma with lemony notes, yeasty. Wet socks underneath the more pleasant components. Light bready, lemony body, dominated by yeast, the light sweet malt and grassy hops subtle.

Bottle. Hazy, sediment-laden amber body, thin off-white head. The aroma greets the nose with bright, grapefruity and grassy hops. Hoppy body, including notes of pine, citrus, and flower petals, backed by firm caramely, toasty malt. The caramelized sugars pair nicely with the fresh-tasting hops. A winner.

On tap at the brewpub. Slightly hazy straw-copper body, medium buff head. Rindy, citric hops nose with abundant grapefruit notes. The body is a veritable hops tea with some citrus characteristics but predominantly medicinal and soapy. Resinous, medium body. I didn’t find this too exciting.
