A deep dark ipa with a thick creamy frothy mocha head. In aroma, nice chocolate malt with dark fruits, resinous hops, herbal character, pleasant. In mouth, bitter chocolate with herbal hops, light coffee, a tad astringent. Bottle from 2013.

12 oz. can trade with tfontana. 02/21/20. Aroma is fresh with grapefruit, pineapple, and soft herbs. Flavor Has soft tropical fruit in bolder grapefruit. Dare I say papaya! Fruit does come off as fruity. No bitterness yet still balanced. Not overly sweet. This hop is quite lovely!

Can (2/21/20) pour from Harvest Market, Bedford. Appearance is opaque orange-dark yellow with a few dark floaties about, decent sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width white foamy head with good retention and decent soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus, grapefruit, pineapple rind, hint of herb. Taste is predominant pineapple and herb with lesser grapefruit and citrus. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation and mostly sweet pineapple finish with moderate lingering dry bitterness. Overall, an IPA leaning heavily toward the NEIPA style or a decent NEIPA.

Pours clear deep mahogany into a stem glass. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet dark molasses and toasted malt aromas. Soft and slick with hot toffee and caramel upfront turning to sweet dark molasses in the warm, medium length finish.

Can from Beer52. Hazy pale gold with a white head and a rather too prickly fizz. Lemon, pine, yeasty bread, gingery spice and a little lime cordial and cream. Sweet up front with a dryish and mildly bitter finish. Apart from the aggressive carbonation, this is rather good.
