From a can, looks like IPA, smells like pine IPA and tastes like mild IPA. Chunks floating around in my glass. On the finish, not as strong as a real IPA. Nice looking foamy thick head.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is citrus rine with some dank hop resin. Flavor is sweet at first then come a bit of pine/citrus hop. Finish has some hop bitterness. I would not call this an imperial IPA as the hoppyness is there but not over the top. Still as an IPA this is soild.

12oz bottle courtesy of Brian. Murky orange-red, big frothy off-white head. Pronounced cinnamon, pumpkin spice aroma. Medium bodied, holds up pretty well despite being a few months past its prime. Clovy and spicy. Pretty decent offering.

12oz can courtesy of Brian. Dull orange-brown with a lacy off-white head. Peach apricot aroma, some previous rater nailed it in that regard. Mellow and earthy, with some lasting sugary sweetness and strawy hops. Drinkable, quite mild for the style. Not quite a double IPA for sure. Still a pretty enjoyable offering, maybe a little overpriced.

Draft. Hazy golden color, thick white head, solid lacing. Aroma of floral pine. Taste is not over the top, but smooth and balanced pine. Nice.

Refrigerated can from JoePessie. Pours deep copper with nice off-white head. Some lacing, medium body, resinous texture, medium carbonation and pine aroma. Taste is citrus, lots of pine, and bitter hop finish. Not balanced, too much pine, won’t be seeking out.

Enjoyed on tap at Goose Island Stout Fest 2012 in Chicago, IL. I didn’t catch the description, but would assume this was aged in coffee beans or something like that. Appearance is pitch black with a rich off white head. Aroma mostly coffee, bit of chocolate, but mostly coffee. Taste dominated by coffee, bit of smoke, chocolate notes, not too much lactose, but maybe not as ’coffee like’ as other brews I had that day. Pretty decent stuff.

12 oz. can from build-a-six at Binny’s. Hey, nice smell right out of the can, hearty roast grains without the usual burn or astringency. Rich chocolate notes. Pours a solid black body, head is foamy since it’s still canned with CO2, but hey. Taste does offer creamy texture of an oatmeal stout. More dry than sweet. Some coffee bitterness once I get more tasted. Very slight citrus edge, perhaps some PNW hops in there. I note that the can currently reads 6% abv.

Purchased at Armanetti’s in Chicago, IL; enjoyed on the Friday of Halloween weekend, just waiting to see some bad costumes over the weekend. Appearance is a cloudy vibrant golden amber with a rich white head that laces to the glass. Aroma of pure hops, somewhere between citrus and floral, a bit of bready malt in the back end. Taste is overtly bitter, like rip the enamel from your tooth bitter, and the citrus notes give it kind of a sweet / sour like quality, but not in a bad way. Heavy body, medium carbonation, definitely on the sweeter side for the style, not bad though.
