Got in a trade with larryi86. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 7/23/2019. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, green peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, green peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, green peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is a delicious IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish; not aggressive. Great Mosaic, Nugget, Amarillo, Ekuanot, Mandarina Bavaria, Citra, And Centennial profile. Very vibrant, juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a nice sized pale/wheat malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made East Coast style example. Not much of a true NEIPA as claimed, though.

Got in a trade with larryi86. 750 ml bottle into snifter, no bottle dating. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toffee, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of vanilla, licorice, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, wood, herbal, grass, peppercorn, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/black/bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of huge dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toffee, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of vanilla, licorice, raisin, prune, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, wood, herbal, grass, peppercorn, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, grassy, peppery, roast/charred bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, toffee, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark bread/crust, vanilla, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, wood, herbal, grass, peppercorn, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/black/bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a fantastic hop/char bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying/acrid/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and fairly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Slight lingering resins though the glass. Mild increasing warmth of 9.5% after the finish. Overall this is an incredible Russian imperial stout. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/black/bready malts and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV, with the mellowly bitter/charred/drying finish. Amazingly soft/silky feel for the ABV, not overly bitter/charred. Amazingly well rounded rich dark/black/roast/bready English malts; great earthy hop presence/balance, and restrained fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering hop/char bitter dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazingly spot on style example. Reminds me of North Coast Old Rasputin a lot, but way toned down on the bitter hops.

Can from my brother: pours gold with white head. Aroma is bready with a bare hint of smokiness. Taste is light sweetness, hint of smoke, mild hop bitterness. Smooth and sessionable.

12 oz can from Joe Canal's, 10/1/19. Yellowish color, with a frothy white head and lots of stuff floating in the glass. Kind of an uglier beer. Aroma / flavor are solid. Some sweet fruit juice. Herbal and a little grassy. Not bad. Clean citrus. Plenty solid.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Slightly hazed medium gold pour. Dense two-finger high beige head. Aromatic hop nose hints at pine and bright citrus. First sip is crisp grainy malt and spicy pine hops. Further indulging brings notes of stone fruit, lime, mint and sweet grapefruit. Easy drinking despite the 7% ABV. Spicy hop finish has notes of white pepper and pine.
