12 oz goblet draft at APEX in Portland, Oregon. The pour is a pretty hazed orange golden with a 1 inch thick head that falls with coating lace. The aroma is cereal grain malt with grass floral hop. The taste is resin, floral, tropical fruit hop balanced nicely with the cracker cereal grain malt. The palate is medium bodied with natural carbonation. Finish is dry with a bit of mineral and a touch of bitterness. Solid.

Growler fill from Brewer’s Haven. Pours a bright golden orange color and topped with a pillowy white head. Lots of lacing. Nose is ripe with citrus and tropical fruit, light pine. Flavor is sweet up front and moderate with bitters. Good balance of hop flavor to malts. Overall a solid APA.

Dark brown coloured body with a dense, four centimetre tall light brown head. Aroma of deep resinous and grapefruity hops with a nice roasted malt scent and some sugars coupled along with the toffee and a hint of coffee. Medium-bodied; Very nice hoppy flavour at first with grapefruit, pine, flowers and resin all noticeable, but showing a very nice roasted malt and earth flavour right behind, with an impeccable balance. Aftertaste shows a nice hoppy flavour with a strong roasted malt and coffee flavour at the end, all with a good deal of caramelised sugars and a very nice balance of hops and malt. Overall, a great Black IPA with a nice level of complexity, and a nice flavour throughout with a perfect balance and the alcohol isn’t very noticeable, despite it being a bit high. I was expecting a lot from this beer, and it more than delivered - this one is great and well worth searching out for to get it! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Belmont Station (Where Else?!?) in Portland, Oregon on 03-May-2015 for US$6,23 sampled at home in Washington on 16-October-2015 for my Daughter’s 3rd Birthday! Love you Claire.

Draft pour pint at Brouwers Cafe. Pours a clear bright golden color with a thin patchy head. Big fresh hop aroma as expected. Thick cream body with a sweet malt background, covered up by a big fresh hops presence. Overall a pleasant IPA here. In barley browns hit or miss IPA section for me, I’d call this a hit.
