Bottle thanks to Americanbrew. Pours with a very generous off-white head over a clear copper body. Very good head retention, and foamy lacing. Aroma of mango, exotic fruits, pine, marshmallow and caramel. Taste is caramel, honey, herbal and pine like hops. A bit of bitterness and also some tea like aspects. Nice drinking IPA, but not too special. Medium residual sugars for an IPA, maybe a bit of table sugar quality to it. Medium bodied. Pleasantly light carbonation. Good.

Bottle thanks to Scrizz. Pours with an off-white head over a hazed amber body. Aroma of hops, pine, peach and apricot with very light alcohol. Taste is grass, pine and fruity hops. Not super bitter, but very nice and balanced. Some jam and caramel. Light bubbles, but on the thin side. Solid IPA.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this growler that he got in a recent trade. Deep amber/light brown pour with huge, long-lasting off-white head. Grassy aroma. Malty sweetness, low hop flavor and bitterness. This says American Strong Ale to me. It lacks the hop presence of an Imperial IPA, yet doesn’t take it all the way into Barleywine country either.
