Crisp clear golden and light amber coloured body with a thinnish, soapy two centimetre tall head. Aroma of alcohol, resin, grapefruit, grass and some floral hop notes, all with a bit of sugar and some moderate yeast. Medium to Full-bodied; Deep grassy, herbal and resinous hop characteristics with a nice malt backbone, some subtle peach and pomelo sweetness, but quite a lot of bitterness noticeable from the hops. Aftertaste shows some good alcohol notes, a pleasant level of complexity and solid bitterness on the end without being too cloying. Overall, a surprisingly nice Imperial IPA that I wasn’t expecting much from the ratings here. My bottle shows a good deep bitterness without being pungent or showing too much alcohol. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 02-August-2013 for US$2.99 sampled at home in Washington on 22-February-2014.

Bottle. Lightbodied, dry. Grassy, metallic hops, pine, grapefruit. A bit one-dimensional. Less bitternes and more aroma would be better for me.

Tap at tap house Munich. Light roast and fruity nose. Black, big brown, slightly reddish head. Light chocolate roast under cherries. Falls flat after that, no chewy follow through , no dry spiciness. Ok chocolate cherries in the aftertaste.

Not terrible, but very little flavor here. Sort of the equivalent of the pale lager in ale form. Hints of orange zest and lemon, can be a good lawnmower beer I suppose.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a frothy tan head, about two centimetres thick with a nice bit of bubbles rising from the bottom and sides. Aroma of hop pellets, light cardboardie malt, some yeast and a bit of a sterile ale - not much going on except from rather floral hop notes. Light-bodied; Mild hop flavour of floral and perfumey varieties with a hint of malt and a subtle grassy finish - not much after the initial taste. Aftertaste shows almost nothing, just water. Some mild hop bitterness remains, but this is a light beer with not much depth at all. Overall, a rather uninspired beer showing a tiny bit of hops and not much else, including no malt and no complexity. Not worth trying, even for those folks who love IPAs. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 02-August-2013 for US$1.89 sampled at home in Washington on 26-January-2014.

Pretty rare beer from a bottle. Not your typical fruit beer. From the start much darker than expected, looks like a porter or stout. Initial clean blueberry aroma, makes my mouth water. Wew, big strong somewhat burnt blueberry flavored cough medicine effect. Yes, much bigger beer than I was expecting. Some mild sizzlty co2 but it doesn’t keep this stuff from coating yer mouth. Malty bitter burnt roasted linger on the top back of my tongue for a finish. Getting dizzy near the end of the bottle, this kick in the jaw was quite a surprize. I’ll clasify this as a baltic fruit porter.

Dark Amber Brownish Color, Medium Head, Decent Thin Lacing. Earthy, Malt, Faint Hops and Citrus Aroma. Earthy, Bready Malt, Slight Pine, Hop Bitter Finish. On Lighter Side in terms of body and taste. It Does Taste more like American Pale Ale than an IPA. None the Less, Rather Decent. Worth A Shot...

The (not so) shit beer tasting at Leightons stratospheric flat. Lightly hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and dry with mild carbonation. Papery dry malt, insipid. Light dry finish. Hard to believe a US beer from a craft brewer can be papery.watery rubbish, but here it is.
