12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. Pours a slightly hazy pale amber color with a very thin off-white head. Poor head retention. Aroma of citrus, tropical, earthy hops and faint pale malts. The taste is grainy malts, caramel, citrus and tropical hops. Thin-medium bodied.

"Thick" looking black body seems to be pretty close to opaque (not tested) with a rapidly receding charred-beige head that sits around a cover.
Coffee, shockingly, in the nose is quite aromatic, with some sweeter chocolate notes and light vanilla. Not too much roast though a bit of vinousness does emerge as it warms. No hops noted in the nose. A touch of glue-like notes that I usually associate with coffee beers. Medium strength of aroma.
Coffee is immediately mixed with roast bitterness and sweet vanilla-like maltiness. Carbonation is on the lighter side, which is never good for these coffee beers, IMHO, even though I usually like porters to be low in carbonation. I just think the coffee builds up too much and unless they are nearly bone-dry examples (this isn’t), it just gets too be too much without lots of carbonation to break things up. Alternately, lots of roasted malt vinousness could do the trick, but that is also absent here. Still, as negative as all that was, the coffee here is done well, not overdone and real. The beer is a little too sweet only after significant warming. A bit watery and syrupy at the same time, on the finish.

Clear gold body topped by a small, moderately well-retained head.
I gotta say, these session IPAs are getting VERY hard to differentiate, the more I have. They almost always look the same, and they smell very similar with the better ones being "dry, hoppy, with an assertive bitterness, but not terribly acidic, low maltiness". Haha, I guess that’s the aim, anyways. This one was dry, more hop flavored than bitter (which I appreciate) though there was a touch too much malt sweetness and breadiness on the finish as it warmed. Session IPA, the most forgettable style? Quite possibly.

Very pale, nearly lime-juice colored beer with some golden tints and a small but well-retained white head. Hazy, but not cloudy.
Very little aroma, per style, some vanilla, creamed wheat, light peppery hops and just a touch of tartness from the fermented honey. No flaws though...
In the mouth you are immediately greeted by a very lightly tart wheat character and a healthy dose of fairly tight carbonation that quickly gives way to very authentic honey sweetness. It’s ALMOST too sweet, but not quite. The blandness from the wheat gives it something to sink in to and the light tartness, touch of peppery/spicy hoppiness and moderate carbonation help keep it balanced. Pretty nice flavor balance they are able to achieve without it being fully fermented out. Do they add honey to secondary? Don’t know. The chamomile, furthermore, is a bit of an afterthought and very elegantly not overdone. Maybe a touch too soft/syrupy of a texture, but otherwise really nice take on the "style".

Bottle. Pours opaque black with a medium dark brown head that dissipates fairly quickly leaving good lacing. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malts, a bit of cardboard, anise. Flavor is an improvement, light sweet, medium bitter, roasty, chocolate and rich on the tongue. Lingering bitterness on the finish. Fairly full bodied and creamy. Quite nice in the end.

Bottle, Wine Warehouse, CHO. Pours hazy peach colored with a large orange foamy head. Smells of PINE! Fruit: apricot, grapefruit. Tastes of heavy pine, grapefruit rind, orange peel, and finishes with a touch of apricot. Yum.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has a hazy orange colored body with a one finger white head that died within thirty seconds. There was barely any lacing left and very little carbonation was seen rising.
The smell has some light pine and hops but there really wasn’t much there.
The taste has a sweet yet spicy blend that tingled in my mouth, not bad. The pine and hops came out with some lighter fruits in the taste.
On the palate, she sits about medium with a good smoothness. It had a moderate carbonation in the mouth.
Overall, this was a decent brew. I might have it again.

Pours gold into a sam glass. Bright white head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Tropical fruit and resin aromas. Crisp with sweet mango and passionfruit upfront turning bready before the lasting resin finish.
