BeerTemple. Unclear golden with white head. Sweet malts, plasticcy, grapefruit peels. Moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation.

Taster at the Woodhaven World of Beer. Pours a bright, pink color, with a small, gray, head. The aroma is light berries, lime zest, resin, wet grass, and hay. Sweet, with a sharp, mellow, bitter finish. Light to medium body, with a crisp, acidic mouthfeel. This is a fruity and fun IPA.

Rich caramel and lightly bronze coloured body with quite a thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white head. Deep aromas of pungent grassy and herbal hops with a touch of citrus and light fruits noticeable. Medium to Full-bodied; Deep pungent malts with a good deal of alcohol noticeable at first that hits hard but also shows some nice citrus and quite pungent piney and resinous hops soon afterwards. Aftertaste is nice with some sweetness, a little alcohol, a great balance of malt and hops but the overwhelming finish are the higher alpha acid, citrusey, resinous and grassy hops. Overall, a very nice Imperial IPA with a good citrus and fruity finish showing some light sugars, but a proper balance and good complexity for the style make this a good beer, but nothing amazing or worth spending an arm and leg for, which is what I almost did for this one! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Merchant's in Dearborn, Michigan on 01-July-2015 for US$10,29 (quite expensive for the size and the state) sampled at home in Manassas, Virginia on Thanksgiving in 2015 on 26-November-2015.

Can. Chocolate malt, ash, and dry hay aroma. Black with large tan head. Moderately sweet chocolate malt, and moderately bitter/astringent fresh hay flavor. Okay body.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/21/2018. Pours slightly hazy deep reddish orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky cream colored head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balanced of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great balance/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Mildly warming alcohol for 11%. Overall this is a very nice triple IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balanced of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV; with the mellowly bitter/drying finish,. never aggressive. Very juicy and lightly dank/earthy hop complexity; nice sized malty backbone, not too overly sweet for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
