Towering, light beige stable head over fully hazy foxy-amber beer; fine lace. Already upon opening, powerful fruity hops wafting up, citrussy & exotic fruitlike (passion fruit, lytchee, rosewater and of course grapefruit). Pure lupulin smell. Bitter, but nowhere exaggerated. Citrussy flavour with cakey maltbacking or kletskoppen . Very classical, but all the same quite satisfying. Rather light bodied, slick. Lupulin induced sticky bitterness remains throughout, but yet the beer comes over as primarily fruity-sweet. Very nice, extremely aromatic IPA, if a tad sweet. Many thanks to the Dewberries!

bottle thanks to BgThang, pours hazy copper with a medium white head with lots of spotty lacing. Aroma is huge pine and citrus hops, very green and fresh smelling. Flavor is nice biscuit and toasted malts with a very clean and dry finish of pine and citrus rinds with little hints of peppery rye malts. The mouth of this beer is out of this world. Creamy as hell but just enough carbonation to keep the body lighter and dry out the finish. I’m a fan.

Bottle thanks to legion242. Shared with jcwattsrugger. Pours olive brown. Off white head. Nose of hops, rye bread, caramel malts and peppercorn. Taste is rye, caramel malt and pine. Taste falls a little short from the terrific nose. Still a solid all around brew.

Capped 750 from ericandersnavy. Pours very black with a 3 finger creamy dark tan head. Getting a lot of chocolate in the aroma. Think that stiff head may be an obstacle to fine detail. Near full body. Lots of smooth dark malt and chocolate. Heat ramps up a bit. Moves on into something more mocha than anything else. Starbucks should get a recipe that will match this. It’s simply delicious. Finishing on the dry bitter side.

Capped 750 from ericandersnavy. Pours hazy dark ruddy copper. 3 finger creamy/bubbly off-white head. Massive citrus hop aroma along with a rough rye malt. Near full bodied with lots fluffy carbonation. There’s a lot of grapefruit rind over a sweet rye malt. Pretty well balanced, finishing a tad towards the bitter side. It’s incredibly fresh and refreshing.
