Got in a trade with Cyde. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, no canning date. Pours very hazy and cloudy orange amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of huge grapefruit, tangerine, orange rind, lemon zest, orange zest, pineapple, floral, grass, honey, bread, light pine, and floral earthiness. Outstanding aromas with big citrus hop complexity with a moderate malt balance; and nice strength. Taste of big grapefruit, orange zest, tangerine, orange rind, lemon zest, pineapple, floral, pine, grass, honey, bread, and floral earthiness. Good amount of pine resin bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes citrus, citrus zest, citrus rind, floral, pine, grass, honey, bread, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity and balance of citrus/floral/pine hop flavors; with a fair amount of malt balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and moderately sticky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent IPA! Great hop flavor complexity and moderate malt balance; and very easy to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

On tap at Petrol Station. Pours a clear amber with medium beige head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is roasted malt raisin and caramel. Medium mouthfeel with sweet roasted malt, chocolate and sweet finish. Very impressive.

Chilled bottle from Josh poured into a sampler glass, blind side-by-side with heady topper and Solitary and Solitude 6. Deep golden/light amber with very little head, and low carbonation. Taste is nicer herbal hops and some grass. My least favorite of the three, but still pretty good.

Approximately 10 oz tulip draft pour at Craft and Growler in Dallas, Texas. The pour is a hazed orange ruby with a smallish off white head. The aroma is bright citrus peel, resin, dank, and a softly sweet floral. The taste is the citrus, spiced resin hops balanced with caramel toasted malt. No alcohol present to speak of. The palate is medium bodied, soft fine carbonation, and a mineral finish. Nice stuff, I like the balance and nuance of the Deep Ellum regular IPA better, but this is a really solid hoppy beer as well.

Half pint draft pour at the Ginger Man near downtown Dallas, Texas. The pour is brown black with ruby highlights and a smallish tan head. The aroma is lightly roasted, slight char malt, along with a dark chocolate, mildly cherry fruit sweetness. Pretty subdued nose. The taste is the roast char malt initially, turning quick to the sweetness of the cocoa, and the sweet tartness of the cherry. The char roast comes back into play in the lingering finish. The palate is medium bodied, soft carbonation, and the sweet roast finish. I have never been too wild about these sweet cherry stouts, but this one is at least well made.

12 oz bottle purchased at the Specs on the North side of Dallas, Texas. The pour is a slightly hazed golden orange with a smallish white head. Pretty beer. The aroma is soft floral spiced rye, paired with a crisp toasted grain malt. Delicate and nuanced nose. The taste is the rye up front, spiced and floral, then moves to the toasted grain of the malt. Clean and crisp, rye is more present in the flavor than the nose. The palate is light to medium bodied, a nice unfiltered mouth feel, active cleansing carbonation, and the rye spice finish. Nice one, really impressed with both Deep Ellum beers I have had.
