The beer is quite cloudy. Light amber to yellow orange in color. Fairly thick off white head, foams up pretty good at first. Lots of lacing. The aroma is lighter than expected. Fairly piney with a grapefruit, tangerine twist to it. Orange, light lime, light pineapple. Very light malt presence. The taste is only mildly bitter. Big citrus hop flavor. Not super juicy, though. Much less malt presence than expected in a 10% abv beer. Just a light honey-ish sweetness in the background. Drinks very easily. Light feel.

Can. It pours very dark brown, almost black with a brown head. The aroma is very dark and roasted with some smoke. Good dark roast coffee. The flavor is also very roasted and coffee forward. Tons of smoke as well. Full bodied with a rather burnt finish. Big time bitter, roasted coffee notes. Good one.

Growler shared at the tasting Friday on 6/10/16.
Indeed a rose-looking beer, with a moderate haziness, topped by a pink-flecked white head that shows moderate retention.
Cranberry skin-like notes in the nose combine with biscuit, vanilla and mild salinity. A moderate amount of lactic acid but this isn’t an intensely lactic example. Berries continue to enliven things and emerge more with warming. Very authentic, well-developed fruit notes.
Moderate acidity in the flavor, though it’s much softer than many with deep, well-attenuated malts adding a comfort to the palate that is offset by the tart berry flavors. Mild lactic character; nothing punchy or eye-opening. Healthy salinity as well, but it’s not overdone. Really enjoying these more relaxed examples. Fruit character done very well here with no alcohol or flaws. Mostly engaging, moderate carbonation.

Poured from a 16 oz can. Aroma is ester forward with some phenolics as well. Lost of over ripe stone fruit and pear with a light banana note. Light spicy, phenolic note. Light hop notes adding tropical fruit and citrus. Pours a hazy, bright yellow gold with a medium large, thick, white head that slowly recedes. Medium light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a light grain and cracker note. Lots of esters and phenolics again. Over ripe stone fruit, pear and a bit of banana. Some medium light pepper and coriander phenolic notes. Medium bitterness and a light alcohol note in the finish. Some light hop notes with tropical fruit and citrus. Hints of resin and pine. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low, but noticeable alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent Belgian IPA, but it?s dominates by esters and phenolics. The hops and malt are very much overpowered.

Poured from a can. Aroma has a moderate hibiscus note with some light coriander. Some light acidity with a bit of a yogurt and citrus note. Light wheat character. Pours a bright, neon, golden red color with a small, thin white head that immediately disappears. No lacing or legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with a light sweetness. Light yogurt with a bit of citrus. Medium light hibiscus note. Low bitterness. Light coriander with a moderate saltiness. Some lingering salt, hibiscus, acid and wheat. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium to medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright gose but it feels a bit under carbonated. I think the salt and coriander is also a bit too strong. Yogurt and wheat notes are nice though.

Poured from a 500ml bottle. Aroma is cheap cinammon, vanilla extract and some light maple notes. Moderate chocolate and roast. Some anise and weird phenolics. Some light lactose note. Pours jet black with a medium sized, thick, light mocha head that recedes to a thin film that lingers. Light lacing and moderate legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderately strong cinnamon notes. Quite a big of roast with some lighter dark chocolate notes. Fairly bitter and slightly astringent. Light vanilla and pretty much zero maple. A light phenolic, spicy, anise note. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Medium low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, I’m not impressed by this beer. So much cheap cinnamon and roasted malt character. Dry, thin and slightly astringent. It’s a miracle I am finishing this glass.
