Can shared. Thanks Chris! Pours a clearish gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Maple syrup and cinnamon forward nose. Lots of toasted maple, cinnamon and nutmeg on the palate. Not as sweet as I’d thought. Dry finish with kitkat wafer like malt. Pretty enjoyable and spices are well-balanced without being overly sweet. Not sure I could drink a pint though.

Aromaz are the odd combination of sweet skunk in fresh hops that is not at all pleasing. Flavors aren't quite so bad although dominated by kind of a creamsicle character. I'm a little old-fashioned I like an IPA to taste more or less like an IPA not an ice cream sundae type thing.

Pounder: Mango, fingernail polish, lillies on the nose. Cloudy amber, viscous, headless. Boozy mango, tangerine. Full body, easy carbonation, warm. This is a beast, but good.

It is truly unique and I don't like it. I guess it's interesting in that they decide to take a beer that is traditionally perhaps Bittersweet and once in awhile slightly more sweet than bitter but this just goes too far. Much more sweet than bitter. It gives me heartburn.

16 ounce can. Hazy mustard gold color. Small frothy beige head. Fragrant berry aroma. Bittersweet toasted malt flavor. Lots of berries and cream upfront. Some tangy fruit as well. Interesting combination of bitter hops and sweet berries and marshmallow. Creamy mouthfeel. Noticeable alcohol in finish. Different.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 2/20/2018. Pours moderate hazy/cloudy golden amber/light orange color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, coconut, vanilla, marshmallow, cream, citrus zest, honey, brown sugar, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, sugars, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, coconut, vanilla, marshmallow, cream, citrus zest, honey, brown sugar, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, coconut, vanilla, marshmallow, cream, citrus zest, honey, brown sugar, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, sugars, and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and slightly sticky/resinous mouthfeel that is fantastic. Mildly increasing warmth of 8.6% after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic dessert DIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, sugars, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the ABV with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Drinks like a NEIPA as I expected from some of their other DIPAs; amazingly soft mouthfeel. Insanely juicy hop complexity; balanced vanilla, sugars, bready malts; not overly sweet/heavy considering what is going on here. A highly enjoyable offering.
