Very hazy deep peach coloured body with a stupid large, ten to fifteen centimetre tall off-white head that's very soapy and even starts coming out of the top of the bottle. Aroma of grass, peaches, pears, plums and a dash of berries, but a bunch of rather strong malts and some noticeable sugars throughout here with some light alcohol noticeable and a touch of tea notes. Medium-bodied; Rather strong malt notes with a lot of fruits, especially those peach and pear notes with the plum finishes and a good deal of residual sugars, especially at the end with a pungent dryness and bitterness from the fruits. Aftertaste shows a ton of fruits with a dry fruity bite, some rather pungent malts and a herbal and grassy finish, but the peaches and light spicey pear notes are strong here as well. Overall, a dry, super peachy, slightly spicey and herbal pungent beer with a lot of malt depth and a ton of fruits here, but the head that comes out of this is a bit too much, even after fifteen minutes or so! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Columbia Pike), Virginia on 18-September-2021 for US$1,87 sampled in my hotel room here in Hampton, Virginia on 26-November-2021.

Draft at Ballston Service Station, Arlington. Tropical fruit flavor, though I didn't really get a whole lot of coconut or anything like that. Pleasant stuff.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and pure orange coloured body with a thick, but relatively fast-dying tan head that ends at about three centimetres in height. Aroma of flowers, grass, light nuts, earth and some light piney and toffee notes with a dose of bread near the end and some yeast, and the alcohol is noticeable. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich floral and grassy hops show at first, but then a chewy malt is present with nuts, earth and some grain. Aftertaste shows a very light touch of pineapple, mangoes and perhaps papaya with a lot of residual sugars in the form of fructose and some syrupy resin. Overall, a deep and balanced Imperial IPA, in the style of the way they 'used' to make them, with a definite East Coast slant, but nice to sample around here, and not a while not really a bad option, just not amazing. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 12-September-2020 for US$2,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 18-September-2020.

22oz bottle. Poured a dark smooth motor-oil color with a small brown head. Velvety. Aroma was huge coffee notes, roasted chocolate. Super solid coffee character, perhaps overpowering, but the coffee is so good, it really makes its mark on this one. Super solid stuff.
