Enjoyed at gabf 2014. It pours with a great looking crystal clear copper body that has gold hues and supports a near white head. This has big Nelson aromatics with mango and grape with a bit of spicy dankness and then a thin sweet malt base off in the background. The taste delights as its bold and rich and balanced with plenty of bittering hops and flavor hoppiness going on. Wow, I get spicy garlic and onion dankness and mango, sweet white grapes and then a thin layer of floral hoppiness at the edges of the experience. Terrific stuff.

GABF 2014. Pours a golden yellow appearance with a white head. Very intense aroma and flavor. Very resiny. Some citrus, mango, pineapple, other tropical fruits. Pretty dry. Fairly high bitterness. Somewhat dank and piney. Nice brew that I’d love to try again.

Tallboy can courtesy of jackl. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a large creamy off-white head. Good head retention. I can smell the beer from two feet away and it portends good things to come. Aroma of dank, earthy, citrus, melon hops, crackery and raw malts. The taste is lemon, citrus, earthy, dank, resin hops, pale malt and a bit of raw malt, mild bubblegum. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, strong lingering bitterness. Very nice IPA.
