Can thanks to cocoapuph! Pours opaque black with a medium brown creamy head that dissipates slowly leaving nice lacing. Aroma is roasty, ashes, cocoa. Flavor is light sweet, medium bitter, a bit of anise. Full and rich in the mouth. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. This is a hella good stout for those who don’t like them sweet.

Lightly hazy, light tan colour. Very sweet nose, banana but also some bubblegum, higher alcohols. Body is a bit thin and also a bit sticky...an odd combination. Phenols are plastic first then bubblegum. Cloying finish. Sorry, Jeff, this just didn’t work at all for me.

Draft A- Citrus, hoppy. A- Light copper color, clear liquid, white head. T- Bitter, peaches, mangoes, grapefruit, citrus, pine. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, smooth finish O- A really good IPA. Lots of tropical citrus noted that time down the hops and make for a very refreshing and smooth IPA. Sadly, I only got part of one and really wished I could have sat down to a full pint to really enjoy it.

I received this in an in person trade when I met him at the Hangar on the Wharf.
Because its an AIPA, I didn’t want to wait on this, sigh, I hope I don’t look like a beer snob but hopefully a beer nerd as I didn’t go out fishing tonight to sit back and really enjoy this beer. Sigh, ok, here we go.
I poured this into a pint glass because it is an AIPA. I didn’t see any date anywhere, but my trader did say this is two weeks old.
The appearance has a nice hazy golden color with a nice one finger white foamy head that ends up dieing after a minute. The lacing is extremely slight and stringy clinging right to the sides of the glass.
The smell is dank nasty - whoah, I love it for the most part, where did this awesome stuff come from (New Mexico, haha, I love it uh....Heady and Pliny uh...I think you have a contender), There’s a nice allocation of spicy and bitter hops to slightly overcome the sweet maltiness that ends up trying to come out.
The taste is mainly bitter but in a good way, as there’s nothing really telling me there’s any sweetness to it no matter how much I let it warm. The aftertaste is pure bitter and dank nasty (nasty in a spectacular way). The finish is somewhat dry.
On the palate, it sits about a medium in body with a decent carbonation that goes well for the AIPA style that is fairly harsh but still adds enough to compensate for a decent harshness.
Overall, in my opinion, this is an awesome AIPA that I would love to welcome again. However, because of where I live, I’m only able to get this through trade, no worries, I would love to have this again and possibly see if I could put this with its respected food.

650ml bottle from a trade, huge thanks to CheapBeerBuzz
Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of fresh juicy hops, zesty notes, lemon, citrus, grass, spices and malts. Taste is pure happiness, with spicy zesty juicy notes, citrus, grapefruit, grass and caramely malts. Finish is lingering bitter, fresh zesty hoppy and juicy with loads of fruits and floral notes. Quite massively hopped and tasty IPA.

473ml can from Elise. Deep burgundy brown-black body. Big rusty beige head. Sweet chocolate aroma. A really well done Stout, with Milk Stout tones for sure, but also a nice roasty edge. Has a really nice mouthfeel. Lots of depth. Solid.

473ml can from Elise. Hazy yellow orange body. Not much of a head. Pleasant honey banana-clove aroma. Medium bodied, well balanced. Smooth golden malt tones, big yeast notes. Some lemony clove tart bitterness up front, but fades into a sweet malty finish. A pretty solid stateside Hefe.

At Kyle’s tasting. Good ipa, from a can. There are hops with lots of citrus with grapefruit and a decent dose of malt to give a little sweetness.
