Growler thanks to Eric, this was without a doubt one of the best beers of the weekend to me, and one of the best IPA’s I have ever had. Pours light amber with a medium off white head. Aroma is so dank with tons of hops all over the place, pine, citrus, grassy, herbal. Flavor is very assertive hop wise, but balanced in a way that is dangerously drinkable. Dry in the finish. I want this stuff in IV form!

Growler at RBWG thanks to Eric, pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma is earthy tobacco and coffee with little hints of bitter cocoa. Flavor is big and roasty ending with some evergreen hop notes and a VERY dry finish. Well done!

Finally found my last page of notes from RBWG, thanks again Eric for these growlers. They were the highlight of our AZ Wine tasting! Pours light yellow with a bright white head. Aroma is cereal and hay with some peppery hops. Flavor is nice and clean grassy malts, may be some thin cereals and a nice Saaz finish. Really nice pils.
