On tap at Odd Side. Deep brown body with little head and lovely chocolate and coffee aromas. Damn good. Heavy chocolate and coffee on the palate. Nicely balanced and just all around wonderful.

On tap at Odd Side. I have waited a long time for this beer. Every time I show up I has just kicked the day before or something like that. Well here is my moment... Pour is a slightly hazy gold with little head and magnificent aromas of tropical fruit (citra?) firs sip reveals that this would be an excellent IPA and then the heat kicks in. I love it. It’s hotter than I expcected. Darn good stuff.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 5/3/2013. Pours moderately cloudy golden amber color with a nice 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice soapy lacing clings on the glass, with some moderate streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, passionfruit, lemon zest, floral, grass, light pine, light honey, and floral earthiness. Fantastic aromas with nice complexity of hop notes with a solid malt balance; with very good strength. Taste of tangerine, lemon zest, pineapple, pine, grapefruit, floral, grass, bread, light honey, and floral earthiness. Moderate floral pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus zest, citrus, pineapple, pine, floral, grass, light honey, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity of hop flavors with a solid malt balance; with plenty of flavor for 4.5% and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with nearly zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an absolutely fantastic session IPA! All around great flavor balance and robustness at 4.5%; and extremely smooth and crisp to drink. An incredibly delicious offering that may become a regular buy for me.

All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Perfectly balanced juicy, vibrant, dank, and fairly earthy Citra hop complexity; with a great bready pale malt backbone, and minimal residual sweetness from crisp resin drying. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. One of my favorites.
