Hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of alcohol, strong bright hops with a floral and very piney scent and a good deal of fruit sweetness near the end. Medium-bodied; Assertive floral and piney hoppiness shows at first then is rounded out by the solid malt backbone and some well-structured and fruity sweet notes that show pears, apples and some apricots. Aftertaste shows the bitterness from the hops at first, but also some nice alcohol warmth and a bit of the fruit as well, which pairs well with all the hop bitterness. Overall, a well balanced and still pungent Imperial IPA with a solid profile and smooth complexity. Not one of the best I’ve had recently, but not awful! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Beverage Warehouse in Winooski, Vermont on 19-September-2016 for US$3,50 sampled at home in Washington on 18-February-2017.

Sampled @ Extreme Beer Fest, 4 Feb, 17. Deep black color. Aroma is almost only vanilla.
The flavor has a lot of vanilla through the center with a mild espresso bean finish. Body is correct for a standard base porter. Light creamy texture.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a muddled yellow color with a fizzy white bubbly almost foamy head. No lace.
The aroma has some pleasant sweet fruits, ie. Peach, mango, strawberry and then a little bit of cherry.
The flavor leads sweet with a crisp refreshing aspect to it. Crisp sweet fruity aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice sessionable smooth feel all around. Carbonation beats at my tongue appropriately.
Overall, pretty good blonde ale. The sweet fruitiness to it helped to make it fairly pleasant. I could have again.
