Pours an amber color... got it on draft and they poured it without the proper amount of head. Aroma was fruity with some hops involved. Taste was pretty nice, with well-balanced amount of hops. Slight sweetness. Caramel notes and citrus notes in there as well. If nothing else a pleasant session beer.

1.5L bottle shared by Morgan of the Great Orlando Beer Festival. Pours black with a tan head. Aromas of roasted malts, cocoa and espresso. Burnt malt flavor with coffee and chocolate. Full body with minimal carbonation and an ashy finish.

Not bad, more like an ESB than an IPA though, very bitter with that aftertaste that strips your mouth out. nice though, more than I expected.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. White head quickly disappears to skim surface. No aroma. Crisp with light caramel. Abrupt finish.
