5.9/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Hazy, if dull, blonde colour. Big frothy head. Smells sourish and orangey. Has a soft malty accent, then a big hit of orange. There's a little bit of bitterness in the finish. Maybe a touch of fruitiness. I guess it does what it's supposed to do.

Cloudy gold, thin white head. Strong peachy/apricot nose. Thin, watery peachy start, no mid, light hop bitterness. Gassy

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out stewed pears, some piney hops, and bready malt. Flavour is a bit boozy, with stewed pears, hop resins, sweet caramel, and bready malt. It's a bit boozy, sweet and chaotic, but there's some nice resinous hops and fruitiness here. No masterpiece DIPA, but better than the hater below me says.

16oz on Brian's deck. Appearance: murky brown with a white head. Aroma: coffee, roasted malts, some hoppy character. Taste: along the same lines, some unripe fruits. Overall: pretty good.

473mL can, pours a dirty black with a small beige head. Nose is very dry, with lots of potent earthy hops, and toasted malt. Flavour reveals a nice earthy and piney hop character upfront, with dry bready malt. Really nice hop character, balanced really well by the dry malt. Excellent.

Can. Dark brown, thin head. The base malt comes across weak, like cocoa powder sort of thing, but the hop overtop of that is limonene and pine, which I like. On the palate, the body is fairly full, lots more of those terpenes, big toast, chocolatey malt. Haven't seen too many Black IPAs lately, and I'm pretty happy with this one.
