Tap into a tumbler showing hazy grapefruit pink with very sparse white foam. The nose shows moderately intense notes of pineapple, passionfruit, and guava. The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Moderately intense notes of passionfruit, guava, and light pine resin. Mild bitterness on the finish.

Bottle - Dark roast, chocolate and some mild hops. Jet brown with a decent beige head. Dark cocoa, light chocolate and roast. Hops are there, but just not enough for my taste.

Can, Legacy. Only a little bit of haze. Medium head. Dark straw. Sort of an overripe fruity hop on the nose. On the palate, some thick malts, fairly bitter, alcohol and again the fruits are a bit overripe.

Can from Legacy LRS, Vancouver
Murky dull blond colour. Pungent aroma of citrus fruits. Smooth mouthfeel, just lightly chalky and lightly sweet; the malt base has nice crackery qualities; the hopping is very juicy, strong citrus character, hint of mango, mild piney hops too, and more bitterness than most NE IPAs (hence better).
Very good.

Draught at Malone's Urban Drinkery, Vancouver, January 2012, as Russell Munich Eisbock, 9.5% ABV
Amber color, bright, with persistent creamy head. It has a light malt and caramel aroma. Ordinary flavor of Amber Ale, with a mediocre body strength, a light nutty touch, and strong bitterness. Not an Eisbock.

On tap. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of grainy pale malt, caramel, mango, muddled citrus and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, butter, mango, guava and muddled citrus with herbal hops in a dry finish. Medium body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. A little bland, but not terrible.
