Going through a tasting session and forgetting your notebook at the hotel is not good at all. Orange color, very small head. Hoppy aroma, blended with a lot of yeast. Subtle tingling hoppyness, bit yeasty with a very smooth finish. Nice. (tap at ginger mans nyc)

Bottle. Hazy orange gold with an off-white foam. Aromas are stewed apple with caramel and spices. Toasty with pine and grapefruit. Flavours are bitter pine with earthy autumn fruit. Some chocolate with woody notes and bitter grapefruit. Peppery and warming alcohol on the finish. Bitter, dry and hoppy.

Huge massive foam that simply over took my glass. In fact we opened a bottle and a thick foam worm crawled out of the bottle as it sat on our table. Interesting.... Color is a cloudy orange yellow. Plenty of particles floating around. Tastes are sour and bitter. Plenty sour fruit with a healthy amount of hops. Not like an American IPA at all though, except maybe Victory Yakima Twilight. Nose is of yeast, funk, sour fruit, grapes, sour grapes, lemon, citrus, Nice palate. I think its a great beer.

Pours an over-carbonated beige head that fades to a fizzy lace and a hazy, deep golden body. Aromas of yeast, grass, grain. Flavor is honeyed grain, yeast, citrus and grassy hops. Some herbal qualities. Bright, tart, bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear light orange with no head. Sickly sweet aroma with notes of coconut and pineapple (pina colata). Tastes like apple juice with a weird aftertaste. A very strange beer. Not very good.
