12oz bottle, thanks CaptainCougar. Small beige head that mostly dissipates atop hazy copper body. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange/pineapple, some grapefruit, bread/caramel. Taste is moderately sweet, pine/grapefruit, some bread/caramel, light spicy, alcohol. Resiny medium body.

A reddish amber I2PA with a thin mocha head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with good citrusy hops, floral and resinous with citrus pulp, nice. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with floral and resinous hops, well balanced, grassy notes, Cointreau, warming alcohol, nice. Tasted with GRM March 1 2013.

12oz bottle shared thanks to Josh. Poured a medium amber color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of floral hops and some earthiness. Tastes of floral hops, pine and lighter caramel.

reddish pour. Nice hit of hops on the nose with a super caramel note. Flavor is sweet and hoppy. Good shit.

Bottle: Pours a transparent copper amber with a well-lacing froth of off-white head. Aroma of fresh resiny piny and grapefruit citrus hops over a sweet caramel malty backdrop. Body starts with good fullness and lots of juicy flavor hops and resiny bitterness well balance with sweet caramel and toffee before a full, bittersweet finish. A well-made and enjoyable double IPA.

Enjoyed at Pizza Plant Transit, improving bottle selection here with what’s a little off the beaten track. This one is all malts and bitterness, fortunately both are tasty and balance themselves, so decent beer for the style. Passable appearance, aroma, mouthfeel.

draft.
cloudy amber.
juicy orange, mango and strongly woody pine resin hop nose.
sweet and full-bodied.
strongly bitter AND sweet, ugh.
oily, slick, full, chewy, bitter and resinous.
high point is the soft malt.

Bottled. Poured crystal-clear reddish-orange with a moderate, well-retained cap of beige head. The aroma picked up juicy grapefruit, pine, and pineapple over a bed of sweet caramel.. some redder fruits and perfumey notes as well.. very sweet on the back of the nose with some alcohol warmth. The flavor found sweet caramel and redder fruits at the core with a lot of resiny bitterness around (grapefruit and pine primarily, backed by perfume).. warm on the back, but there were enough residual sugars to mask the full hit of alcohol. Medium-plus bodied and a tad grainy on the palate.. too aggressive in the form of bitters and booze at times.. for the most part a solid drinker.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of cbfobes. Thanks! Pours a hazy reddish amber color with a thin tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of big floral hops, berries, citrus and pale malts. The taste is toffee, berries, resin and citrus hops. Medium bodied. Nice.
