I do love IPA and IPA inspired beers, but this one not so much. Shared a bottle with benzai. It smelled and tasted a bit funky.
Good thing that these guys will have their own brewery soon though!
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Brilliant coppery straw pour. Honey-like. Overly large white head, even when pouring carefully. Lacing is there, when the head finally dies down. Long wait. Buttery toffee aroma. Like lots of toffee. It overpowers anything else that may be there. Not much of an IPA aroma. I didn’t call it an IPA, the bottle did. Carbonic dry mouth. A little sweet. Not much taste past the toffee, again. Not that good.

"Feb 2013; Lot: 539."
aroma is honey and hops, also slightly tart with cherries and peaches and some bretty horse.
pours a very cloudy dark orange with fluffy beige head.
flavor is fairly bitter, sharp fruity/piney hops backed by light syrupy sweetness.
very fizzy -- i’d say overcarbonated -- with a medium-thin body and long quite bitter honey/fruit finish. somewhat astringent.
this is an odd combination of fruity belgian aroma and a biting bitter flavor and finish.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours a dark, opaque orange body, medium light head. Mild and somewhat dull aroma, yeasty and fruity. Unlike what you would expect from the 56 bittering units, Pipedream makes for a punishingly bitter beer, thanks to the interplay between the mildly bretty yeast and the bittering hops.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hopfiger, eher aber prickelnder herber Antrunk mit sehr leichter Malznote, die sich im Mittelteil hintergründig festigt. Klebrig werdend, die Hopfigkeit nimmt etwas ab, bleibt aber auf präsentem Niveau und Hauptaroma. Ausgewogen, wenig nach Kräutern und etwas hellmalzig. Gelungenes Sessionbeer, dem es an tiefgründigen Aromen aber etwas mangelt. 13/9/10/8/8/9

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Geruch hopfig-zitrusartig mit verdeckter Holznote. Im Antrunk kurz säuerlich, dann bittertrocken. Mittig leichte Zitrusnoten, wobei die Trockenheit sich noch immer hält. Abgang leicht säuerlich-zitronig und holzig-staubtrocken. Eigenwillig, aber nicht zu verachten.
