(22oz bottle bottled Jan 20, 2009 thanks to Mora2000) clear medium orange with oily white bubbles. Nose of oranges, honey, corn if swirled, chlorine and grains. Taste of oranges, wheat, grain mash, grapefruit, still hoppy 1.5 years later, oily body that is slightly syrupy with a citrus finish.

The beer pours a hazy orange color with a white head. The aroma is orange citrus with a lot of caramel malt. It smells a lot like a hoppy barleywine. The flavor is again like a barleywine. It tastes like caramel-coated oranges. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. I didn’t know what a year and a half old Double IPA would taste like but I am happy with the way this one aged, even if it is now more of a barleywine instead of a Double IPA.

Avery Brewing
Ale to the Chief
Pours orange with a brownish tinge and a medium white head. Decent retention and minimal lacing. Somewhat oily on the glass. Aroma of sweet oranges, bananas and toffee. Smells damn nice. Flavor is a slightly sour version of Lenny’s RIPA. Not as sweet as it smells with a medium bitter finish and a nice caramel malt note. Good but not great. Crisp, bubbly mouthfeel, but I wish it were sweeter.
