3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma of citrus, sweet malt and yeast. A candy sweetness as the glass approaches the lips. Orange gold color with frothy white head that persisted. Less than medium bodied. A candy sweetness, a fruitiness, a big alcohol hit in the nose. The finish, after the sugar drains away, is fairly balanced, not too dry, and leaves decent bitter. There’s a woody note. Seems very much like a Belgian attempt at an IPA. If it was an import, I bet it would be getting higher ratings.

Courtesy CaptainCougar. Cloudy light amber pour with a thick head. Light fruity somewhat hoppy aroma. Big carbonation. Hoppy dry, like a hoppy dry sour apple ale. Very tasty, but I don’t see this being a DIPA.

Pours golden with a thin white head but decent retention. Hazy appearance. Rich, lovely aroma of floral hops and honey. Aroma is well balanced and not overpowering. Taste is somewhat muted from the smell, but good enough. Some hops and sweet honey flavors with very little bitter finish (odd for a DIPA). Alcohol is well hidden. Good but not great, smells great though.

Pours a slightly hazy copper-ish orange-ish gold-ish color with big white foam head. The aroma reminds me of the spicy yeastiness of a Belgian Ale. There’s also sweet malts, hints of toffee and light citrus malts in the nose. Doesn’t really smell like an IIPA. Nice full spectrum of flavors with sweet malts, toffee malt, biscuit malt and yeast. Seems like a malty Belgian IPA. The citrus hops are mild in bitterness for the style but I get a decent amount of citrus sweet late addition hoppiness. Tasty off beat IIPA.

Amber red color with a fleeting head. Nice pit fruit and floral hop sweet smell. Medium body. Flavors are apples, plums earthy yeast, and floral hops with a slight boozyness to finish. More Barleywine than i2pa flavors here. 987

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel, grapefruit, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of grapefruit, malt, and caramel, leading to a dry and quite bitter finish.
