Commercial Description:
A beer of inherent contradiction. This heavy weight of the beer world is strikingly delicate with a white gold appearance. The light fruity aroma dominates the initial confrontation; lychee, kiwi and passionfruit all prevail with subtle nuances of cherry and strawberry. Don’t be fooled however by this smooth medium bodied ale. As it trickles down your throat as this wolf in sheep’s clothing begins to grow teeth. The bite comes as the bitterness builds and endures no matter how hard the malty sweetness of the alcohol tries to tame this ferocious beast.

Huge grip and bite. Not as different or radical as they brading suggests. Fuzzy to look at. Dry lasting long on the tongue fade. Very good. Malty.

Color appears to be clear dull gold and has a fluffy white cap that is producing some creators on top, lacing is fairly sticky but yet this beer is not very appealing to look at, its probly the dull gold body it just aint turning my crank, however Gully trying to make his nipple erect as I drink this is. This has the unmistakable sent of sweaty feet, some grape fruity hops, and finishes off with sweet candied peaches. Taste is fairly thin and not offensive it’s just lacking any real flavor except for bitter. The flavor is just way to watery for my liking and has no noticeable malt presence. Its very drinkable but tasty and memorable it is not there are hundreds of better IPA’s to choose from."

Dull looking, orangey straw body with a short and hardly lasting head. Some citrus on the aroma but mainly sweet malt. Not a bad taste but just doesn’t turn me on too much, grapefruit and lemon, thin and almost watery.

Aroma of sweet lemon. Appearance is cloudy golden yellow with a very thin white head that lingers in spite of how thin it is. Flavor has some faint honey, ginger, and black pepper. It finishes extremely bitter in a dry way. This would be an amazing beer with pizza or something else, but doesn’t quite stand alone as a bold IPA. I’m curious if their new filtration methods will change the flavor in this beer.

Pours pale gold with medium white head. Aroma is lemony citrus hop, light earthy funk. Flavour is tart lemon citrus again, very low malt with an earthy presence under the bitter floral finish. A little thin in the body, but interesting.
