4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft. Pours golden orange with a white head. Big tropical fruity aroma with piney hops. The flavor has citrus, tropical fruits, light pine, and pale malts. Bitterness and sweetness are well balanced. Good stuff.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Draft @ brewpub) Served in a heavy goblet. Very hazy orange-amber with barely a wisp of head. Very big citrus aroma, nice and fresh. Palate is medium-heft, lightly prickly. Flavor of big citrus and lighter pine over a sweet caramel malt base. Big bitter hoppy bite in finish but there is an odd note in the finish as well.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draught at Blind Tiger. Plenty of hops but plenty of malt, too. The citrus and earthy hops are well balanced by the caramel malts. I wouldn’t call this a hop bomb but it is a real nice beer. The abv is well hidden, too. Could have a few of these.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
draft at RFD. light amber pour. some alcohol, a bit sweet, good bite on the hops. a decent double IPA.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at Pony Bar. Poured a cloudy apple juice color. Nose was light but a bit hoppy. As advertised it’s quite malty for a 2x Ipa. It’s gott a certain depth of flavor with some hops shining through. It’s a bit sticky in the mouthful. Left me thirsty. Which meant I kept going back for more. It’s a bit on the sweet side, but not too bad, maybe I got the bottom of he keg. The finish was bitterish. Not too bad. Worth a try.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at the Pony Bar. Pours a light amber pour. Rough bitter hop aroma and a little citrus. Malty taste trying to balance out the hops. Just ok.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Somewhat of a dirty IIPA, this one was muddy looking and the hops were not crisp or fresh tasting, but they were great nonetheless and extremely biting and drew out the mouth water in the corner of the cheeks. Sort of like a chalky IIPA, if that makes sense. Lots of citrus and pine everywhere in this one. Definitely liked it.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap @ GIBF, great great DIPA from a brewer that needs to step up. This needs to be their flagship beer. great citrus and pine taste but not overbearing, good alcohol content for a DIPA but is very smooth, great job.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at Max’s: Aroma of hops, pine, grass, and grapefruit. Poured orange/copper/amber in color with a small, dense, off-white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Light to medium sweet flavor. Tastes of hops, fruit, tropical fruit, light alcohol, flowers, slight pine, and a hint of medicine. Light to medium body. Thin texture. Soft to average carbonation. Sweet, fruity, hoppy finish is dull
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
I grabbed a growler of this the other day and cracked it four day’s later.
Poured into a Weizen glass it had a minimal white head that settled to a sparse lace. The body of the brew was a clear copper in color with some red hints to it.
The aroma of hopes is very present I could tell there was some simcoe in it. Nice and floral very pleasant in the nose department. Flavor wise this is a very well balanced brew. There is enough hops bitter to know it is an IPA but with enough malt sweetness to make it easy to drink and at 9% it maybe dangerous. The brew had a medium feel in the mouth a little syrupy with the lack of carbonation. I will say that maybe it is the growler the sample I had on tap was more carbonated.
This is a good brew from a little underrated brewery. I will defiantly head back to pick up a few more of their offerings
