On draft at CCB la led as Twigs and Berries, poured an amberish gold color wih aromas of pine, christmas trees and some light cedar. Flavors are the same witb a touch of citrus thrown in, nice treatment overall.

Really great beer. It has a fantastic grapefruity nose, nice hop to malt ratio, finish is smooth and dry. My go to IPA at the stores and at many of the restaurants and bars in my area. Love it!!

Pours a hazy gold with hick white head. Juniper, cedar and citrus /pine hop aroma is big and awesome. Big citrus hop bite in the taste with some woody notes and a nice clean malt body. Good brew.

Part of IPA day at CCB. Pours a clear golden orange on tap with light head and little to no lacing. Aroma is like a christmas tree with hops as ornaments; the cedar mixed with the juniper gave me a very pine feel. The taste is kind of spicy from the cedar, but a clean wood flavor, and the hops and juniper actually balance out very well. Nice, but not sure I would get it if I saw it again.

IPA en notes força herbàcies. Un punt de tabac en boca. Per acompanyar un bon puro.

From a growler back in 2010 - This brew pours a dark amber color with a white two finger fluffy head that quickly disappears. At first the Juniper berries aren’t to noticeable. But as you let the beer warm up a bit the more you’ll notice the berries. The smell was more of a malt bomb then a hop bomb. But mixed in with the malt is nice citrus and piney hops and some other fruits. The taste up front is more of the same. Really nice amount of malt, citrus, pine, and what I believed to pick up as some peaches. The Juniper is there and it gives a bit of a bitter taste. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation. A little bit rough on the tongue.

Bottle 12 oz. Slightly hazy copper colored beer with a large off-white head of good duration. Kidt flowers and berry-like aroma with clear notes of citrus. Sweetish taste with notes of caramel, citrus and orange. Moderately bitter in taste and a long bitter aftertaste.

Entering old rates. 2010 originally as Twigs and Berries. Retrouve le profile typique de Jai Alai, couleur orangée toujours un peu trouble, col blanc épais. Nez est ici similaire avec encore un ajout épicé, poivré du cèdre. Dans ce dernier cas, je maintiens ma vue que le cèdre se présente plus adapté pour des bières houblonnées que bières brunes. Les baies de genièvre sont là et donnent un ajout agréable.

4 oz sampler / pour at Cigar City tasting room....hops hops hops....can taste the cedar....a little late in the tasting so some of my taste buds are zapped....one good beer
