2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours flat, copper color. Plum and barn wood. Woody, nutty, vanilla, caramel, followed by bitterness. Not my cup of tea...

Mild aroma and thin appearance with a well balanced taste and warming mouthfeel.

Stunning category-busting IPA. Cloudy pour, which isn't that unusual. Fresh hops aroma (citrus and pine), which also isn't that unusual. But on second whiff -- an uncharacteristic vanilla sweet almost bourbony aroma, which is very unusual for the style. And the taste! There's a nice enough malt base, and some hops in the flavor, but the sweet oaky vanilla from the aroma carries through and infuses the flavor in a dominant but not overbearing way. Later, the bitterness of the style makes itself known, and carries through as the last man standing. I'm not sure I've had a smoother IPA. Hell, I'm not sure I'd call this an IPA after the oak aging! It's IPA-based at least. Regardless of nomenclature, this is one smooth brew, and I haven't had anything like it. Hopheads expecting over abundant hoppy bitterness and purists expecting prototypical IPAness will be disappointed; everyone else will love this beer.

12oz bottle thanks to cleg via local4local swap 4. Pours a hazy burnt orange color with a thin white head. Lots of floaties. Aroma of apricot, peach, pine, and oak. Wow. Taste is very oak forward, some citrus, bready malts, and a resinous/grapefruity bitter aftertaste.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Hazy darkish orange in color. White head with lots of lacing. Yum, this is a nice brew!! Floral and citrus hops give way to some wood character in the nose - guava? Papaya? Tropical goodness for sure. Taste is excellent - balanced tropical hops, a touch of bitterness some wood / vanilla from the oak.

これは、ビー&# Smells like piña colada Slurpee, dill, vacation, guava(?), freshly painted home - and taste pretty much follows, with a stronger wood presence. Complex and refreshing and satisfying, would bang on the reg. Carl Brutananadilewski would ♥ this.
4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours murky orange with a soapy white head. Aroma is strong nectarines and other assorted citrus. The taste is like biting into a soft juicy peach with wood and citrus notes. This is a very well done and unique beer.
