3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Wow a very nice complex IMP IPA from my home state of Pennsylvania.
Very complex, but well balanced and delicious.
Bold earthy, floral and caramel aromas. Tastey hop, carmel citrus and fruit flavors. A nice warming alcohol, dry finish. All blended to perfection.

1 liter, flip top. Pours a hazy deep golden, almost orange with a slightly off-white head. Good hops aroma with a lot of citrus to it. Tastes of pine & citrus hops & finishes nice & bitter. A good all around IPA.

Probably showing some signs of age, it was a good beer, aroma wasn’t anything great. There were some good hop flavors but nothing crazy, mellow bitterness which gives it a pleasing palate. Hops and malt balance well.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A dark yellow, white cover. Aroma is mostly just woody hops, some light toasted malts. Taste is a strong hoppiness, herbal, woody, light toasted malts again, nice bittering finish, but a bit brash with noticeable alcohol.

(draught) cloudy as hell, light yellow, creamy white head. Nose of candi sugar, pineapple, agave, papaya. Taste of pineapple, mango, delicious citrus, just the lightest bit earthy, light bitter but so well balanced. Prickly carbonation, earthy. A very unique IPA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Swingtop Bottle from the brewery; Pour is murky light golden with a modest white head that does retain fairly well. On the nose; tropical fruits, sweetbreads, and caramel malt; while the hops, barely present. A slight medicinal note is present , as well. Grapefruit, mango, caramel, grass, with piney hop bitterness lingering on the finish. Ultimately, we have a very drinkable Double IPA , for better or for worse.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours an orange / peach hue with a fluffy off-white head. Nice lacing. Aroma has a slight hop, but mostly sweet caramel and apricot. The flavor is a deep complex bitter. A little metallic and some hints of pineapple. Nice malt backbone. Body is rich. Good beer.
