This ballast concoction is golden amber in color. Not much for head. Nose isn't too apparent. Tastes spicy up front and finishes slightly bitter in the back. Overall big beer.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 mcberko (4145) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 6, 2013
22 oz. bottle, sent from Neillago (thanks a lot man), pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Nose is both very hoppy and very malty, with loads of resinous hops, a little grapefruit and a whopping caramel malt backbone. Flavour matches this, with grapefruit, loads of resinous hops, some tropical fruits, and a big syrupy caramel malt. Not my preferred type of IIPA, as this is a big malty one, and not very dry and highly drinkable. At least there is no cloying sweetness despite the high malt balance. Overall, well-made and enjoyable, but not my type of IPA.
