Thanks, Bri! Hazy orange golden with medium head. Nice profile of floral hops and moderately sweet and syrupy malt. Very solid, and not too thick. Not refreshing, but light enough to feel like you could drink a bit of it.

22 oz bomber courtesy of Todd. Pours a cloudy caramel with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma of floral hops, caramel and citrus. Taste dominated by citrus and floral hops with a presence of caramel. Big and Mighty.

Strong nose of orange and pine, cloudy orange, small tan head. Taste is a big hit of orange/pine, fully backed up by fine malt. Full bodied, very well balanced, great mouthfeel. Majestic! Thank You Torontoblue.

Had this one on tap at the brewery then I bought 4 bottles home with me. This is a suprisingly outstanding IPA. This one is the gold wax. Pours amber golden with a small head that dissapates fast. Aroma is sweet citrus, hops, and pine, sweet pine. Man I love my IPAs to have that piney aroma. Flavor doesn’t dissapoint, goes down like a monster double IPA but finished cleaner without heavy bitterness like a regular IPA. Very refreshing and perfect balance of hops where on hop is not too overpowering. Well done.
