Tap at the MBG Winterfest.This was actually a very good brew,the first from this brewery that I have enjoyed.Cloudy amber with a lovely grapefruit nose,not that radical too perfumey aroma that some brewers come at you with in their Dbl IPA’s.

Hops with a large fruit profile in the aroma. Very dark orange with a long lasting head that left a lace. Flavors of bitter hops and fruit with some floral tastes. Full bodied. Not as good as the Town Hall Masala Mama, but a very good ipa.

Hazy, light head (loose and diffuse), amber body. Good to the nose, with pine first and foremost and some grapefruit and perfume notes less obvious. More orange-like than the Anchorhead, which was available at the same time. Solid finish, not a massive bitter punch. Very well done. (tap at brewpub)

Tap @ brewpub. Cloudy orange color. Not has well hopped as I would have anticipated for an imperial IPA. Slightly floral with a bitter but sweet finish. A lot of character, although not necessarily a powerful IPA.
