3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/2022 oz bottle
A fabulous example of the West Coast imperial IPA style this one was actually not as much of a hop bomb as I was expecting. I find that a good thing; it lets other aspects shine through instead of be dominated.
Aroma / Appearance - The copper transparent body is engulfed by a pillowy soft white head. Clear lines of lacing give it life as it settles. The aroma of fresh rose petals melds with oranges and a hint of malt to form a near perfect combination for my nose.
Flavor / Palate - Creamy caramel hits the tongue first followed by orange and chocolate. Lodged in the back on the tongue the bitterness takes root as it settles in the throat. Mellow and drinkable for the style I would not mind having this again - it’s a good thing that I can now buy it locally.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice deep gold color. Stinky nose of garlic, onion. Malty core, a bit of grapefruit pith, but mostly garlic and green bell pepper. Had a small pour from a neighbor in our weekly guy’s beer night and pour out what I had left. I guess this is the Summit? Not my thing...sure some love this, but I really hate this.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at home. Clear orange pour, huge foamy almost white head. Aroma is grassy, citrus, some grapefruit, sweaty and some pine. Flavor is quite bitter with loads of hops. Well balanced, slightly sharp in the finish but very clean and well drinkable. Nice brew.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Mostly clear light copper orange, foamy off-white head settles and fades. Earthy perfumed hop aroma. Floral herbal bitter spicy hops dominate the taste, some farmyard, sweet malt and citrus is subdued. Average carbonation, medium-full bodied, aggressively hopped. Spruce, grapefruit and some caramel malt become more prevalent as it warms. ABV well hidden. Bitter hoppy finish. DNFL (Definately Not For Lagerboys)

Somewhat dank orange citrus flavor to this one, has an odd smell to it that I can't put my finger on. The taste is very good though - very bitter and hoppy. Poured from 22oz bottle to maudite glass. Great beer overall, just didn't love smell
