Bottle sample, many thanks Roei, medium bubbly stable head, clear and a touch deep orange colour, aroma of rose petals,turkish delight, pomello and apples, flavour of citrus and herbs with a biscuity maltiness behind it and a strong but refined bitterness, short bitter aftertaste. Good and a bit different IPA.

On draft. Pretty typical IPA- leans more towards the sweet side w/ flavors of citrus fruits & some pine. Nothing too special, but a fairly good beer, nonetheless.

On tap at Beaver St Brewery. Fantastic west coast IPA. Smells fantastic, equivalent to an Imperial IPA like Double Jack. Beautiful off white head leaves lacing on the glass. Very hoppy taste, finishes with a taste of pine.

22oz bottle, thanks to Radarsock. Nice, thin off-white head, decent lace. Mildly hazy amber color. Great hop profile, and more full body for the 6.1%. Nice pine and resiny flavors, some pear, but also a significant amount of maltiness. Can’t tell how fresh it is without a bottled on: date, but I have a feeling the maltiness would be much more subdued if this was fresh. It’s not malty-sweet, though. Enough bitter is in there still to not mess up the taste. Lighter carbonation, medium-plus body, just a slight bit of stickiness. Really nice to wash down the first half of a turkey bacon jalapeno subway sandwich with.

12oz can courtesy of cbkschubert.
Lots of hops in the nose, very citrus/piney. Nice opaque amber color, only a small amount of head and lacing.
Just the right amount of bitterness with a moderate amount of sweet. I do wish it had a wee more carbonation, but it’s not flat or anything either.
I think it’s a pretty good IPA, wouldn’t mind drinking one again.
