3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Pint poured from a tall can. Sweet resiny nose, lots of tropical fruit (mango). Flimsy mouthfeel. Expected more pine & citrus, but this has a really sweet hop flavor. Only a bit of bitterness on the back end, but I'm still reminded of papaya or perhaps sweet grapefruit. Interesting brew nonetheless!

Can @ home via trade with lukaduke. Kick ass fucken a bronus! Pours a bit hazy, rust orange appearance with a light cream colored head. Creamy, mild tropical fruity, woody/herbal hoppy aroma. Quite strong. Some veggie, chewy malty notes. Woody, herbal, grassy, light fruity flavor. I didn’t really enjoy this one all that much but I wonder if I would have felt different had I tried this a bit more fresh.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
16 oz can from trade with 46er3498. Pours a clear golden orange-amber color with a nice 1 finger head that fades quickly but with some decent webbing. Aroma is pretty musty with lots of citrus and pine hops. Taste has very little sweetness and a pretty strong bitterness. Lots of hops but a very strong caramel malt base. Medium to heavy body, no oil in the mouthfeel, just some fizzy carbonation. Decent DIPA, but something seems a bit off. Would like a fresher taste and better mouthfeel.

Batch canned yesterday. 16 oz can. Huge creamy head! Light copper color fantastic citrusy nose. The smell is overwhelming, so much citrus you'd think you were peeling a grapefruit. The body and mouth are well balanced for an ale, to thick and yet enough to keep you satisfied. Very West Coast style IPA in that there is minimal bitter qualities with much floral and citrus shining through. No boozy flavor with impressive considering this batch wound up being 10.2%, although it has a nice warming characteristic. All-in-all fantastic IPA. Cheers.

Can shared by the custmister. Thanks David. Nose is resinous hops, caramel, lightly cheesy, cotton candy. Similar flavor, on the sweet side of the spectrum, or perhaps just not super fresh which is likely.

Tall-boy acquired in Portland. Amber and copper appearance. Huge fluffy off-white head which faded slowly and leaving behind a lot of lacing. Smells great. Awesome pineapple and grapefruit nose. Decent pine cone undertones. Very well hopped. Taste is not too bitter. The 10% alcohol is very well hidden. Loads and loads of pine and citrus that continues over and over. It’s not as great as the top IPAs but, as a 10% imperial IPA, it’s delicious and very well done!

Can from Lukaduke. Pours a dark copper with lasting head. Incredible hoppy aroma. Flavor is amazing hops that finish sweet. Very drinkable. Very good beer. Cannot believe its 10% abv
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured from a 16 ounce can thanks to lukaduke. Thanks! Pours a translucent copper color with a large froth of white head. The aroma is piny and resinous with some fruity undertones and some toasty alcohol. The taste is lightly bitter at first with a warming alcohol presence coming through tasting a lot like coconut. Interesting...(homebrew idea?). This is a nice beer, but maybe I shouldn’t have opened it after the Abner.

CAN ! Pours a rich copper color with a big foamy three finger head. On the nose it got a big citrus pineapple nose with touches of sweet spicy malts. On the palate... damn this is good ! Big fruity citrus, fruity pebbles and pine on the front balance beautifully off the slightly earthy spiced sweet caramel malts that hold their own but also keep a backseat to the great hop flavors. The mouthfeel on this is dead on... rich and smooth but not sticky !
