Commercial Description:
Our version of the IPA beer style possesses a deep golden hue, rich malty flavor, a bold, complex, and enduring hop finish and is extremely full bodied. We dry hop this brew and use a combination of Fuggles and Chinook hop varieties resulting in an extremely enticing floral and spicy aroma as well as hop character. Great Western Two Row Pale Malt, De Wolf-Cosyns' Caravienne and Munich Malts are combined to achieve an initial specific gravity approaching 1.065.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & mds -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy orange with a large lasting fluffy white head. Aroma is surprisingly sweet with fruity malt, some spices and a variety of fresh hops -- very nice! Hoppy flavour nicely balanced with sweet caramel malt -- pleasant spicey bitter finish. Simple but damn tasty. Medium bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Wow, I can’t believe how underrated this beer is, I thought it was absolutely delicious.

Bottle (650ml). Shared with blankboy and mds, my bottle. Slightly hazy orange with a large off-white. Sweet-ish fruity malty, resin/citrus/floral hops. Taste - very bitter hops (herbal), citrus malt - nice balance. Average IPA body, decent carbonation, lightl astringency, nice herbal finish - nice.

Bomber which unfortunately exploded upon opening, sending five or so ounces onto the floor and into the sink. Doh! Otherwise, poured a cloudy orange with a huge merange-like craggy tan head, mostly lasting and leaving stripes of lacing. Aroma of grapefruit and piney hops, spice, a bit of soapiness and some tree sap as well. Very hoppy flavor, spicy, with rich caramel butter-toffee malt foundation. Almost reminiscent of an imperial. Medium palate-smooth. Nice lingering resiny hop bitterness on the finish. From what I salvaged this is a very good left coast IPA. Quite surprised the average rating isn’t higher.

Bomber. Poured a clear medium orange with an explosive and long-lived cap of creamy beige head... left some nice lacing. Nose was airy and grainy... with hard-to-reach pine and spicy hops... some caramel and toffee beneath. The flavor carried itself a little better, with pine, grapefruit, and spicy English hoppage on top of super-sweet caramel and candy corn. Medium bitterness on the not-so-memorable palate... a bit tacky at the back-end. Decent.

22oz. Bottle. Good floral aroma. Body had a firery copper color with big foamy off white head. As soon as I took off the cap foam was bubbling like that oil Jed Clampit found in the hillbillies. Took few minutes for head to settle so I could have a beer. Medium bodied brew with a good mix of sweet, citrus, spice and bitter. Sweet dry palate, decent beer.

Copper body, huge light tan head. Nose is piney/resin hops, grapefruit, medium toasted malt, maybe a hint of alcohol. Flavor is citruc/pine, relatively sweet malt. Grapefruit in the finish.

Pours with a humongous head that laces beautifully, and unfortunately makes drinking the beer very difficult. Aroma is strong in hops but exhibits strong vegetal characteristics, celery, eggplant, tomato, too much so, where I normally prefer my hops citrusy or piney. There is a strong funky maltiness in the flavor that is uncharacteristic of IPAs and tastes very german. Overall, the really comes off as almost being a german IPA, rather than American (not to mention west coast).
