GABF 2007. A pale orange-golden beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of over ripe fruit and perfumy hops. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of perfumy hops, leading to a dry bitter finish where a floral note lingers.

GABF ’07. Pours clear dark yellow with a small, fizzy, off-white head, diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, meal), average hops (flowers, pine), average yeast (sweat) with notes of pear and peach. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Growler filled at Capone’s. Pours a translucent golden copper/amber with an average size bubbly off white head that left light lacing. Aroma was a handful of fresh hops, very floral, sweet citrus with some nice sweet caramel malt. Flavor of very green hops, a little earthy, pine, grapefruit, mixed citrus, some sweet caramel malt, light hop bitterness with a nice balance of malty sweetness. Well done Imp. IPA.b 12%...would never had believed it.

Draught @ Capone’s. Amber/ruby with a light foamy head. Aroma of murky hops, resinous piney hops with a bit of citrus and light malt aromas. Flavor is initially syrupy & sweet then immediately overwhelmed by the piney resin flavor of the hops. Slightly grassy with a candied fruit finish and very heavy palate with sticky finish.
