12oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and cold color. Aroma is pine/light resin, orange, some light malt. Taste is pine/light resin/herbal, northwest hops-some bitter, orange, lemon, some light malt. Dry finish.

Bottle from Canals. Clean amber pour with 1 and a half finger white head, Citrus, pine floral aroma with a pine, caramel malt flavor and a mild bitter hop finish. It was ok, enjoyable.

12oz bottle, from Capone’s (Norristown, PA). Poured golden amber, capped with a moderate sized beige head. Modest hop aroma with earthy and piney notes, along with some caramel malt. Flavor is predominantly piney hops, with grass, earth, and just enough caramel for balance. Long earthy hop finish. A nice, very drinkable IPA.

Hazy amber with no head. Sweet fruity aroma with hoppy and mild piney notes. Same goes for the flavor that ends bitter.

Cask at GBBF08. Weak caramelly aroma. Hazy amber colour. Good malty flavour, some caramelly and grassy hops. Hint of yeast and berries in the aftertaste.

My second purchase of phila brew co. So kind of had a good idea of what to expect, as I loved the Kenzinger. And all in all I wasn’t let down. Very heady pour, nice golden murky color. Mild subtle hoppy flavor. Alcohol content is a nice bonus. Although I am a fan of PBC, I have found that there is some consistency misiing in the overall tastse in a case. Yet, For the price, I can’t pass it bye.

A Mes rate: gravicask at GBBF.
Hazy amber gold colour with no head. Lovely sweet and fruity malt with some delicate hoppage in the nose. Very earthy and almost chalky in the mouth. Decent bitter finish though. Possibly not quite ready but it’s still ok.

12 oz bottle pours and amber/orange color with a medium off white head. Aromas of orange caramel, malts, and some floral hops. Taste starts out semi sweet with hints of caramel, and orange strong presence nuts. Finishes with pine. and some hopy bitterness.
