4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Pours a dark amber with a gorgeous almost inch and a half of head and awesome lacing all the way down. The smell is of citrus hops and toast. The first taste to hit the tongue is the citrus hops followed by more piny hops. The malty breadyness follows almost immediately and blends with the hops with just a touch of spice to make for a nice, smooth finish. This one is just about perfect in the mouth if not just a tad heavy on the carbonation. Man I love this beer. Definitely one of the best IPAs I’ve had in a while and hits just right on a cold Buffalo day.

4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Dark amber colour with a large fluffy head. Aroma of citrus, some fruitiness and with a hint of roasted caramel. Taste of hops with a superb character with pine and steady, even bitterness that stays around. A delectable beer with a smooth mouth feel a slight sting of bitterness in the aftertaste.

A - Pours a hazy amber copper. A rocky 2 finger off-white head retains very well.
S - Woody pine forest, fresh pine needles, orange and grapefruit citrus, strawberries, doughy caramel malt.
T - Citrus hits first and is more pronounced than the aroma lets on. Green pine cone hops come in and add some herbal bite along with earthy strawberries along a honey caramel malt.
M - Very creamy medium body with moderate carbonation.
I look forward to this every year and never disappoints.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Beautiful cloudy amber with a thin yet creamy head. A delicate citrus and pine nose with a hint of burnt caramel. Slightly more aggressive front palate of pine and lovely fresh hops leads into a small amount of malty sweetness. A long dry, yet balanced end. Nice ipa without being too ’out there’ or overly aggressive
