cask at blind tiger- pours cloudy mahogony with hints and hues of orange, nose is beautiful hops, rye there as well. honey spices. mouthfeel is slightly flat, maybe this was better the day before. taste is long and bitter featuring big juicy hops and hints of rye.

Draft at the Blind Tiger. I had the sixpoint belgian IPA there the other day, and this one was definitely different. Aroma of rye malt, citrus / tropical fruit hops, and some belgian yeast. Initially I noticed a lot of the rye malt and citrus hops in the flavor, but after drinking for awhile, I was noticing more of the bubblegum / yeast / belgian flavors. Somewhat piney finish. Good beer.

Got this in a trade with Sixpoint. Poured a dark ruby with a huge long lasting creamy off-white head into my Kuhnhenn tulip. Leaves a lot of lacing. Smells of bread, caramel, flowery, and citrus. First tastes are sweet, fruity, spicy rye, followed by grassy, citrus bitterness. Meduim bodied with a dry finish.

Cask at Pacific Standard. I loved this beer. Really good stuff. Bright amber pour with some bubbles from the cask pour. Bread, citrus, yeast, and a ton of good sweet rye malt. Not as spicy as some, but just enough. Nicely bitter. Yum.

Bierkraft growler. Murky orangey brown with a frothy light beige head, leaving striped lacing. Initial aroma of clovey banana yeast, cake, and some raisin. Shockingly, I’m not picking up a whole lot of hops in the nose. Flavor is the other side of the coin--Spicy, grainy rye malt infused with the seemingly proprietary Sixpoint mega-package of grapefruity hops. These attributes seem to overwhelm any Belgian properties, but I did taste some yeast in a mild belch. Hops become more resiny after a while. Basically a rye-hop showcase not unlike the Righteous. Overall an earthy, chewy, grainy, bready, spicy, citrus-hoppy strong rye ale. Nice to see new beers from these guys.
