355mL bottle (DOB is 8th march 2013). Pours a pale straw colour with a small head and a sweet sherbet/citrus aroma that is very faint. Big resinous piney hit in the flavour with a heavy bitter backing that is balanced nicely by the sweetness. Better than the standard IPA. Alas an imperial IPA is all about the hops and this beer, sadly, is not.

Light Golden Amber perfect pour..EXTREMELY smooth IPA. Tastes good and goes down great on this wam day a fantastic choice for a day at the beach or outside adventure. Chewy hops but never overpowering its a winner!!

ALcohol isnt too present as it is 8.2abv. Smooth finish with a good balance thst doesn’t leave the pallet overly dry. Good offering from Southern tier.

Bottle - Citrus and some pine nice malt sweetness. Clear gold with a thin white head. Hit of bitterness and bit of booze, pine and a nice malt backbone. Medium body and some tropical fruit in the mix. Overall a nice 2IPA.

Honey blossom, orange, and bubblegum aroma. Overly translucent, mostly straightforward yellow. Too fuckin easy to drink for a double, and carrying the aroma right through to the palate! Small, crisp, expanding bubbles that attempt a velcro sort of relationship with the tongue. Incredibly well balanced too; all the crisp aggression of the hops, held up by the stem of perfect malted thorniness.

Small white head with shards of lace; clear, pale orange-copper beer, well-carbonated. Fruity nose with grapefruit, lytchee, passion fruit and muscat; also succade. Quite bitter, and also similarily fruity. Citruspeel, succadehints if not sweet. Hopoils abundant; bit of cookies, again all but bereft of sweetness. Something of green tea too. Well-carbonated, medium bodied, and quite slidk. Refreshing despite the oils. Nice DIPA.

12 oz. Bottle from 6 pk bottle in 1/21/13. Pours a cloudy golden color with a white 1 finger head, good sticky lacing. A: a slight hop presence with plenty of caramel malt (is the beer past it’s prime? ) M:Chewy, thick caramel malt followed by a slight piney hop bite. Wonder if age of beer may be knocking down the presence of hops. Not bad but will probably ne better when more fresh. Good brew nonetheless.

Pours dark gold with a quickly dissipating head. Bright mandarin and lemon nose. Mouthfeel is thick without being syrupy. Malts stand up and compete with the earthy hops at first but then the bright piney notes take over and leave a pleasant fresh hoppy finish. ---That dog will hunt!

thick ivory white head, foam head and some lacing. straw-yellow orange clear colour. aroma of malts, fruit, peach and citrus. fruity taste, peach, citrus, sweetness and slight alcoholic and mellow bitterness. short bitter aftertaste. soft carbonation and nice quite dense mouthfeel. botle 35.5 cl / dob 11-30-12
