Bottle thanks to blutt59. Amber gold with a decent off-white head. Aroma is of hops, fruit, cereal, nuts and malt. Taste is of hops, lots of fruit and bread dough.

Bottle from the brewery. Very powerful, bready aroma, alcohol, but good balance of malt and hops. Much sweeter than I’d anticipated. Definite orange flavor, lime. Hint of cinnamon which I guess others are perceiving as vanilla. Warming and pleasant. Never had anything like this, which is great. Too bad I only have one.

Bottle. Pours a semi-cloudy orange/amber, thin off-white head. Touches of sweet hops and fruit. Sweet hop flavor and a touch of oak. Crisp and semi-dry bitter finish.

Bomber thanks to GCurlow. Pours a hazy dark orange with a thick frothy off white head. Caramel malt, vanilla oakiness and citrusy hop aroma. Taste is slightly thick, bitter citrus hops, thick malty body with a little touch of vanilla oak. Great blending of flavors, really good.

On tap at DL 09. Pours a deep dark orange color with a large billowing off white head. Big piney citric hop aroma. Lots of fresh musky hops with a nice sweet caramel and bready toastiness. Flavor is again very piney and earthy floral hops with that big citric character. Finishes crisp with a lingering piney bitterness. Medium fuller body. Not really too english with those big pine citric aspects but tasty nonetheless.

22 oz bomber acquired via trade. Fantastic label art as usual from 3F. Poured a deep orange hue with sticky white head and lacing. Aroma was much more muted in the hop department than I’ve come to expect from what sounded like a Double IPA, much more of a sweet caramel malt with citrus, floral and earthy hops behind it. The flavor also is decently malt heavy, with some light vanilla and those floral and citrus hop notes offsetting it. Very smooth on the palate. An incredibly interesting offering, not sure it’s going to become a favorite style but it was pretty tasty all the same.

Pours an orange/copper, with an off-white head, mostly diminishing, excellent lacing. The aroma is a sweet maltiness with some hop aroma, kinda light bread with hints of grapefruit. The flavor is a little sourness, bitter and the maltiness. Light malt, some vanilla, citrus. Creamy mouthfeel, light to medium body, soft carbonation.

Pale hazy golden with a small disappearing head. Full bodied with intense maltiness that is really well completed by the hops. It’s an american IPA in reverse, with the hops acting as a backup buddy that won’t let you down and that will exacerb your malty qualities. This is a unique kind of IIPA, really nice to drink a totally original hoppy beer that doesn’t taste like the last twelve double IPA’s you had this month. Truely great!
