Sampled at the double IPA fest. One of the top ten beers there. Sweet, hoppy and balanced. Wish it was bottled.

From Growler. poured into duvel tulip. Pours a bright orange with average white head. Aroma. wow! alot going on here. Tons of floral and tropical flavors mango, Peach, pinapple and pine hops. Flavor is a mix of tangerine and peach with a nice warming feel. Alcohol is present, but not overbearing, The more it warms the more noticable it becomes. Very easy drinker. It will hit you after a few glasses.

Got to partake in a growler, courtesy of Adrian. Pours a golden corn coloured yellow with a foamy white head. Overwhelming aroma of floral hops, pine and citrus. Bitter taste of floral hops, citrus, and pine. Has a perfumy taste.

Growler thanks to BMan1113VR. Orange in color with a decent sized white head. Aroma is of pine, grass, hops, hay and caramel. Taste is rich in caramel with loads of hops, grass and spruce.

Growler pour courtesy of the BMan11113VR, many thanks ! Light amber color with a white head. Grapefruit citrusy aromas with flowers and ganja smoke. Smooth medium body. Huge floral and spruce sap hop flavors on a hefty sweet caramel malt base. Alcohol is well hidden. Great IPA.

Growler, courtesy tpd975. Golden copper pour, big white head and thick lacing. Big pine in the nose, citrus, tons of vanilla and spices, some heat. Works well. Huge pine flavors, citrus and tropical notes, some dry grain and oily hoppiness creates a very full and yummy body. Drinkable as hell, very delicious. Right up there with the best of the imperial IPAs.

Nose was very sweet with vanilla and hoppy citrusness. Mouthfeel is not too thin, slightly sweet and sticky with really strong caramel flavor, big bitter hoppiness, very back and forth flavor profile.
