Cask @ Avery. Pours a slightly hazy, bright orange color; off-white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of chewy earthiness and oranges in the aroma; soft hop profile; some basic sweet maltiness and oranges at the core. Relaxed carbonation. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy orange and grapefruits hoppiness, mildest astringency if any, and chewy, basic, sweet orange and earthy malt core; generous, slightly rough big beer with a solid, juicy orange hoppiness. Medium finish: dry orange bitterness, mild astringency, and some sticky candy sugar; on the dry side.

Pours a hazy orange/amber with a large frothy off-white foamy head. Sweet juicy hop aroma, some ambrosia/fridge, lightly toasted malts, pineapple, marshmallow, light resin. Taste follows aroma, juicy pineapple, light pine/resin, light chewy toasted crystal and caramel malts. Very floral, juicy and sweet. Bitter aftertaste. Seems somewhat oxidized even though its only 2 months old...

Nice sized beige head with good retention and a nice bit of lace thats sticky and lasting. Clear, orange/light copper hued ale. Nose is fruity, lightly flowery with some caramelly malts also. Body is medium, lightly oily on the palate, a touch grainy. Lightly sweet malts backed up with some earthy hop notes, a hint citrusy, light honey notes, fruity and sorta juicey. Lightly sweet, lightly astringent finish. Bottle procured @statelineliquors.

22 oz bottle. Clear honey brown; with coaxing produces a bubbly meringue head and lacy streaks. Nose is lemon-lime, orange and caramel. Medium body with faint stinging carb. A touch of resin and syrup. Seemed like a double IPA from the nose but taste shows more hyped malts versus hops. Taste is caramel, candied orange peel, melon and pine. Beautiful toasty sweetness with a spicy finish. A well done Imperial Pale.

Bomber served in trappist glass- poured transparent hazel amber color, medium carbonation of tiny bubbles, half finger head white with a brown tint formed and laced. Aroma of malt, citrus, and hops, very appealing! Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, sweetened malt hits the tongue at first but hops come roaring in that hold up in the middle. Finish has a pineapple/young papaya twang, which in this brew, only adds to the uniqueness of it. Not your typical ASA, but it hits a 10 on my awesome meter!

Tap. The beer pours to a glowing copper body with a creamy white head. Awesome appearance. The aroma is sweet candied pineapple and other hops. The flavor is an ultra-sweet up front candied pineapple and a long lasting liquid barley. Bitterness kicks in on the finish. Ultra smooth sweet body.

Bottle after work, well deserved. Honeyed amber hue with a healthy white top. Aromas of citrus juice rather than the rind. A slight bitterness creeps in as the notion of marmalade subsides. Palate entry is spiked with red grapefruit and more candied rind. Their is an interesting voice that leads a little bit towards menthol and verges on mothball but I’ll chalk that up to dry hopping and esters. Well balanced, although I really believe that the abv. should be closer to 7.5% rather than 9% but it ain’t my baby. Drinkable and dangerously quaff able. The menthol and alcohol should be worked out around the end of January, good timing.
