Amber with a thick white head. Tones of grapefruit, lychee, pine and cirtrus in the nose with similar palate. Caramel malts less grassy and bitter than Punk IPA but still a winner. V drinkable alcohol well hidden

Pours an orange amber with off-white head. Quite a malty IIPA. Caramel malt, sweet candy sugar, orange, grapefruit, earthy malt, and finishes with bitter floral hops. Sweet and bitter IIPA.

Pours hazy auburn with a i cm tall but very thick white head. Oranges, pine sap, mango, and grapefruit candy in the nose. Denser mouthfeel than the Punk IPA. Grapefruit and orange peel with resin in the taste, with that iced tea flavor. Biscuits. The malt is earthier than the Punk IPA, which seems to fit with the higher alcohol. Again, different than my usual West Coast IPA’s, but very good.

Cloudy light gold body with a bright white head. The aroma has some nice fresh baked bread and hints of orange flowers. Very subtle in the hopping, especially as they want this to be considered a IIPA. The taste is bread crust and iced tea. There is also a little bit of orange peel, but it is subtle. I would consider this more of a big amber rather than an IIPA. Still, a decent and very drinkable beer.

Hazy golden with a rocky white head. Grapefruit and earthy hops aroma. Creamy caramel taste with a decent bitter bite with a long dirty musty aftertaste.
