Oct 2, 2009 A Mes rate. Cask at GBBF.
Petrol blonde with a thin white head. Huge lychee, very tropical, some sweetish malt in the background and all round fruity as hell. Big bad bitter finish that is, at the same time, gloriously juicy. Great stuff.

Oct 2, 2009 Bottle - thanks beerbaron420. Pours a pure golden color with a finger of creamy, off-white head. Sticky lacing forms instantly. The nose is very sweet and fruity. I immediately thought apple juice. Further sniffing reveals a heavy citrus presence, pineapple and grapefruit. Sweet and sticky. A wonderful mouthful, silky smooth and rich. More grapefruit and citrus along with a lingering floral hop sensation. Some underlying maltiness, but definitely in the background. So smooth and well balanced. This is some wonderful stuff!

Oct 1, 2009 Golden colored, thin head. This was my favorite beer of the night, for the Skyview tasting. Pepper, pine, citrus, with a dry finish. I could smell this all day. Awesomeness! Looking forward to trying other Captain Lawrence beers in the future.

Sep 30, 2009 This beer is growing on me. This is the second bottle that I’ve sampled and it really seems to be a laid back, charming, unapologetic one trick pony. Smells really bitter and floral and that’s exactly what comes through in the taste as well. Whatcha got here is a sweet and earthy flower petal sandwich with a load of hop resin slaw. At the finish I get something bitter, spicy and earthy like horseradish root or something, no joke. Mouthfeel is thin in body but coating. Reminds me much more of an IPA than a double but a nice brew. Thanks Captain Lawrence. 2009 16 oz.

Sep 27, 2009 bottle. Pours a clear, golden with a big, fluffy white head. Nice lacing. Nose is of pine and caramel malt with some fruit as well. Taste is of pine and caramel. Mouthfeel is slightly sweet with a good bitter aftertaste. Nicely balanced for a double IPA.

Sep 25, 2009 Bottle – Shared by ygtbsm94. Thanks Brad! Golden amber, creamy off white head. Soft tropical fruit aromas warm to swirls of honeyed pine and citrus. Juicy guava-mango hop flavors and touches of candied pine and citrus ride a sweet toffee earth backbone from beginning to end. Medium to full bodied, soft carbonation, light bittersweet finish. Well put together, but guess I was hoping for something more...
