@Tampa Wkly Gathering courtesy fishingnet-22oz bottle-pours a thin white head and gold color. Aroma is floral, sweet medium malt. Taste is floral/herbal, sweet medium malt. Soft carbonation.

Pours amber with a nice white head. Smells of pronounced resiny sticky pine, some citrus, spice. Tastes resiny with some sweet citrus, sticky pine resin, peppery.

A mug or more at the brewpub: This poured an amber body with a slight haze and a tall sudsy head that coated the glass(es) with thick lacing. Nice citrus hop aroma - oranges, tangerine, pink grapefruit, a touch of zest. The hops contribute more flavor than bitterness to the taste, nicely balancing a light, slightly spicy caramel sweetness. The bitterness returns in the prolonged, dry finish. Nice job by Mr. Shimkos.

Bomber with dark blue wax from Archer Liquor. Pours a rich copper, slightly hazy, with a three-finger white head. Aroma is pine, citrus, and peach! Near full bodied with foamy carbonation. Flavor is rye, caramel, and a lot of resin and citrus. Seems to have hot bits. Nicely bitter. Bready rye flavor. Finishes bitter and interesting. Not quite smooth, not too harsh. That rye works well. Kind of yeasty/spicey. Maybe that’s the hot bits. Really good stuff.

Dark blue wax dipped bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours with a clear dark amber body and a tan head. Aroma of caramel, crystal malt, hops and orange. Taste is caramel, orange and a bit of spiciness. Medium bodied.

Bottle from BeerBunker. Thanks! Rye malt, caramel, citrus, and floral notes in the nose. Pours hazy amber orange with a thin head and a little lace. Rye and caramel, lightly spicy from the rye, citrus hops, earth and pepper i the finish. Easy drinking, well balanced, not really bitter or resiny, but a nice use of the rye malt as a showcase.

Courtesy of TampaBrew, thanks Gary. I thought we were thinking this might be the Station Lady Columbia IPA? Oh well, I’ll follow like the mindless sheep that I am. Pours clear copper with nice off white head. The aroma is mild with pine, earthiness, floral and grapefruit hops mixing with some malty sweetness. The taste begins earthy then moving to pine and then toward various layers of malts and crystal malts and then biscuit into the finish.

22 ounce bottle shared by CrellMoset. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy amberish copper color with a thin wisp of sediment floating in the middle. Moderately large head with good head retention and lacing. Aroma is malty and nutty with peppery notes from the rye along with fruity hoppy notes featuring mango and other tropical notes. Taste is leafy hops, citrus, mango, rye and nuts. Very faint bubblegum notes as this has almost a faint Belgian vibe going on. Medium bodied.
