12oz - Aroma of doughy malts and chewy hops with a Play-doh finish. Flavor matches with a touch of dusty citrus. Palate is sticky and tart. OK but a little off.

Bottle: I’ve never seen a dark IPA before. Pours clear brownish/amber with a thin white head that dissipates. Smells fresh like an early spring morning in a dewy meadow. Light body and slippery mouthfeel. Finishes bitter but not overpowering.

Pours a slightly amber orange with thin white head, minimal lacing. Aroma nice of citrus and slight floral hops, decent malt backbone, pine, and grass. Flavor comes together nicely, but ends up a little thin for my liking.

Bottle. Gold with a thin white head. Aroma is a little odd, definite chinese food with a hint of manure and rubber. Odd as that sounds it was pretty nice smelling. Obvious hop presence, dry and spicy with a slight hint of garlic perhaps? Quite different for an IPA and nice enough.

Nice copper color with a big fluffy white head with plenty of lace. Nice citrus aromas, with some pine sap, and some grainy malt. Flavor is lemony and citrusy, the bitterness is not terribly intense but is certainly present. Nice caramel flavors, along with some floral notes. Not too bad.
