growler. thanks, riverside! Pours crystal clear medium amber with a dense tan head. Big piney, earthy nose. Big creamy body. Earthy, leafy mid-palate, almost garlicky, with big piney overtones. Long deeply earthy finish, kinda garlicky and peppery. Fun, rich DIPA.

Tap at the brewpub. Clear amber with a little tan head. Warm malty aroma covered by floral, resin and citrus hop. Medium body with mild carbonation. Feels very soft and lush. Certainly more bitter than sweet, but the finish is a soft, non-harsh bitter. Yet the mouth feels nothing much except bitter. Very nice and hoppy indeed.

On tap at the brewery. This amber ale poured with a fluffy beige head and a malty aroma. There is an excellent caramel malt base with some serious hop bitterness. Very tasty.
