A: Looks alright with a small pure white soapy head with a decent amount of retention. Beer itself is a semi-translucent straw like color which is quite typical for the genre but is a bit "grayer" than what I'm used to .
S: Smell is pretty light with biscuit malts, fresh orange juice and mangoes, light caramel and rosewater. It's an interesting combo.
T: The rosewater is much stronger than expected with a lot of the floral notes you get with a very ripe mango. Fresh orange juice is still there but much more in the background. There is some very light colored caramel flavors going on and malt biscuits. Even though it's a bit sweet, it's also super dry with a bit of chalkiness and grass-like hops.
M: Wayy too light for the genre. It's extremely dry feeling with very fluffy carbonation. With the residual sugars in the taste, I expected a bit more body and creaminess than this.
O: This is an alright beer. It's definitely a competent beer but the overly floral notes as well as the disappointing mouthfeel do bring the score down a bit.

Veiled and cloudy dark straw color, almost golden, with lots of activity. Thick foamy, almost creamy, light beige 3 finger head, lasting around 10-15 minutes, with average legs. Flavors of sweet grains, caramel, orange, grapefruits, wheat, Wild yeast, herbal and floral hops. Slick and smooth full body with prickly carbonation and a sharp crisp. Medium to strong strength finish, moderately tropical, slightly leafy and piney but more flowery, with a light straw and bardyard effect. A bit spicy in a coriander kind of way. Very close to an IPA in style, even closer to Belgian IPA so I'm not convinced about calling this an American interpretation. Although it's highly refreshing and well polished, highly drinkable and pleasant. Really good balance. Overall high quality craft.

Looks like a standard blonde ale without much of a head. Smells way better, lots of hop in the nose with some grapefruit there too. Really feels like it's gonna be an hybrid between an IPA and a pale ale. I wasn't really wrong, really hoppy in the mouth too with a good bitterness. Almost an IPA in itself, definitely not bad.

A: Hazy orange-brown, very little head.
S: Overpowering floral notes, a bit of mangoey fruitiness / malt in the background.
T/M: Balanced on the palate. Finish is also balanced. Floral notes again with Sharp carbonation, medium body.
Decent pale ale that I would probably buy regularly if available in Ontario. Purchased as a single so may be getting on in age.

Pours a super hazy burned yellow / orange, huge white lumpy dirty white head with big bubbles and amazing lumpy retention down to the bottom of the glass . Lots of thick soapy lacing.
N: Citrusy floral hops are dominating heavily, faintly tropical, even the smell is bitter, a bit of bready malt in the background
T: Nice aggressive hop flavor for 60 IBU. Nice hop complexity and well balanced. Citrusy hops, grapefruit aftertaste, some bread & cereal, a mild sweetness passes quickly over the center of the tongue.
M: Medium-High Carbonation and average bodied.
O: Big fan of dunham and this is really superb. For 60 IBU, this is almost as aggressive as some imperial IPA's I've tasted. Very very enjoyable with amazing hop characteristics.
