Poured this 12 oz. brown bottle into a Sam Adams glass. No date. The body was murky, dull amber. The modest khaki head faded slowly.

Smell was whole wheat bread dough. Fruitcake. Where are you hops?

Taste was too balanced for an IIPA. Plenty of maltiness. I hope this is just an old bottle, otherwise they should take the "Hop" part out of the brand name of this one.

Mouthfeel was medium to full. Medium to mild carbonation. I would like to try this again when I know it is fresh.

Murky dark orange hue; lots of flotsam.

Off-white head; frothy lace.

Caramel malt & booze nose. No hop profile?!

Thick mouthfeel.

Sweet caramel with a hint of grapefruit.

This is a low alcohol US barleywine. Decent but disappointing.

12oz bottle, fresh and served in a snifter glass. Pours a darker caramel amber body, one finger white head, good retention, not much lacing. Smell is toffee, caramel, pineapple, a bit of citrus. Mostly sweet and slightly boozy aromas. Flavour is also on the sweeter malt side with caramel and toffee sweetness throughout, slight pineapple flavours and a bitter resin halfway through and persisting into the finish. Good carbonation, medium body, moderate resinous bitterness on the backend that is balanced out by the fairly strong sweetness.

Brown in color with an inch of densely packed and creamy light beige head. The aroma is of heavy pine to citrus hops and bready light malt. I'm tasting a nice wallop of grassy to piney and lightly citrus hops and crackery light malt. The mouth is very resinous, thick, and chewy.

Solid hop work but nothing out of this world, and that is the theme of this one. The malting is very heavy, even to the point of cutting into the hop profile a bit, but it is solid an enjoyable. More sweet fruit like grapefruit than hop spice. For a dipa, is a bit mild, but a solid brew

Pour looks sexy as it comes in an orange and peach color, head foams up to about 1/3" and then the hop oils jettison that shit up and out. Aroma mixed some wet hop like green notes with a humid hangover.

Taste dropped lots of bittering hops, the malt bill is substantial without going into excessive roast or caramel like qualities. Alcohol stands down, hops stand up, nothing exotic, just a big medley here. Price is right too.
