22 oz bottle. No bottling info.
After a little research I learned that at this time " Gary" is an anniversary brew that changes yearly. I am drinking the Fresh to Death series. 7.99 ABV
Pours a hazy to almost solid orange body.White head,Some retention, good lacing
Scent is really floral and sweet. Somewhat prominent.
Taste was out of the ballpark ! Floral sweet,with a very slightly bitter hop taste that was perfectly balanced with a malt that masked the 7.99 ABV.
Average feel
Taste was amazing.

Bottle from Safeway-Ephrata. Hops from the get go, permeating every aspect of this beer. Well blended too, elements of citrus and pine, medium weight, lingering bitterness. Excellent IIPA.

Appearance holds a cloudy burnt orange hue supporting a healthy head leaving nice lace. Smell has a strong malt backbone with piney fruity aroma with a nice hop balance. Taste has that strong malt backbone sweetness balanced by the hops. Mouthfeel is medium full with good carbonation. overall a good IIPA having a unique flavor profile possibly coming from the yeast.

Big head with good retention and plenty of lace. Color is amber and hazy. Smell is big floral grapefruit pine and caramel malt. Taste is big bitter hops almost brought to heel with the sweet caramel malts. Website indicates an abv of 7.99% and theoretical IBUs of 120.
Lots of yeast floaties that mostly stayed in the bottle. Actually tasted pretty smooth for such a big beer. Keep up the good work Ironhorse Brewing.

22oz bottle poured into a large mug. Left a fair amount in the bottle, so if there's a lot of sediment, it should be in the bottle. No dates or codes that I can see, although it's labeled "version 8", for what that's worth.
Pours a slightly hazy ruby brown with a very large light beige head. Medium amount of active carbonation. Smell is nice -- lots of rich caramel, overpowering a vaguely pretty hop profile. Wet straw. Based on the look and the aroma, I thought it was a imperial red ale.
Taste is more IRA than IPA as well, hich is unsurprising. Lots of caramel again, a little burnt toffee, something very bitter and dry.
Mouthfeel is coarse, gritty. Overall, it's not a bad beer, but it's not doing it for me tonight.
