22oz bottle poured into a large tulip
o- med-bold sweet nose w/ notes of melon, honey, and caramel malt; some funk in there as well; profile is a combo of resinous, woodsy, and earthy hops dashed w/ honey and melon, over a fairly hearty caramel malt backbone; lots of lingering bitterness in the finish; med-bodied w/ some dryness; alright

Much darker than a traditional IPA. Very malt driven and flavorful. Would definitely recommend.

22 Oz bottle. No bottling info
Pours a not quite clear gold/orange body with an off white head. Minimal retention and lacing
Smell is mostly hop forward and somewhat astringent. Mostly pine, but there is a definite malt presence here too.
Taste follows with the astringent quality up front. I normally appreciate a bitter finish bit the bitterness lingers in the aftertaste a little too much.
Thin to medium feel
Overall; Meh...

Got this on close out at my local wine store. Knew nothing about it. Frankly wasn’t expecting much. Upon opening the bottle, I could smell very little to discern it from other brews. But on the first taste, I was pleasantly surprised by the full bodied feel. The dark amber hue of it’s appearance reminded me of the amber ales that I so enjoy. Having never tried this ale, I expected a hops explosion (which I don’t particularly like). However, Industrial IPA’s hops were well tempered. To me, it was like a well-bodied lager with a light hops undertone. Oddly enough, it finished in a bitter way that made me want to keep on drinking.
Overall, it was a lucky find. I will be back at the store tomorrow to hopefully clear them out of their close out inventory.

L) Pours a thick, dark, amber with a creamy off-white head. Good retention and lacing.
S) Nose is heavy on resinous hop notes, with a bit of yeast funk and sweet malt.
T) Very hop forward, strong on the sap and resin. Has a strong malt backbone to back up the sappy bitterness.
F) Well carbonated, and has a creamy mouthfeel.
O) Not bad for the price at all. Would recommend to dank sap lovers.

Poured from a brown 22 oz. bottle. Has a bronze color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of malts, some hints of citrus. Taste is malts, some caramel, light citrus, mild bitterness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall, isn't a bad beer, but lacks the punch and flavor I expect from this style.
