This hazy unfiltered IPA delivers beneath its golden colour a tropical fruits mix bowl impression along some rye bread. The use of oats make this one very silky. Nice one!

Pours an unclear yellow, with fine, soapy foam.
Smell is heavy on the piney resin, with a hint of pepper and spruce.
Taste starts with some pepper, and then hits with a wallop of bitterness. Lots of piney resin and citru, but never overpowering.
Mouthfeel is medium, sticky and well carbonated.
Overall, a terrific IPA, where the rye really shines.

Hazy bright yellow color with frothy off-white head. Aroma has spicy hops with some astringent pineapple notes. Taste follows with bittersweet hop flavors, spicy notes, pineapple and some sweet grapefruit. Medium plus body, soft carbonation. Overall it's a really nice IPA, smooth and easy drinking.

Poured on tap at the brewery into a willybecher glass
A: murky hazy turbid yellow tan body with barely a wisp of a white head.
S: I think the rye pops more in the nose then you have papaya mango and pineapple.
T: the Rye is right up front followed by a little spiciness and then some fruit pineapple mango.
M: medium bodied a little chewy lowish carbonation.
O: I'm not blown away by it. I like it but I think one claw is better the flavors are more subtle.

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass. Canned August 18th 2017.
Large frothy, and off white colored thick head out of the can. Soapy fine in appearance, but claims a giant fist height and good staying power, with a slow sink down. Creamy top, but more soapy make up, resting on a opaque and pale grapefruit yellow and muted orange body color.
Soft hop aroma, slightly hints grass with herbs and a bit of tropical mango/pineapple like quality on the hop angle. Slightly diverse hop angle, with a touch of spicy malt, and a hint of zest. Fairly solid.
Palate yields quite a bit of tropical hop notes, and a touch of bitterness on first sip. Very syrupy and somewhat sweet malt backbone going on here, creating a very sticky mango like flavor, but with some earth bitterness to contrast at least. Finishes quite fruity, but also a hint wet strangely with all the thick syrup flavors and tones.
Comes off like a syrupy and sticky imperial, but with a decent hop profile at least.
