Hazy, unfiltered copper appearance. Thick, off white head with lots of carbonation. Smells of malt, taste has some up front hops, with malt reinforcements dominating the middle taste segment. Great, full bodied mouthfeel. Another unique winner for Napenthe, they have a fresh take on classic styles and always feels original.

Unsure as to if this sample was from a bottle or draft. Poured a hazy orange color. Aroma was of sharp pine hops along with a fruity hoppiness as well. Lots of citrus. Floral hops as well. Some light, malty sweetness. Flavor is an initially stinging dose of pine and grapefruit. Then I get a little more of the fruitiness. Behind the hops is a candied sweetness. High bitterness. Chewy mouthfeel. Rather intense. Pretty well done.

From BeerAdvocate Magazine #79 (Aug 2013):

We can fully appreciate bottle-conditioned brews, but Candia Road really should tighten up production as this character—or to narrow it down, the yeast—takes over a bit too much. Another case of “yeast gone wild,” the potential is there, though falls way short of what we expected.

STYLE: Double IPA
ABV: 8.2%
AVAILABILITY: Year-round

LOOK: Deep amber, hazed, massive head

SMELL: Intensely floral, lots of yeast, toasted grain, faint caramel, exotic fruit, hemp seeds, rose water

TASTE: Juicy hoppiness, faintly dank, slightly biscuity grain, sharp bitterness, chalky yeast, estery, apple skin, astringent; extremely dry, very bitter finish
