Time for a little light in my life.
12 oz bottle
no date
North Coast snifter
Honey colored with a finger of head, off-white, not much retention
Aroma is of lemon, pithy orange, grapefruit, and slight slight pineapple
Flavor brings heavy caramel and hop resin/dust first, letting you know that this is an IPA through-and-through. Mid-palate is bitter grapefruit and slight onion. On the finish you get very slight tropical mango and some sweet grapefruit. The caramel malt continues like a bullet train through the whole profile and closes the show.
The beer scrubs the palate and then paves over it with a fresh coating of hop oil. This is a destructive beer.
Overall a solid choice for hop heads and old school IPA lovers. Won't disappoint.

Pours a clear coppery amber color with white head. Soft pine, citrus, some light fruit, and a little bread on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with light fruit and bread. A little more malty than what I prefer in an IPA.

Aroma is citrus, caramel and slightly dirty/earthy. The flavor is citrus/fruit, slightly dirty/earthy/a hint of sugar in the middle and a hoppy/hop resin finish.

More hops in the aroma than their pale ale. In flavor, the extra hops basically show up as extra bitterness. Ok beer, nothing special. A little boozy warmth in the finish

12oz bottle, 35015 Julian. Served in a snifter glass.
Pours a dark copper body, on the verge of brown. One finger white head , good retention, some lacing. I really don't understand why Wisconsin pale ales are anything but pale in the sense that they are so dark in body. It has to be something in the water. Smells of biscuit, grain, pine, a bit of grapefruit, but mostly floral and pine. Caramel. Flavour is mostly biscuit, caramel and grainy pale malt sweetness up front with a very bitter finish, mostly pine and a bit of grass/floral. There isn't a lot of aromatic hop character. It's a sweet pale ale with a bitter, somewhat piney hop finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, a bit syrupy, good carbonation, quite bitter aftertaste. It's alright, nothing too crazy. No real flaws, just that it lacks any substantial aromatic hop character, but does deliver a nice bitterness that does a decent job of balancing out the strong malt flavours.
