Brewed with Organic Honey and Aged on Rum Infused Oak Cubes.
This Extra IPA is brewed with barley, oats, organic honey and aged on rum soaked oak staves. The floral aromas of honey meld into rich oak flavors. The malt bill is balanced with three doses of dry hopping of Mosaic and Galaxy hops to create a robust tropical hop monster. Drink fresh for hop flavor or age up to a year to bring out the malt and oak flavors.

No date on can.
Deep amber and cloudy with a very sticky head of white foam.
Aromas of berries, pears and pineapple in balance with rich sweet notes of toffee and honey on toast.
Faint hints of higher alcohols waft in and out. Great blend of fruit, malt and esters.
Flavor reflects the aroma - great balance of herbal hop bite and malt sweet.
Mid swallow, fruit flavors of apple and cherry while the grassy hop bitterness comes through strongly before and after swallowing.
Medium plus body with excellent balance and warm mildly boozy/hoppy finish.
Probably the best NEIPA from these guys I've had and one of the better ones overall.

pours a deep gold with a large head. Tons of lacing. Creamy, and more hoppy than I was expecting- with earthy, floral notes and a creamy, smooth finish. Not a sweeter beer, which I thought might come from the honey, but I did taste the back-end of a complex honey note. Very nice

A: The beer is very hazy pale whitish yellow in color. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a thin collar around the edge and lots of lacy rings of bubbles down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of honey are present in the nose along with notes of mango and oak.
T: The taste follows the smell and has lots of flavors of honey along with notes of mango, oak and stone fruit. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA does a good job at meshing together the aromas and flavors of the hops and the honey.
Serving type: can

A burnt gold, charred honey color, thick haze and robust white foam hat.
"Dank Weed" in the nose is very true, you can smell the earthy sweet honey, oak and piney sweet hops very well.
The sweetness from the honey, the pine and vanilla oak of the tree, the fruity, earthy blend of the hop vibe all swirl around in great balance and complexity.
Zesty and zippy undertones of dried earth and smooth oats coat the palate and keeps you wanting the next sip.

Hmm…not as good as other beers from the brewery. Lackluster. The look was fine, but the aroma, MF and taste were hohum. The rum and honey are faint. The high ranking reviews don’t reflect my experience.

Pours a dark hazy orange with a small fluffy head and a lot of lacing.
Smells of grassy piney hops along with sweet fruits.
Tastes of pineapple and mango with a slightly bitter and sweet finish.
Medium body with light carbonation. Smooth, lush slightly syrupy mouthfeel.
This is a very drinkable, smooth, sweet juicy brew.

Classic look - honey colored (like the name implies)
Smell -really sharp hoppy aroma - almost more pine west-coasty, but pungent and present.
Taste - excellent hop balance with the malts.
Feel - great mouthfeel - bubbly and smooth
Overall - a top notch offering.
