Poured into an oversized wine glass a deep rich copper/bronze with a well defined 1/2 white head atop,great clarity to the pour.Very light citric hops and sweet alcohol in the nose,very light for the style in my opinion.Like most beers of the style I think its to sweet on the palate,sugary and caramel sweetness to me overtakes the citric hops,a little boozy in the finish.Par for the course as far as the style goes,its good for the style,I have, and am becoming more disenchanted in this style.My least favorite of the new Sam Adams Batch series.

From old, undated notes; poured from the bottle.

Dark orange color; murky.

Huge white head; frothy lacing.

Citrus hop competes with malt in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

A malt bomb of an IPA; we're approaching barleywine territory here. Still, not a bad brew.

Aroma is hops, flowers. Appearance: copper color, medium white head. Taste. Mostly nondescipt taste, a little pasty. A very nasty flavors late...mold/rotten vegetables? Or is it just flowers, which smell good but taste awful??? Feel: medium carbonation, medium body.

Nothing I would buy again.

Decent double from a 22oz. bomber. Hazy copper color with robust , creamy head, sides of glass are coated with head residue. Hops and malt vie equally for the aroma, and taste is sharply bitter, hints of citrus and caramel , and mouthfeel is velvety smooth. Way to go Sam!

From tasting notes. L: Pours brilliant amber crowned by a 2” light tan tinted off-white foam collar with a very fine bead. Provides thick lace.
S: Moderate to big hop nose
T: Background clean malty sweetness carries the hop flavors, like putting some sugar in a really strong iced tea – it brings things into balance. Alcohol is smooth, not hot. Bitterness is moderately high.
F: Medium full bodied, medium carbonation.
O: Well balanced, crisp, refreshing and well made.
