Poured from a 473ml can, Ekuanot, Simcoe and Loral hops.
8% alc,/vol. 83 IBU
Pours a clear amber with a thick white head, not much of a nose minor hops that is it.
A pretty weak taste for a double IPA, overall a ok IPA tried one and that is about it.

650ml bottle - part of this year's IPA Series. Made with Ekuanot, Simcoe, and Loral hops.
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly ecru head, which leaves some stellar tightly-webbed lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, some mixed citrus and red berry fruitiness, a damp minerality, and more floral, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, some muddled dark berry fruity esters, candied orange peel, a hint of flinty stoniness, subtly metallic boozy notes, and a further leafy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-stultifying frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, as a bit of hop acridity takes things down a peg or so here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and fruity essences contending with some minor lingering alcohol and forest floor detritus bitterness.
Overall - this comes across as both a complex, and somewhat disjointed version of the style, with lots of disparate flavours. Pretty much the kind of thing that one should just sip away at, not trying to parse every last little damned thing. Ok, it'll be weird, but I'll give it a shot!
