    Thanks for the love.
    I did just want to add that our lagers are by no means limited edition. I threw them all the time because they're always delicious and wonderful to drink.

    They have a NEIPA ready to hit shelves. Apparently they worked very hard on it. According to the brewer, it's everything fans love about the style, yet done the FW way. Cheers.

    Delicious imperial porter. Amazing lasting head retention/thick soapy lacing. Aromas and flavors of big toasted coconut, milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of molasses, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, herbal, pepper, piney hops; and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, peppery hops; and roast, charred, coffee bitterness on the finish. Medium-plus carbonation and body; very creamy, bready, grainy malts; some sticky hops and chalky roast in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing hop/char bitter dryness; no cloying, acrid, astringency. Mild increasing warmth of 8.4%, dangerously smooth. Was just a bit too bitter/drying than preferred; but I was a fan. Great balance of rich malt complexity, coconut, cocoa, and coffee flavorings; with balancing earthy hops against sweetness. Spot on American style example. 3.93

    Enjoying an excellent national collaborative IPA effort to support communities impacted by northern California's Camp Fire...



    4.15/5 rDev 0%
    look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

    Fine reddish-copper body with a thin yet lasting head. Excellent spicy hop aroma; floral and citrus notes; a note of sweetness. The taste mirrors the aroma; fine crystal malt crispness and delivering a fantastic hop bitterness and bite; also spicy throughout. Medium body; crisp and prickly on the palate; dry sweetness overall.

    A fine IPA by itself, tasty and appealing on many levels. It's also nice that it is part of the northern California Camp Fire community support effort, a collaborative effort from brewers across the country.

    What beer am I drinking now? So glad you asked!

    This one was quite a bit hot for my tastes but still comes off with a lot of character. I think it's one to age, perhaps the maple sweetness will come out more. Local store was selling these for $6 a piece so I bought one for me and one for another BA'er.

    @Hinda65 I think you'll like this one man I'll grab another single for ya.

    [​IMG] Poured into a 13 oz Snulip glass canned on 11/29/18. Pours a very attractive orange amber with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves thick gobs of lace. 4

    Smell is apricot, tangerine, pine resin, and grapefruit rind. 3.75

    Taste follows maybe a bit more aggressive apricot, tangerine, pine, mango, and some mild balanced grapefruit. 4

    Mouthfeel is bigger than medium, slightly soft on the palate, a tad sticky but not dry, and at 8% ABV goes down pretty easy. 4

    Overall this is solid, not really a NEDIPA, more like SOS, but a solid DIPA just the same. 4
