Über-bubble, if-just hazed, loose ocean foam, goes poof!, then just nebulae. Oily lacing of misfit moustaches. One swirl, though, and instant star nursery. Tangelo-lemon goodness blasts from the glass! Pure tropical mango from the tree. Grapefruit aspirations. Equally bright palate with the focus on a mineral-citrus that finds the perfect palatial trajectory, and sticks the landing on four hops. Namely, Mosaic for the baptismal tesserae, Citra for the gilded apse, Hallertau Blanc for the hallowed ground, and galaxy for the space between. Amen to the combo. Tartaric reverberations through a briny air, really quite evocative. This tastes the way Florida sometimes smells just after a rain. Tropical and saturated, but clean and spring-y. Jasmine, sweet grapefruit pith, lime and lemon. Really a great beer! .

Reptilian eye-amber. Cotton-white feather headdress. Sticky lacing with evocative, spider trap density. Heavy perfume of ripe peach and peach blossom on the tree. Pink roses. Sherry sweetness, and barrel spices. Funkiness leads the way with over and underripe apricot turning peachy in nature, but bringing a brined pickled peach and white pepper phantom into play. Cardamom pods. Finishes with green note, nearing onion. Persistent sourness throughout, Not for the faint of heart. .

Tang-sequel coloration with perfect equilibrium and crown persistence. Wig white, even dissipation reminiscent of fine cigar burn. Striating lacing of cartoon chompers and snowy tangle of wildwood. Pleasant malty and citrus interplay punctuated by oranges and pink grapefruit wild strawberry tart with caramel and sweet tobacco and Turkish coffee from a distance. Paisley lacing ensues. Lemon oils and candied grapefruit peel frame a tangerine occurrence and sparkly mineral stardusting, and a textural approximation of peaches that adds pliancy. After the initial fruit, and subsequent sips your mouth builds up the bitter units to tangible topography that lingers. Overall, a well crafted and thoughtfully restrained offering from an iconic producer. You can sense that they wanted to get this one right. Lacing remnants: gothic text with horror overtones on one side, middle command graphics, and a t-Rex-alligator-puma logo for your new pumped up kicks. .

Golden with amber suggestions. Glows, but oddly opaque. Poached egg foam topper that recedes to reverse galactic pointillism. Juicy nose of ripe pink grapefruit, mango, pineapple and Meyer lemon, lime zest, and peach blossom. Soft sweet grapefruit and it’s spongy pith keep the entry light on carbonated clouds with silver mineral. Orange peels back to reveal hidden lemon, lime zest, and grapefruit juices. The whole suggest a cool minerality. Best enjoyed in sunny south Florida in some less infectious future. Solid session ipa. .

An 8.7abv pounder seems like a contender for bell ringing. Let’s see if this Big Philly number has the clapper, and is all it’s cracked up to be. The judges are looking for a big freedom ringing ding-and-a-dong before they bestow the bejeweled belt. Pale aspect, though sinewy. Platinum flattop. Is this Dolph Lundgren (on the DL)? Does that make me the Italian S-T-A-L-L-I-O-N mang? Some know where I’m go-ween with this. Wealth of the ‘Delph. Ridge over space pods lacing where the pods spill downward in the unctuous tears of muscle sweat. Juicy grapefruit nose, tinged with a little octane, oranges, lemons, and limes; all parts. Soft butterscotch parts, too.. Dried tropical mango, pineapple and just a bit of ginkgo fruit bruised in the knees. Gorgeous mouthfeel. All the classic beer elements share the stairs here! Candied trio of citrus peels here: lemon, orange, grapefruit, and touches of caramel apple. Not a long finish, but a hard fought TKO in the end! .

Translucent amber with ruddy edges, firm, foamy yellow shaded crown. Ghost-cephalopods lacing bigly. Tropical pineapple, mango and subtle banana fruits with clementine tendencies. Acute dried citrus rind, allspice and jasmine fragrances. Bitter savory and nettle and lemon oils spring upon the tongue and echoes of dried rinds with zesting scars. Caramelized banana, pineapple essence, resinous cannabinol drops and beet leaves in grapefruit oils with green banana skin deviations. Powerhouse ipa. Sometimes life is endured more than enjoyed. This beast is a little of both. .

It’s a G thang. Not a well-liked vintage, so adjust flavors with your mind. Rim to rim black concentration. Black cherry and blackberry, dried black currant, espresso, licorice; dark chocolate, black pepper and violet aromas. Black cherry stays true to olfactory perceptions, add bing, dried cranberries, red currant reduction, basil, cracked pepper, and dried cherry. This number broke my berry abacus, and I could not imagine it in a better vintage. I think I appreciate what the tough vintage made Mr Ahnfeldt adjust to. This is leaner, and the cherry lends it a super T touch. I like the cherry. .

Bubbly, dark, apple juice amber, with a loose-knitted, white shawl. Angkor Wat architecture undulates to Himalayan linearity lacing. Toasted orange bread, ripe pineapple, persimmon, sweet petrol, poached pear, lemon marmalade, and the slightest citrus compost smell. Strong brown bread, and rosemary entry. Grapefruit peel, lemon pith, heavy hop oils are pacified by a grilled lemons, limes and salt, aloe and prickly pear. .

Hard poured this inky octopus to a pattern-bald, latte-afro pate with dancing nematode swirls in space riffs. Sticky cellulite ‘lacing’ painting the glass with stain-stars. Black. Burnt baklava aromas, maple char, black chocolates with windowsill mint, malty dark caramel, baked aromas. Coffee and resinous chocolate, baked maple syrup, poppy torts, rye bread with dark caramel, baked chocolate with ganache for a sleepover, Thai coffee reduction, treacle, a sweet black pepper and sassafras and dark rum sprouting fresh vanilla bean. Intensely variegated, layered, concentrated. The Dagwood of imperial stouts. Piled 6 feet high, enjoy with a friend, horizontally. .

Lemon-jelly opacity, with cotton ball top that craters to Mykonos dolphins’ playful dance lacing. Lemon pudding, peel and zest nose also suggests orange peel freshness, pineapple bits, coconut, and lime. Perfect interplay of acid versus creaminess here, with the edge tending to acid in the minutiae. Papaya smooth, with guava and dragonfruit, paw paw, soursop, apple and pear extras, banana essence, lychee, lime pith and grapefruit. Exquisite tropical panoply, that rivals many of the best. Incredible job here! Lingering pineapple coppery note, and library of citric pith permutations. .
