DenverLogan (3311) - Burien, Washington, USA - DEC 12, 2019
UPDATED: DEC 12, 2019 From a 16 oz can into a stem glass. Pours gold with significant little floaties making me wonder the date, and keep wondering because I can't read the smudge info on the bottom. Aroma of light grains, malt, citrus. Significant carbonation and mouthfeel. Flavors of grains, rich malts, slight grapefruit juice, other sweet tropical juice notes, subtle rusty pipe bitterness. Overall rich, flavorful, tasty except the slight rustic bitterness.

2OLD4BS (1335) - west windsor, New Jersey, USA - APR 10, 2019
UPDATED: APR 10, 2019 Very nice flavor kind of unique and very distinctive. Lots of fruits but the dominating flavor is the sauvin hops flavor. Nice aftertaste. Well done!

jbruner (9247) - Lakewood, California, USA - JAN 24, 2019
UPDATED: JAN 24, 2019 Pours a clear golden orange on tap with fluffy white head that dissipates slowly to leave moderate lace. Aroma of huge tropical fruit and citrus hop notes over a touch of sweet bready grain and light fruity yeast. Taste is more of the same, resinous and dank hop notes, a touch of sweet candied orange on top of passion fruit and pineapple, light malt backbone to back it up. Booze is incredibly well hidden, really nicely done.

Bricks (1320) - Delaware, USA - NOV 10, 2018
Hazy medium brown/gold color with huge head and lacing.. Great smell... Tropical, Earth, citrus, sweetness, hops.. Taste is.. different.. definitely get a dry white wine taste, with grain and some fruitiness... Comes off like a IPA / saison hybrid. I like it.

hershiser2 (8174) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - OCT 11, 2017
Pint can from Wine Warehouse. Pours a pretty orange-amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of orange, melon, passion fruit... but it also smells old. Flavor is very melony as well, with hints of orange. Tastes old, like it's well past it's prime, but I'm sure that's just the way these hops taste (I don't know if I've specifically noticed this before, but a quick browse through other reviews says the same). Has a bitter white wine-like finish. I just don't like this.
