Best iipa nose ever. Pineapple, tropical fruit, grapefruit, pine, floral, every amazing hop aroma ever plus soft malty sweetness that just balances. God this smells good. I want to pour this on myself before I start everyday. Regis christ. Pours golden bright orange, great lace and head. Was a 4 til I noticed all the hops sitting in the bottom of the glass. This is killing expectations. Full hoppy flavor - pineapple, grapefruit, pine, weed. Its an amalgamation of hop flavors plus light - super light malty sweetness. Hops are resiny and sticky, but juicy and sweet. Drinkability is unbelievable! Top ten for sure.I could only imagine this fresh off tap because after 2 weeks growlered it is one of best beers I’ve ever had.

Growler from riversideak...wooo! Unfiltered golden with hop bits and a huge head. Wow...the nose is god damn amazing! The combo of pineapple, mango, resin, super danky weed, honey and light malt to balance. Body feel is right, chewy but not too heavy and perfect carb. So citrusy up front, but not overly sweet and goes quickly into prickly pine, bitter citrus zest and grass...fuck this is good. If this beer is this good out of a over filled 2+ week old growler, I can’t imagine how good it is fresh. Thanks Alex!

growler. thanks, riverside! pours a cloudy, chunky dark orange with a loose white head. lots of stringy lace. enormous candied pineapple nose, there’s incredibly bright pine in there and lots of dazzling citrus fruit. creamy medium body with lively carb. orange, tangerine, grapefruit, caramel, and toast on the mid palate...dry and clean, no stickiness, no oil, no lingering gumminess. just entirely drinkable but the aromatics and fruity flavors are overwhelmingly good, intoxicating in their power and allure. delectable, delectable dipa.

Draft at bp. This brew has chunks of hops in it. Awesome. Great lacing. Orange, grapefruit, mild resin and pine. AWESOME IIPA.

Clear dark yellow with a fizzy white head. Sweet orange lemon honey and a tart bitter caramel finish. Well done.

On tap @ Breakwater Brewing Co. Rumor is that this is the new incarnation of Pizza Port Frank. Clear amber golden with a creamy one finger off-white head, fading to a thick ring and tattered film before long, and served ice cold. Huge pineapple and grapefruit rind nose with some dank weed behind, even hints of melon. Only some light caramel sweetness is present so far. The flavor is the same fantastic hop bomb with the caramel malts pulling off the light cotton candy sweetness, even blending with some tasty dry-hopped herbal notes. Bitterness wasn’t ungodly high--maybe at a 6--with some light warming alcohol. I wouldn’t guess this to be 8.7%. Semi-dry. Medium-full body with lighter prickly carbonation. Fantastic.

Yea boy! Pours cloudy orange/yellow with a smallish white head and good lace. Smells sweet and citrusy, nice orange and grapefruit aroma. Tastes sweet and citrusy, bitter hoppy. Lots of bright citrus flavors and good bitterness. Some alcohol burn for sure. Full body, good carbonation. Great beer!
