Can thanks to Gene! Amber colored pour with an off-white head. Big grapefruit and orange hop aromas. Some pine and floral notes, sweet caramel, and a touch of herbs. Nice fruity sweetness to the flavor. Some pine, grapefruit, peach, and orange. Lightly floral, some bitterness, and sweet caramel malt.

Growler fill from Aw Shucks. Pours a medium orange amber, slight chill haze, nice head. Aroma is lightly of caramel and biscuity malts, lots of citrus, mostly grapefruit and a bit of pineapple. Light to medium malt backbone, fairly neutral in profile, leads to a big hop finish - this is supposed to be a single hop beer made with a hop I don’t know they call Falconer (if I remember correctly). Hop notes are grapefruit and tropical fruit. Nicely done beer.

Can thanks to Collin. Clear pale yellow pour with a white head. Grapefruit aromas. Huge grapefruit hop notes with a tangerine sub tone. Slightly unbalanced, dry, and bitter. Good mouthfeel and body.

Can to snifter (shared by jmborggren). Looks good; a cloudy orange with off-white head that dissipates into sticky lacing. Smells good too; fruity and citrus hops with a nice, semi-sweet malt backbone. Tastes like it smells with a nice mouthfeel. Good beer!

On tap at Birch and Barley. Pours light orange with white head. Light nice grapefruit aroma, nice lacing, medium body, and well carbonated. Taste is grapefruit with nice malt backbone. Well balanced and easy to drink.

Can in a trade(thanks devin). Aroma is orange, citrus, and tropical fruit. Flavor is pine, tropical fruit, orange, citrus, and a nice hint of malt. Not overly bitter by any means but quite balanced for 9 abv. Really enjoyed this stuff.

Golden pour, very very heady. Very hoppy aroma of citrus and pine. Flavor is very fucking bitter, with some maltiness showing up in the finish. Smooth, nice mouthfeel.

bottle share at hill farmstead’s post-3rd anniversary. pours clear golden orange with a very nice white head, good retention and nice lacing. crisp and breadied malts with loads of juicy hops - tropical mangoes, grapefruit. floral and just lightly boozy, some ginger and citrus. very refreshing considering abv. average carbonation, medium body - oily, ends relatively dry herbal-grassy and refreshing citrus and pine. very good brew!

Can. Thanks to the guy who shared it at the Hill Farmstead 3rd anniversary bottle share. Hazy yellow/orange with a medium mostly lasting white head and heavy lacing. Aroma is heavenly hoppy (juicy hops) with loads of tropical fruits, grapefruit, pine and malt. Taste is moderately hoppy with juicy hops, tropical fruits, malt, pine, grapefruit and a moderate bitter finish. Medium body. Good carbonation. Slightly to moderately dry. Alcohol is well hidden. I usually prefer my DIPA in the 7-8% abv, but this one is still mighty good, refreshing and drinkable. Would love to drink this on a regular basis.

Pours a light orange with white head and little lacing. Aroma of grapefruits, piney, mangos. Taste is the same with a nice malt backbone, a bit spicy and little pineapple. Fnish is kind of dry. Medium body and medium carb. Really enjoyed this one.
