Overall a great beer. I love the hop mythos of the field to kettle in 4 hours. It makes a good (true) story. Aroma is sweet with notes of pine and citrus. Front of the pallete is tangy with great hop character. After taste is slightly astringent with fruit characteristics.

Aroma of grapefruit. I like this okay for a pale ale, which is not my favourite style, but I’d drink this one.

Refreshing new interpretation of a PA. Served a bit too cold, small off white head that settled to a light cover which lasts and lots of lace. Color is a clear amber. Aroma is a little mild and not much indication of the great itegrated flavors to come. Those flavors tend towards slightly bittersweet, wet hay, a little bit of weed, caramel and a crazy juxtaposition. Body is bang on. Finish has proof of greatness cause I want more. Excellent, drink the fuck out of it beer.

A - Pours an almost clear copper-amber color with a thin finger of frothy white head. The head fades fairly quickly leaving behind some light lace.
S - Aroma is a mix of citrus and pine hops with some earthy elements and some light toasted sweet caramel malt in the background.
T - Starts off with a nice kick of citrus hops with lots of grapefruit and pineapple. There ins a bit of bitterness and some sweet malt in the background with a touch of fruity flavors. Through the middle, the hop shifts to a more piney flavor with more bitterness and earthiness coming through. The finish is a mix of pine and citrus hop, with some other fruit flavors, a bit of earthiness, and some light sweet malt.
M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Very smooth with nice resiny, bitter, and dry finish.
D - Very drinkable. Really showcases the fresh hops well. Not a huge beer, but the hops eally shine regardless.
