I smelled this and proclaimed Summit hops. I was wrong. Big juicy dank aroma, some pineapple and lemongrass. Clear gold, tall proud sticky white head. More gummy pineapple coupled with abrasive pine. Strongly bitter, with a long tingly finish. Medium bodied, no alcohol sting, just gooey hops.

For 6.5 abv this is a strong single IPA. Aroma is resin hops, spices, and a very unusual malt scent. 3 finger head that sticks around. Not too good of lacing going on. Taste is very hoppy and bitter with a great unique malt to balance it out. I first attributed the faint citrus to grapefruit, but seeing amarillo is one of the four hops included, I think the note of citrus is coming from the amarillo, could be both grapefruit and amarillo. The world may never know. Great drinkability for a heavily hopped IPA. Great balance. Seems like there was a little of time put into the balancing of this brew. Would love to have it on tap. To the hopheads, if you haven’t tried it, it’s worth a try with the unique malt and quadruple hops combo.

Light orange in color with a small but rocky head. Aroma is creamy orange, grapefruit, and a dash of lemon. Flavor is extremely bitter, and it’s a harsh chalky bitterness. Very astringent finish. A part of me loves this, and another part of me wants to throw it across the room in disgust.
