hazy golden amber color. The nose if big piney, oranges hugely defined with some caramel subtly in the background. This was a growler, so the mouth is lacking a bit, but tons of pine and citrus. So well balanced. Very clean. So well executed. One of the best ipas I’ve had.

Poured from a swing top 750ml bottle. Pours a murky golden/copper color with lots of floaties. The head is thick and creamy. Aroma is tons of citrus and hops. Taste is lots of citrus and pine and sweet caramel malts. Wow, this is some tasty stuff. Very well balanced.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 jonno (2011) - JAPAN - APR 14, 2013
Growler. Smells like it is brewed with Nelson Sauvin - I get cat piss, big wine like notes and tropical fruit on the nose. Also some barnyard funk and feces. Same in the mouth with a thick, condensed body that is also twee in a way. Excellent.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20 jzaprala (7) - Exton, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 9, 2013 does not count
This beer has an orange color with large carbonation and medium head. A strong hops aroma with hints of a sweetness. Taste is well balanced crisp hops with citrus and sweetness...I want to say tangerine with dried apricot. This is a phenomenal DIPA, I only wish this was available in PA.

Sample at the brewery. This was surprisingly tame with regard the hops presence. I enjoy the gentile balance in Hill Farmstead beers but expected a but more to come from this.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20 kraddel (851) - deurne, BELGIUM - MAR 27, 2013
Thnx to urbancaver , my first frowler ever !!!
Thnx to bpost it took a full month to get here --’ keep that in mind for this rate ! Lets not wasre another day , this must be drank as fresh as possible !
Basicly a growler seems to be a 75 cl bottle with swingcap . In belgium , this is a bottle . We sell beer in it but do not re-use it .. New idea, belgium ???
Pours very light , i expected like amber coloured , this is fuzzy yellow ..
Rather big foam
Smell is bitter , but also fruity .
Very nice carbo ! The beer has held up very nice !
Fruity , bitter , kinda reminds at the bigger iipas ( heady) but presses me less , somehow .
Yet this is very balanced !
Very familiar taste though ..
Overall definatly a top iipa , but not THE best :-)
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Dfonorow (716) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAR 24, 2013
Pour is bright and hazy orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is of huge citrus hops (orange peel, tangerine, slight lemon), confectioners sugar, and a dull Earth malts. Taste is a huge rush of citrus and tropical hops with a sweet but subtle caramel malt flavor for balance. Finish and aftertaste is slight bitter, but again, incredibly well balanced. Very drinkable for the ABV, the booze doesn’t come through at all.

Growler. Thanks Adam. Potts hazy orange with a small creamy head and lacings. Crazy fruity hoppy aroma. Grapefruit and pineapple. Crisp and smooth with a long bitter finish. Breathtaking.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 ThirstyBird (418) - Düsseldorf, GERMANY - MAR 11, 2013
Putting in an old rating from 2010 - from a growler. Appears a brilliant cloudy peach color with an off white head that goes to a blanket. I get Simcoe on the nose, delicate hopping with nice sweet malt aroma. Taste is impressive. Starts with sweet light malt then the hops in the middle - fresh, light and bitter ending with a slightly dry aftertaste. Light body with mild soft carbonation.
