On tap at Burgatory. Fresh hoppy grassy nose with neutral fruit sweetness. Dark amber clear with thin white lacing head. Medium body with medium-heavy carbonation. Starts fairly dry with huge hop flavor and bitterness. Big bitter finish with alcohol warming and a bit of neutral fruity character. Big bitter after.

Very hoppy beer, medium body, okay taste, would prefer over domestic crap but won?t buy again

Draft at Mad mex monroeville. Pours orange with half an inch of white foam that leaves some lacing. Fairly big pine forest notes on the nose. Bigger hop presence on the tongue but there’s also malt for balance. Clean finisher. Very nice!

Draft at the brewery. Pours hazy amber. Nose of floral hops. Tastes bitter hops, grassy, a bit earthy. Dry finish. Very good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This poured a nice dark amber to red colorw ith a beige head. Aroma was lots of fruity and floral hops, with mild grain notes too. Flaovr was much the same, very fruity and lightly floral, reminded me a lot of Two Hearted on draft. Very good stuff and a promising start for this brewery.

On tap at Beermuda. Wonderful citrus aroma with small amount of pine notes. Poured amber in color with a nice head. The taste was similar to the smell. Citrus at first with a piney after taste. Good hops. Overall this was a good beer. Definately one I would try again

pour is a hazy copper with off white ring. The nose is very nice, extremely citrusy with loads of fresh oranges and a balance of syrupy pine light behind. The taste is much of the same. Big citrus, sticky pine, fresh meaty oranges, light bitterness. Feel is smooth, a hint oily, good carb, a touch syrupy mid palate. Very reminiscent of 2 hearted.

Copper color in the glass with a thin white head. Bright citrus and resiny hops. Potent bitterness, but with good sweet malt to balance. A great IPA.

Draft in a snifter. Helltown just won me over. Big hay hop scent over a light brown/amber pour with a foamy head that dissolved to film. The taste was a potent hay, grass hop with a big bitter finish. I took off some points for the one dimensional nature of the taste, but overall, I was very impressed with this local offering. Good beer in Pittsburgh!

On draft at Mad Mex Robinson. Poured clear orange with thick eggshell white head. Solid lacing. Piney, floral nose. Starts crisp then finishes with with bitter pine, citrus, and grassy notes. Reminiscent of Green Flash. Promising start from new local brewer.
