Acquired in a trade. Big thanks to Adam for this one. Growler at home with my dad. Poured a hazy, golden orange with a frothy off-white head. Smells of flowers, grapefruit peel, tropical fruits, grass, and pine. Taste is big tropical fruits, tangerine, sweet oranges, grapefruit, mango, grass, and weed. Medium mouthfel with medium carbonation. Very well-balanced and a treat to drink I am looking forward to trying more HF beers.

Growler into tulip. Very hazy gold. Small white head that recedes quickly. Aroma is pine, grass, little floral, little tropical, a little citrus and a dash of malt. Flavor is pine, resin, citrus zest (somewhat pithy) mixed tropical fruit and the malt is just there to add to the complexity. Good bitterness. Super drinkable. This is a top notch IIPA, however it is also my least favorite from Hillfarmstead. I really love how some of Hillfarmstead’s worst IPA/IIPA’s are still the best that money can buy!

Growler thanks to Kevin! Pours a near clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has an outstanding combination of slightly sweet citrus with slightly bitter pine backed by grass and just a hint of grain. Flavor has citrus up front that transitions to grapefruit and pine with a hint of onion backed by light grain.

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Hazy apricot colored pour with a mountainous white frothy head. Huge citrus and stone fruits in the nose combine with earthy dankness and resinous citrus rind. Apricot, mandarin, orange, peach, and a hint of scallion come through in the flavor, finishing with sappy dankness. A great blending of two great hop profiles make this beer very interesting after trying the constitutive base beers. Easily as tasty as either of the aforementioned brews. Great body with pillowy effervescence and a dry sappy finish. Loved it!

Growler (750 ml) brought back earlier in the day from Hill Farmstead. Hazy pale orange with a small head and some lacing. Aroma of tropical fruits (citra?) and pine. There’s also some bubblegum and malt notes. Taste of tropical fruits and pine. Sticky bitterness. Medium body. A very good DIPA!
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Another great DIPA here. Aroma was slightly strange and off putting at first but I kind of got used to it. Hits you with tropical fruits, pine, dank, onion, garlic. Taste however is very nice and very tropical fruity with a nice sweetness that is welcomed in such a hoppy bitter beer. Great work again.
4.2 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 19/20
Growler filled today, similar to ss3. Huge sticky flavors. Tons of tropical and citrus flavors
