Hazy amber color with frothy ivory foam. Very nice floral, fruity, pine cone hoppy aromas. Smooth light mouthfeel. Lightly sweet caramel, rye bread flavors with floral pine fruity hops--well balanced --- not a hop bomb.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a slightly dark rusty burnt orange with a mountain of beige foam that just won’t quit. Aroma of orange juice, pine, lemon, and big "leafiness" with little trace of malt making itself known. Flavor is incredibly dry with similar citrus, piney and astringent hop characteristics and maybe a bit of spice and bread crust from the malt/rye. Finishes with a better mix of earth, toast, and citrus. Medium bodied, big fluffy foamy mouthfeel, and no heat to speak of. It’s an interesting beer with good strong hops that I’m sure will please the people demanding a dry IPA, but I want a bit more malt.

Had this on tap at Alamo Drafthouse: Lakecreek. Good hop nose, bit of pine. Nice medium malt body, but slightly sweet palate. Very enjoyable, good with the panko crusted Goat cheese salad.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Towering, light beige stable head over fully hazy foxy-amber beer; fine lace. Already upon opening, powerful fruity hops wafting up, citrussy & exotic fruitlike (passion fruit, lytchee, rosewater and of course grapefruit). Pure lupulin smell. Bitter, but nowhere exaggerated. Citrussy flavour with cakey maltbacking or kletskoppen . Very classical, but all the same quite satisfying. Rather light bodied, slick. Lupulin induced sticky bitterness remains throughout, but yet the beer comes over as primarily fruity-sweet. Very nice, extremely aromatic IPA, if a tad sweet. Many thanks to the Dewberries!

Bottle shared with some buddies. Hoppy aroma with subtle hints of rye, not a lot, but it’s there. Earthy flavor, piney and malty. Seemed a little boozier then I thought, but I guess that’s the rye talking.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Light brown pour from bottle with an off white head. Aroma is strawberry jam and rye. Taste is hops, citrus, fruit and hay. Complex, interesting and excellent.

Thanks to wagenvolks for getting a fresh bottle of this out my way. Served in a Captain Lawrence tulip.
Pours a medium golden color with a tall, tall white head. Good stability and retention time, and then really great lacing as it falls down. The nose brings some light caramel with a bit of floral and citrus character. Light hops, but what’s there is nice. The taste is similar but pulls back further. There’s some floral notes and a bit of light spice on top of a bready body. Medium body and a nice bitter and spicy finish. Not super awesome, but glad to try this.
