3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from the Co-Op in Davis, CA. Pours orange/gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is floral/fruity/peach. Medium body with loose, not sharp, carbonation. Flavor is lots of hop over a little malt. It’s soft floral and fruit hop. Bitter, but not harshly so. Very pleasant beer.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours an apricot color with a textbook creamy Belgian style head that sits there finally reducing to a clump of cream. Smells of fresh snappy yellow citrus and malty sweetness. Medium full nectar with mild effers creating a creamy mouthfeel. Only thing about this is the carbonation deteriorates as the brew warms leaving it a bit flat. Perfect hop essence balanced by a juicy malt backbone. Fresh and spicy with a lingering thorny finish. I am impressed. Good work guys!
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours golden orange with an off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma is apricot, fresh skunky hop cones, fresh-cut flowers (buttercups?). Flavor is pomelo and pine with a hint of honey. Finish is mildly bitter with a light hop-oil character. A little light for my liking, but otherwise fresh and very palatable.

( 12oz bottle thanks to Swalden28) Pours clear yellow with nice oily bubbles. Nose of bright pine hops, orange zest. Taste of lightly bitter pine hops, astringent qualities. This beer has a palate that just cleanses you with the hops. Not bad.
