Commercial Description:
Weighing in at approximately 10% abv, this beer is almost too smooth for its own good...Plenty of hop in the nose and mouth, but enough malt to make it scarily drinkable.

Draft: Poured an amber color, not too much head. The aroma was sweet hops, lots of them. The flavor was piney and slightly citrusy. Overall, very hoppy and very smooth. A good DIPA.

On tap at the brewpub ahead of the Flyers’ game 4 W over Les Habs. Poured a full amber to copper type color, decent head, weak lacing. The aroma was piney grapefrults, sweet fruity caramel malts. The flavor followed suite, the alcohool was a little sharp, the malts a little sticky (reminded me of DFH90, but not nearly as exciting). Mouthfeel was average in body, a little too much stickiness left behind. The best of the three that I ran at NH before heading over to Monk’s. Too bad these clowns didn’t really have the Berliner Weisse on draft like their website said.

On tap at brewery. Pours a light amber with a off-white head. Aroma of citrus hops, pine and grass. Flavor of caramel, citrus, grapefruit and pine with a nice hop bitterness.

Hand pulled tap @ Nodding Head. Poured a clear clear amber color with an off-white head. Citrusy and fresh C hop aroma. Caramel starts the flavor the C hops take over. This morphs from citrus to grapefruit rind bitterness. The finish was long with a medium body.
