Bottle. Awesome pour, hazy golden amber color with a generous off white head, with a ton of lacing. Aroma is pine, citrus, floral. Flavor is more pine, floral, some malt. Palate is medium to full, with a sweet, resiny finish. This was really good!

Rated in a pub in Boise, ID so I just have my short notes from the PDA
Very fruity, mild citrus aroma
Cloudy orange-amber
Starts mildly sweet then robust fruit - peach, nectarine - finishing with citrus hop bite. Somewhat creamy, very drinkable.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle a hazy amber with a good off-white head. Aroma was dominated by the citrusy smell of hops. Once you get a good nose full the slight hint of malt comes out. Flavor starts out with a sweet caramel malt then the citrus hops smack your tastebuds. This would be a great session beer.

Pours a reddish-golden color with moderate head. Flavors of cherry, honey, pine, and citrus. Extremely well balanced, although not too bitter. Very good beer overall, though.

Pours a hazy brown orange with small particulates and a decent white head. The nose is really wonderful on this beer with big flowery and slightly fruity hops stretched over a smooth malt backbone. The aroma reminds me slightly of the DFH 90 Minute IPA, really nice. There’s a really pleasant foam and mouthfeel in general to this beer. Good texture. The bitterness is decidedly brutal! A well rounded caramel malt with light malt is quickly overshadowed by the big hops. Extremely flowery, kind of like an uber-Cascade. the bitterness just lingers on in an almost annoying, but still enjoyable way. One can also begin to detect the effects of alcohol over time. The flavor is something like a SNPA on steroids. I really enjoyed this. The addition of swirled yeast really mellow this beer out, especially the brutality of the bitterness, lending creaminess as well.

Bottle. Not that is a solid beer. I took a gulp of that and said to my wife without thinking, "I want to stick my face in this." In my opinion, its that good or maybe I was just really, really thirsty. Great looking murky, amber / copper color. Nice white head that stuck around. Great flavor with some citrus and maybe a touch of pine. Terrific hop flavor. Perfect feel in the mouth, beautiful body. Very solid - my full rec.

Bottle. I’d had this one before and forgotten to rate it. I’m glad I did, because I think reevaluating it helped me rate it better. Pours a perfect, opaque copper with a small but dense head. The aroma is of ameriacn yeast and some noble hops. Body is soft and highly carbonated. The flaver is overtly bitter and dry, just perfect for this type of beer. The hops are all in the punch though. I don’t get much in the way of aroma. Maybe a little back woods pine in the finish. The yeast quality shows perfect fermentation. These guys know what they are doing. Overall I’d say this is just about my favorite session beer, if you can call it that at 6.2%.
