Rating from 4 months ago; at Beachwood. Poured an orange/amber color with an off whitish colored head. Aroma of citrus, pine and fruit. Flavor was a bit subdued and actually quite balanced. Flavor was earthy and citrus, with some fruit and pine. Good.

Tap @ Small Bar. Pours a crystal clear golden yellow with a frothy white head, some spotty lacing. Big citrus and pine on the nose with some cereal grains and light caramel malts. Quite sticky on the palate with assertive hop bitterness.

Well named brew. It pours a bit cloudy and orange with a small orangy head. Lots of florals and citrus fruit in the aroma, some caramel sweetness in there as well. The flavor is super potent and fresh hoppy. You feel the bitterness all the way from start to finish. It’s a hop assault with a pretty good burn.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tap at the brewpub. Pours golden peach/amber with a four finger off-white ringy/clingy head. Huge fresh floral hoppy aroma. Full bodied with creamish carbonation. It’s very hoppy. First I thought resin; then I thought grapefruit. Then it was sort of floral. Definitely sort of hoppy. More than. The malt base is supportive, but fairly obliterated. This will stand up to just about any DIPA. Excellent.
