(Draft from Whole Foods) Bright copper body with a bid, foamy off-white head. Great floral, fruity hop aroma: grapefruit, orange, sweet, and very floral notes. Medium- to full-bodied, a little sticky. Alcohol is pretty evident, and it has a warming finish. Very bitter flavor; has grapefruit, rose, lemon, moderately sweet. Long, bitter finish.

Pours bright mango skin flesh orange with one finger of creamy yellowish head. Nose is rich and resinous, notes of grapefruit rind and apricot over a sweet malt character. Flavor is rich and a bit more bitter than i’d like. Not as dry as it should be. Grapefruit rind bitterness on the finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Orange peel and grapefruit peel aroma. Slightly hazy amber, medium cream colored head, good lacing. Powerfully bitter lemon zest initially. Grapefruit peel reveals itself at midpalate with a lesser degree of bitterness. Very very tinny. Somewhat resinous. Despite the detractors, Starr Hill went all in with the hops. Decent IIPA.

On tap at Duckworths. Pours clear golden orange with white head. Aromas of grapefruit, little bit of pine, some caramel, and hops. Flavors of grapefruit citrus, pine, caramel malts, and bitter hops. Carbonation is a little light, but finishes with bitter hops. Nice hops flavor, but mouthfeel is off.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma - nice floral aroma
Appearance - golden
Taste - fairly nice balance, but could use more character
Palate - a little fizzy at the brewery on tap - good bitterness
Overall - no a double IPA, but fair
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Galaxy Hut. Served in a pint glass.
Pours a nice golden-orange color with a two-finger white head and some pretty good lacing as it makes its way down the sides of the pint glass. The nose brings a pretty good amount of citrus hops with a bit of pine and resin. Definite strong hop component.
The flavor brings a very strong bitterness along with mild notes of grapefruit and orange, though those flavors aren’t as strong as would be predicted from the nose. A bit of light pine exists as well. The mouthfeel is medium with a good amount of bitterness and a moderately-dry finish. Drinks quite well and might be the best thing that I’ve had from Starr Hill.
Serving type: on-tap
