Thanks, Philthy friend! Bright orange pour with modest earthy sediment and a billowy head. Nose is righteously hoppy, floral but not in the extreme, with plenty of dry complements. Massively flavorful but not excessively sweet. Like Sculpin, this beer’s a superb balance of dry bitter (but not leafy) and fruity flavors.

On tap at Tired Hands. Nose is really nice with tropical and citrus aromas. Really hop heavy. Flavor has a touch of malt in the background, along with a nice hop balance and complexity. Really drinkable.

Draft at the brew pub. Pours clear copper with a medium sized white head. The aroma has floral notes, pine, mild astringency, grapefruit, pear, so nice. The taste is medium bitter with a big grapefruit balance and a nice lingering sensation on the tongue.

Tasted from Growler. Poured a hazy amber color with an off white head. Pine, floral, some caramel, and toasty. Some earthiness.

Poured from a growler purchased at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber color with a white head and some lacing. Aroma is hoppy, citrus, grapefruit. Medium on the palate with soft carbonation. Flavor is sweet, bread, hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, some pine, with a light bitter finish. Very tasty.

On tap, Hazy amber-gold pour with medium bright white head and really nice lacing rings. Aromas and taste of peach, orange, pine all from the delicious hop lineup. Further notes of earthy grass, bitter pine and grapefruit. Somewhat dry and pretty bitter in the finish. I like this one but it was maybe a little too bitter. More of the fruits came out as she warmed which was the case with alot of the beers I tried that day.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2012 Draft at tired hands with Linh. Pours a hazy golden body with frothy white head & lacing. Aroma is fresh citrus hop, pine, juicy citrus fruits and a faint touch of funk in the back. Mouthfeel is medium to light, somewhat fluffy with notes of bitter grapefruit, fresh pine, light grass and oranges. Very tasty and sessionable.

Growler from TH. Pours clear golden yellow with nice head that fades. nose is cumquat, muscat grapes, juicy fruits, sweet malt, herbal qualities, lemon and rosemary. first sip less complex but still great with bright flavors of melon, papaya, honey, floral hops. finish is mild with piney & grapefruit notes. another great beer from TH.

Hazy amber color with a medium sized,off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, floral hops,light caramel, toast, and citrus fruits. Taste of citrus, grape, toast, pine, and a grapefruit finish.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2013 Medium golden-orange body, medium white head, decent streaks of lacing. Nose is mango, grapefruit, kiwi, and grapefruit notes are accented by some nice resinous bitterness. Flavor show a delicate juicy tropical fruit profile. Showcases the delicacy and complexity of the New Zealand hops. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, assertive but not oppressive bitterness. Up there with best Tired Hands IPAs.
