Can from Brew Export Advent Calendar. Hazy orange juice of appearance. Thin white head is short-lived. Aroma has sweet orange with a herbal and vinous edge. Flavourwise it's bitter with an underlying sugary sweetness. Stone fruit. Citrus. Herbs and a vinous streak in the former facet. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Easy going TRIPA that still has some character.

Appearance is cloudy orange, with a clingy foamy off-white head. Aroma is pithy fruit, hop resin, mango, papaya, grapefruit. Taste is grapefruit, orange, pine hints, hop resin, mango and tropical fruit, papaya, very fruit-forward. Sweet but a tinge of bitterness. Abv very well-hidden.

Packaged Oct. 20. Piney and resiny hop bitterness right on the nose. Pouring reveals a very cloudy gold beer, and kicks up an additional pineapple smell past its sudsy head. Tasting is, or course, full of exotic hop taste: resiny and there's that pineapple juice. And somehow, there's a "bite" as it passes my tongue and into my throat.
I think I'd need to sample several Hip Butcher IPAs at once so I can get to know its house style and its variations.
