On tap at the brewery. Pours a slightly hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, slightly skunky. Taste is the same character with some citrusy notes. Citrusy hoppy bitterness aftertaste. Good one.

On tap. At the brewery. 7% Crystal clear light copper gold with a thin filmy off white head. Great piney c-hop aroma, very piney. Slightly rough mouthfeel but again it matches the style. The taste is an earthy herbal pine bark/sap/needles. Not bad it has an interesting variety of piney flavors/aromas..

Amber colour, not a lot of head, the aroma is faint for a beer billed specifically as dry-hopped. The taste is a bit caramel-forward with an earthy-piney hop balance. Ok, but I suppose I expected more hop. Further thoughts: over repeated samples this is easily their most variable product. When it’s on, it has a wonderful fresh hop character and probably rates 3.8 or so; but a couple of times now it’s been full of diacetyl and not even drinkable as a result. So definitely mixed feelings about this one.

Fruity, citrusy, well hopped; dry and lean, with a nice honey touch. Very good.

Hazy golden color with compact head. Light animal hop aroma. Lean body, highly carbonated; malt flavor, with a touch of caramel and toffee; very strong bitterness, resiny, just a bit fruity, not bright enough. In the end, the beer is good but a bit hard.
2013-12-24, draught at the brewery, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Golden color, clean, with compact small head. Nice aroma of hops, hop bag, very light animal touch. Lean body, dry mouthfeel; the malt flavor is quite good, with some toffee, and very light biscuity note; strong bitterness, with some bitter orange fruitiness and nice hop resins; long final.
Very good; the best offer here today.
