On tap @ Warpigs. Looks like a murky mess. Yellow honey mixed-up with milk and a small islandy floating white top. On the nose it's really tropical and almost mango sweety. Fresh squeezed lime peel. Mango puree and a good peach sweetness. Smell really good. Tastes really good also. Again, tropical mango and fresh fruits. It's well bodied, almost thick in the mouth and with a blow average prickling carbonation level. A little hop minty and it's really trying to dry the mouth. Loaded with the hops this, tasty stuff! 11.05.2017

Nice slightly fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head, very hazy. Aroma is fresh citrusy, tropical juice, citrus peel, lawn, light malts, oatmeal, moss, fresh hops, leafs, hay, mango. Taste is slightly dry and fresh grassy, leafs, fresh hops, light malts, minerals, moss, lawn, hop pellets, citrus peel, tropical juice, oatmeal, hay. Medium to longlasting bitterness, slightly dry hoppy mouthfeel. Very nice, you can feel the hops bite your palate.

Can at home. Hazy lemony orange pour with a thin off-white head. Notes of citra hops, citrus, herbal hops, mango, melon, papaya, light grapefruit bitterness, floral, fruity, lightly herbal, lime, passion fruit, very subtle pine resin, light dankness. Very little bitterness in this beer, it’s just light-sweet aromatic hops. Medium body, juicy mouthfeel, medium to light carbonation and a crazy hop finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Alien Church on 12 Apr 2017 at 15:34 - Score: 9

Draught at the Fermenteria, 8/27/16.
Lovely, heavily hazy/soupy golden-maize body is topped by a thick, white head.
Beautifully juicy mosaic in the nose is augmented by lemon and light spice from the citra/chinook. Big tropical fruit flavors mix with light base malt sweetness to produce an enveloping, lush, green nose that is soft and full of awesome hop aromatics sans resin. No alcohol or flaw.
Reminds me a lot of double melcher street from Trillium, where it is almost too sweet and malty, with the garlic/onion mosaic character being hidden nicely here by the spicy chinook and lemony-sweat of the citra. Incredibly soft, malty, wheat-laden texture with fine carbonation and lingering guava, papaya, mango and pineapple. No alcohol or flaw. Right up there with the best NE IPA producers!

32 oz. Growler filled at the Fermentria on 8/20/2016. Color is a hazy bright gold with foamy, lasting white head. The aroma is huge grassy and tropical fruit nose, gets lots of grass.
Flavor shows a heavy influence of Mosiac hops. The fruit is here from Citra but heavy grass and pine. The finish of the sip shows mild resin. Carbonation is slightly high with a juicy texture. This is what everybody is brewing and a complex mix of fruit, grass, and pine. I finished the entire growler myself without an issue. Incredible drinkable character.

Draft into a snifter showing cloudy yellow and a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows heavy malt with adequate notes of kiwi and cannabis. The palate is fully bodied and lightly carbonated. Flavors of light pine resin throughout with flavors of kiwi. Barely any bitterness on the finish. Not bad!
