Just after opening our brewery, working long nights, weekends, and still working our day jobs, my brother Daniel (the brewer) had twins. Cheers to his courage and dedication to making better beer.

A minimalist white head but a stupendous grapefruit, pineapple, fruit rind and sweet malt nose. The taste is significantly more understated with a nice array of hop flavours - tropical fruit such as kiwi, peaches, and orange. Solid bready sweet malt backbone. Taste falls away pretty quickly, though.

Draft from the Jeffrey. Orangey pour. Serious head with piney hops aroma. Finishes pretty clean. An enjoyable apa.

Incredible fuity,juicy hop aroma. Every type of citrus under the sun with some floral honey, and fresh stone fruit. Perfect carb and mouthfeel. The finish is of a medium bitterness, with some resinous pine poking through the hoppy, candied sweetness. Unbelievably drinkable, damn near perfection.

Draft at La Cucina. Pale golden pour, cloudy, slight white head. Citrusy aroma, piney, hoppy. Similar to the Woods & Water, a nice balance of grapefruit and pine, softt, light lingering bitterness.

Amber color, pine resin aroma. Flavor matches the aroma, a little sweet malt followed by a bitter citrus finish.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow pour with a big sudsy white head that has decent retention. The aroma is medium in strength with pine and citrus. The taste is bitter hops forward with hops that are both piney and citrusy. The malt base is distinctly bready and works well with the hops. The palate is very full--almost chewy. Finishes long and dry with lingering pine resins. Overall: Top shelf APA

Pours a slightly hazy, golden peach color, with mid-sized head. Aroma is strong citrus and some pine-hops. Flavor is citrus, pine, some breadiness. Very smooth. Moderately bitter finish. Crisp mouthfeel. Good stuff...
