Draft at Good Beer, 2/5/16. Aroma crosses through all the hop tropes, with tropical notes, pine/resin, spice, earth, and even a hint of grass. Flavor is much the same, solidly bitter. It is slightly heavy on the carbonation but has a pretty good overall mouthfeel. Not the best thing I've ever had from Hill Farmstead, but still pretty stellar.

On tap at Hill Farmstead. A yellow-orange colored beer topped by a creamy, off-white head of fingerthick size. Grapefruity aroma with resins and a touch of pale malts. Perhaps a bit low on bitterness, but with a good grapefruity, resiny hoppy flavor on a lightly bready malt backdrop. Medium to full body and a nice carbonation level. Mostly fruity lasting finish. Quenching and quite tasteful. 150610

From a growler, picked up at the brewery. Murky gold. Messy, sticky, milky white head. Big fresh hop to this. Notes of peach. Tinned pear. Lychee. Soft, creamy malts. Very luscious. Taste has a nice balance of juicy sweetness and light, pithy bitterness. Creamy palate. Has definite body to it. Soft chew. Finishes long, soft, rising bitter. Lovely.

Had to have another quick brew once I saw this was on tap at Bacchus. Cloudy orange pour with nose of citrus and dank hops. Tastes of grapefruit rind, resinous hops, peach, floral, slightly herbal. Sticky fun palate. Very bitter amd delightful.

Draught @ John Brown Smokehouse. Hazy dark orange with medium sized spongy white head, floral hops aroma, low carbonation, very well balanced hoppy taste that starts sweetish, medium hoppy finish. Incredibly well balanced hoppiness.

On tap at Growler Garage.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy bronzed orange color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that dissipated within less than a minute leaving some messy lacing.
The smell started off with some sweet peach, light apricots, light pine blend bittersweet and sound off together really nicely.
The taste was bittersweet all of the way through in the previously mentioned flavors running into a nice semi-sweet to bitter citrus aftertaste.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice bittersweet feel on my tongue. Sessionable enough to want to have with food.
Overall, I’d have this again. Its pretty good.

Bottle sample @ The Stein & Vine, Brandon. Thanks Ty! Dorée-orangée, pas de col. Arôme offre une superbe profondeur des houblons, fleuri à souhait, résineux, rappelant un Simcoe et Amarillo. Malt reste en retrait. Palais est malté léger, sur un houblonné vert très frais avec un renforcement houblonné rappelant les pellettes. Houblonnage à cru? fini est sec légèrement poudreux, et les houblons sont tous simplement divin.
