22 oz. bottle from On the Vine, in Exeter, NH. Aroma was of piney and grapefruit hops with some pale malts. Taste of grapefruit/ citrus, malt and pine bitterness in the finish. The resin is a bit much for me as it warms but the redeeming quality is; it has large amounts of bready malt. Malt giving a nice medium body without being heavy. Overall this is a nice highly hopped APA.

Bottle thanks to Jcwattsrugger Pours apricot amber. Bone white head. Nose/taste of fresh pineapple, grapefruit, resin, malt and pine. Finishes slightly dry tree sap/pine. Lots of fresh pineapple and grapefruit in the nose and on the palate. Medium body.

Pours a cloudy golden yellow color with a huge fluffy white head that persists forever and leaves lots of stickies on the way down. Smells of lemon, grapefruit., resin and pine. There’s a little bit of bready malt deep underneath to provide some illusion of balance. Lots of hop flavor but a hint on the harsh side. Lemony grapefruit dominate the flavor with an almost pith like flavor. Hints of bread and pine round out the flavor nicely. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a tart resinous mouthfeel. This is a nice hoppy beer, maybe a bit one dimensional, but flavorful and easy to drink.
