Draught @ Beer Run (12/23/19). Looks like orange juice, extremely hazy and high density, very small frothy off-white head, orange-mango-pineapple aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter orange-mango-pineapple taste with faint peach flavor, smooth body, long medium bitter finish, a bit of alcohol bite at the end. The alcohol escapes a bit.

Can shared with Chalumeaux, thanks TJ! Fresh 14 day old can. Aroma has slight floral, mild pepper, mild herbal. This hop variety is certainly interesting. Kind of like the kitchen sink; citrus, herbs, floral, and maybe tropical fruit when warm. Maybe in a growler it is better.

Powerful tasting at Salesforce, can
Cloudy blond colour. Pungent fruit, like nothing I had in a long time, passion fruit, tropical, extreme, juicy, with crisp and leand malt base, and citrus peel dominance in the finish.
Wonderful

12 oz. can, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma is beautifully fragrant, full of grassy hops, tangy citrus, light pine, and biscuity malt. Flavour is loaded with grassy hops, a lovely tanginess, crisp pine, and biscuity malt. Grassy and piney, with a crisp biscuity finish. Excellent.

Leafy green and almost minty notes. Murky yellow with a small white head. Herbal and very leafy with a long fun finish. Neat.

Cloudy orange beer, big creamy irregular aery off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very dank, spicy, marijuana, mint, onion, bit metallic, diesel, bit fruity, very intense smell! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet and malty touch up front, very herbal, pretty bitter, resinous, some thyme, sweet touch. Aftertaste: dry, soft bitterness, spicy, nice! Very original hops, I like 'm!

Awesome beer. Great ok ey aroma. Grapefruit peel. Has more body and more flavour still than many of the NEIPA immitators. Light bitter end. Murky yellow pour with great head and lacing. Tap at Churchkey.
