Keg at Proletariat. Pours murky yellow egg white with a thin white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, biscuit and pine dankness. Taste is really light and juicy tropical fruits with a spicy and drying hoppy spicy dankness to close out. Top drawer IPA

Matt’s hunt; "best consumed by May 25 2017"
Murky blond color. Wonderful hop aroma: pungent, tropical, a bit musky. Good body strength; crackery malt base, and strong resiny hopping. Very strong bitterness.
Excellent.

Draught at the brewery, 5/26 and a growler filled 5/26 and drunk 5/31/17.
Thoroughly hazy, though not cloudy/soupy, brassy-gold with a full, white head that shows moderately-strong retention.
Really fruity and juicy and despite my slight distaste for Simcoe lately, this one doesn’t bring the resin or heavy grapefruit. Of course, that’s all thanks to the well-brewed nature of Shaun’s beers. The Nelson and Riwaka add plentiful tropical character though it’s not quite as dry and heavily wine/grape/mineral-forward as many Nelson ipas, obviously the integration of the hops changing the character that is presented. Deep, green, even heavily lush and spicy hop notes are charmingly fresh and there is a good backing of honey-like maltiness with no alcohol and a touch of pine on the finish.
Soft and juicy but with a strong dryness and some subtle/understated mineral character from the Nelson. Green, poignant, grapefruit-leaning Simcoe notes add mild-to-moderate bitterness with tons of juicy nectarine, lime and light mango follow through to the finish. There’s just a touch of resinous pine/grapefruit on the very end, but as usual, this is top-notch stuff with high attenuation, tight carbonation and a supple, malty texture.

Very cloudy it’s a very yellow beer. this is a 75CL growler.. It was a bit warm in transit all of the way here to belgium. Smells great. west coast IPA sort of aroma with piney juiciness. Mouthfeel is good, thins out toward the end but it’s a nice overall mouthfeel.
