Deutlich fruchtiger, dann bitterer Antrunk. Der Hopfen lässt dann nach, passend trocken. Zum Ende wieder hopfiger, deutlich aber passend bitter. Gelungen! 10/11/11/9/9/10

Can from the brewery shared by MrBarleywine, thanks for the hookup Mike! Huge resinous dank pine aromas with specks of fruitiness and grains of bread. Damn that smells incredible. Light golden color with a huge fluffy beige head that persists and stickies everything in sight. Big peach tropical pine resinous earthy hop flavors. Faint bready maltiness deep underneath. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation with a resinous bubbly mouthfeel. Wow another great DIPA from Vt what the hell is going up there? I’m just glad I’m close enough to occasionally enjoy some.

Can thanks to Will. Pours a cloudy orange with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong pine, citrus, and floral. Medium mouthfeel with nice pine, grapefruit, and light bitterness, well balanced, very nice.

From the July 2014 3R6P gathering. +++ Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a hazy dark apricot color with a medium sized foamy white head that faded quickly and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was pine, citrus and green onion. The flavor was bitter pine, citrus, green onion and a bit of catbox. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.

500 ml. can sampled @ RBBSG III. Thanks to thirstybird! Golden with creamy white ehad. Nose is a big punch of smotth slightly fruity hops, tropical fruits, mildly bitter & citrus. Taste is big pine & exotic hops, pineapple, touch white bread, peach, orange. Touch higher carbonation, easy to drink. Not unique or anything but a very enjoyable way to get your hop-fix if that is your thing.

Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and airy and a little dry. Fine carbonation. Smooth light malt. Good resinous fresh orange hops. Light hop spice and a touch of mango. Light finish with a good bitter linger. Good stuff.
