Far away across the field there is a hazy golden IIPA bursting with sweet orange juice and apricot aroma, tinged with a tropical twist, that will take you home home again.

Bottle shared at the JK Tasting - Craft Beer Co., Islington. Many thanks to Dr. Sandman! Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds light dank hops, ripening citrus, pine. Medium sweet flavour, nice and resinous, good and dank, juicy, with notes of melon and papaya, and lightly bitter overall. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Resinous and warming on the finish, with more juicy tropical fruits, melon, mango. Lovely stuff.

Pours hazy deep gold into a snifter. White head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Sourdough and resin aromas. Soft with sourdough, dark caramel and resin frot to back turning to dry, mild earthy pine in the medium length finish.

500 ml bottle, thanks to T.J. Fresh bottling date of 13 July, 2016. Hazy golden color. lacing. Nose is lightly dank, white grape, old grass clippings. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with an almost juicy white grape essence. The bitterness is assertive grassy bitterness that lingers well after the sip. Gosh these Brewers got the the North East IPA’s down pat. Another solid DIPA. Tits!

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a soft burnt hazy brisk orange color with a fairly quick dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at an even pace. There wasn’t any lacing.
The smell started off with some agressive sweet danky onion, sly sweet grass and a soft malt to blend nicely.
The taste was mainly the same with an equaling bitterness from the hops. Aftertaste and finish seem to be the same sort of sweet to bitter hoppiness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionable to dry sipping sort of feel on my tongue. Carbonation seems to be a tad higher than expected, not bad, not overbearing, but noticeable enough.
Overall, aroma and flavor is key in this one, for the most part, that’s what taking this beer to the extreme. I’d definitely have again!

Draught @ Sunswick 35/35. Hazy bright orange with very small frothy whitish head, floral hops aroma, medium carbonation, lightly bitter orange peel taste with some mango, thickish body, long floral hoppy finish. Very flavorful.
