Can thanks to Toby! My old friend, you are always appreciated. Pours a clear copper mahogany hue with a medium white head. A big fruity hop nose. The flavor is dominant caramel and sugary sweet resin hops. Candied pine hops. Sweet. But loads of bitterness in the finish. Pretty darn nice. Big.

On Tap at the Hoptober Freshtival. Murky is right. Nice fresh juicy hop flavor and aroma. Lots of swet citrusy flavors. Quite a vit of sediment/at the bottom. Thats good for you right?!

12 oz can courtesy of IP trade.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a semi-clear bronzed brown color with a one finger white foamy head quickly dissipated leaving a messy sticky lacing.
The smell was a fresh oily/resinous outlet of pine, somewhat glossed over fresh green onion.
The taste took all of those previously mentioned flavors to hot resin town. I dig the burn coming across in the aftertaste. There’s a dry resinous finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with the hotness coming back to capture my taste buds and hold captive in a strong bitter way.
Overall, what I really like about this one is how the bitterness comes out in a hot sort of way on the palate yet it’s tamed in the taste. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to try this and would definitely bang this again.

From the firkin at the Hoptober Freshtival. Murky copper color and lots of sticky lacing. Mellow hoppy aroma, stronger taste. Smooth for the high abv.

Tap at Sockeye. Dark golden pour, somewhat amber, topped with a large sandy head. Lots of sheet lacing. The nose is floral, herbal, and earthy. About what I’d expect for a fresh hop dipa. Taste is quite good... Floral, herbal, and something that reminds me of tea leaves. Rich and pungent hops. Solid effort in the fresh hop space.
