A bit thinner and lighter than last years. Still a lovely smooth drinker. Resiny. Tons of fresh pineapple and tropical fruit on the nose. Smooth.

Draught at Monk's: pours gold with white head. Pine and loads of citrus: much grapefruit and the like. Slight boozy notes, but they meld well. Somewhat bitter, a bit sweet. Undeiably well crafted. Glad I got it in a bar rather than waiting in line.
Bright, little bittersweet, fruity, fantastic. Love it. Pre-flight beers and lunch.
This year's variation was top tier! Excellent combo of crispness, pines, hops, and dankness
Looks unassuming. Thin white head, a bit orangey yellow, almost completely clear, low carbonation. Hoppy, fruity, softly bitter, a bit boozy. Sappy and piney, a bit grassy, some caramelly maltiness. Strong yet smooth, rich, finishes dry. Delicious.

On tap at Isaac Newton’s in Newtown, PA. 10.2% ABV. Finally, at long last, I have landed this legendary brew! Bright, honey gold pour. Brief white head reduces to a small ring. Fragrant, bold citrus aroma is redolent of tangerine, lime, grapefruit and apricot. Big and boozy, as expected. Clean and crisp throughout. Black pepper notes on the backend. Slightly sticky palate in the long, bitter finish. Amazing!
Clean, a smidgen of bitterness. Floral, fruity. A lovely, boozy nose. Just top drawer. Look forward to this every year! Glad I don’t have to venture to Monks in the city to get.
