December 2014. Growler big thanks to Leighton. It pours hazy gold with a a decent white head. The nose is soft, sweet, juicy, tangerine, sherbet, sweet orange, straw and light earth. The taste is crisp, bitter, super juicy, orange, tangerine, pomelo, earth, grass, minerals, straw, light alcohol and pepper with a dry, fruity finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Well rounded and particularly drinkable. 4. Revisit in May 6th 2022 in a 500ml can. Exceptionally fresh and vibrant. Lovely orangey citrus fruits. Exquisite and incredibly drinkable.4.3

Growler from the brewery. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. Nice aroma with rich grapefruit notes. Medium sweet flavor, more juicy grapefruit, melon, pale bread. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Juicy, resinius finish with more grapefruit, mandarin orange, lemon. Nicely dank. Delicious.

Growler: Poured a hazy blonde color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of tropical fruit is quite powerful with some nice apricot notes. Taste is also dominated by some huge notes of tropical fruit with some nice apricot notes with also some nice citrus notes. Body is full enough for style with good carbonation. Dominant floral hoppy notes makes for this a great treat.

Fliptop growler received in trade. Bottle filled 10 days ago and stored in fridge while not traveling. No leakage detected. Pours vibrant hazy and sparkling orangish yellow with a rather small frothy white head that leaves some sticky lacing and trace on the glass while slowly dissipating. Smell is very fruity, tiny earth, slightly herbal and bursting with fresh hop aroma with crackers, pink grapefruit juice, freshly cut grass, lemon grass, pine needles, water melon rinds, pineapple, passionfruit, honeydew melon, almost overripe mango and hints of diesel fuel, alcohol and chives. Taste is tiny sweet, slightly bitter, fruity and herbal with crackers, fresh white bread, pink grapefruit juice, freshly cut grass, pineapple, mango, grapefruit rinds, watermelon rinds, diesel fuel, lemon zest, orange zest and hints of alcohol and chives. Mouthfeel is round, slightly dry, slightly astringent, tiny boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is bitter and fruity with crackers, pink grapefruit juice, honeydew melon, watermelon rinds, orange zest, lemon zest, freshly cut grass, pine needles, lemon grass, pineapple, mango and hints of alcohol. The chives and diesel disappear almost completely as the beer warms. Very very tasty fruity IIPA. Top notch stuff!

A hazed blonde DIPA with a thin white head. In aroma, beautiful citrusy pulp and floral hops, biscuit malt, very nice yet simple. In mouth, a good grapefruit pulp and biscuit malt, floral and citrusy hops, smooth and quaffable. Growler from Ian Guenard.

Growler: Lemon zest aroma. Hazy golden, thin head. Lilly dominated flavor. Lemon zest and grapefruit present on the back end. Crisp, bitter, and tasty, but not really deserving of the hype, at least not this sample.

From a 750mL growler. Aroma is pretty much all hops with only some faint cracker malt character. Hops are very fruity with lots of citrus and tropical fruit with a bit of a vinous character. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a pillowy white head. Light lacing and medium low legs. Flavor is very hop forward with some light biscuit and cracker malt character. The hops are very vinous with moderate tropical fruit notes and some light citrus but the citrus is fainter. The bitterness is high but clean. Moderately dry. Slight alcohol spice in the finish. Tastes a bit less than perfectly fresh. Mouthfeel is medium bodies with medium low carbonation. Astringency is low and only due to the hops. Alcohol warmth is medium low. Overall a good beer, but it's not as fresh as it could be. Fairly dry and a great example of Mosaic hops. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Chilled 75 cl flip-top growler, brought to the tasting by Josh, poured into a sample glass in a three side by side blind. Pours golden with medium white head. Taste is nice slightly spicy grapefruit. Medium body, medium carbonation, and aroma is lighter hops. My favorite of the three, but the aroma is light and the taste is pretty good.
