This single hop IPA showcases the rare Nelson Sauvin hop from New Zealand. Delightfully confusing aromas of citrus and mandarin oranges give way to an incredibly complex body of earth tones and marigolds. This is truly unlike any hop you’ve ever tasted.

Bottle: Pours a golden honey color with a thin ring of creamy off-white head. I like the aromatics; a citrus and tropical fruit blend with floral and spicy herbal notes. Flavor is more herbal and spicy floral hops. Something in the tail hints at peanut butter. A decent flavor, but the aroma is so good... overall not too shabby for my first TG brew.

Poured a clear, golden yellow, with middling head. Aroma of fruit and cat pee. Flavor is a touch chemically, with citrus, some sweetness, lots of floral hops. Really nice IPA.

Bottle thanks to Minh. Pours a cloudy gold with a small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong floral hop, pine, hemp. Medium mouth, light pine, light resin, clean finish. Very nice.

Bottle [from trade with mista] @ Kings Day Tasting 2014 shared with Dutchdrebus. Pretty hazy light orange color, full sized a bit rocky off-white head that lasts for quite some time. Aroma is malts, hops, citrus, some tropical fruits. Hops and fruitiness get more prominent after the beer warms up a bit. Taste malts, nicely hoppy and fruity. The fruit hops flow into in very nice suitable not over the top bitterness in the finish which makes the beer very enjoyable. Still I feel the beer should have a bit more alcohol, for instance 7%, to give it a bit more body. Aroma and flavorwise it’s certainly an IPA, but the body imo is just a little shy of what it should be. Nevertheless this is a very enjoyable beer!

Bottle shared at RBWG 2014 Late Night tasting - Asheville. Pours clear gold with a white foam head. Big, dank aroma with piss, pine and grapefruit. Medium sweet flavor with moderate pale malt sugars, rich urine, orange, pine needles. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet and dank on the finish with rich pale malts, pine, grapefruit. Hefty, ballsy, still nicely balanced, delicious.
