Let's take Nugget and double it. Well, it wasn't quite that easy, but it sure was a fun balancing act. To start, we boosted the Simcoe, and this complex hop's notes of apricot, peach rings and bright citrus are the star of the show. Azacca enters the picture to add hints of juicy orchard fruit, and Munich malt brings a bready sweetness. To strike a balancing note, Columbus joins Nugget hops, grounding this limited release with a layer of dank pine.

Red caramel with a large fluffy head that lingered. Sweetish with pine, perfume and a bit of butter. Long finish. Medium body.

Happy to get to try this after it was sold out at my first attempt. Fine burnt orange brew and fairly clear colored with a decent sized noggin. Nose is malt and pine. Tastes of pine, apricot, peach, malty, fruit punch gum. Medium bodied hint of chewiness. Lingering fruit and hint of boozy warming.

Can from Harvest. Pours a mostly clear copper amber with a full two fingers of fluffy, beige head that lingers. Nice lacing down the glass. Grapefruit, toasted caramel, warming alcohol and rooibos tea aromas. More of the same on the palate with grapefruit, orange and pine along with more rooibos underneath. Silky smooth with a soft mouthfeel. Lingering bitterness and warming alcohol.

Pours deep garnet into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. White pez, apricot, peach, resin and weed aromas. Thick with earthy sweet caramel and pine front to back. Lasting earthy pine finish.

16 ounce can. Reddish amber color. Frothy, bone colored head. Clinging lace. Toasted malt aroma has herbal, piney notes. Big, bittersweet, toasted malt flavor rings of dank, resiny hops. Warming alcohol comes through in middle, but the intense hop flavors dominate from start to finish. A hop lovers dream!

This is pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. Tad malty, piney, and fruity. As it warms there’s notes of apricot and peach. Kind of dank too. Excellent beer.
