Matt’s hunt; "best consumed by May 25 2017"
Murky blond color. Huge smell of hops: piney, pungent, musk, some tropical fruit, farts. Lean yet strong body; pale malts base, and juicy and resiny hops on top, orange peel and more resins in the final, mildly astringent later.
Wonderful.

750ml growler shared at Brians office. Pours a cloudy blonde with a white head. Aroma is quite dirty, dank, and sweet with tropical fruits notes. Taste is similar. Good stuff.

Growler, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike!), pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out tangy citrus hops, dank piney hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour has almost a sprucey character upfront, with lots of dank piney hops, light citrus, and biscuity malt. Bright and vibrant, with loads of piney hops. Delicious.

Growler - Big fresh citrus and tropical notes. Cloudy gold yellow with a small white head. Bright citrus, peel and a nice finish. Very easy drinking for a double IPA. Nice.

Draft at As Is. Murky pour with a white head and solid lace. Nice tropical hop aroma, bright, grassy, some rind. Dry and a little herbal. Juicy. A little sweet. Clean and super drinkable. Delicious.

Draught at Parker Pie, 1/19/17.
Thoroughly hazy, bright, fiery orange-golden body is topped by a medium-sized, off-white head showing moderately strong retention.
Nose is understated and comes on very slowly, but definitely crescendos in to a burst of pineapple, fresh grass, lemon pulp and soft nectarine/kiwi. It’s "fuzzy" if you will, in the nose, with light cracker and biscuit tickling as it mixes with the ultra-dry citrus and very light pulpy-juicy character. Lots of mineral/house character on the end, with just a touch of white wine and woodiness, very light resin/grapefruit and no alcohol or flaw.
Flavor-wise, it’s on par with the nose, being very light, very dry and quite biscuity. Not as much juice as usual, from the series, though it still has its moments, with lots of nelson funkiness, interesting earthier and grassy notes and lots of wood and citrus. It’s very interesting to see the interplay of these three rather eccentric hops. Everything seems in good condition here. There’s a touch of perfumey, sharp, resinous character that is probably exposed due to the very strong attenuation and overall dry character of the beer, but otherwise, another killer DIPA from HF.
