From the windswept hills of PA comes Handsome Bull,a bold and full bodied farm-crafted Double India Pale Ale. Our brewmaster took the bulls by the horns and corralled some of the rarest and most sought after hops -Mosaic, Citra, Mandarina Bavaria,Waimea, and Calypso. These hops create the layers of the ale’s intense tropical flavors. Oats and wheat are added to tame Handsome Bull allowing his hops to shine through. Pound for pound, the most full bodied flavor on our farm. Handsome Bull is brewed and named in the spirit of Earl Groff, Grandfather and life-long cattle breeder!

Pineapple, orange, biscuit malt, pine, and grapefruit peel aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow with moderate off white head. Moderately sweet citrus, biscuit malt, and strong bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Good body and balance. Solid.

Sig Tau colored baby blue can. Smell is volatile thick rich viscous IPA hops. Eye of thicker hazy beer. Taste is at first a little floral then the ipa resin sets in. Thick rich IPA, just like the smell, whew, so freaking rude so in yer face. Yes a big mess of new england style thick IPA.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/5/2018. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, light/pepper pine, honey, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, light/pepper pine, honey, toasted biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, light/pepper pine, honey, toasted biscuit, light caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness/spicy alcohol. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Mildly increasing warmth of 8.3% after the finish. Overall this is an awesome DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Great soft feel. Great Mosaic, Citra, Mandarina Bavaria, Waimea, Calypso profile. Extremely juicy and lightly dank/earthy hops; nice sized bready malt backbone, not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a dark honey color with a huge creamy yellow-white head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was musty and earthy with pine, cactus and citrus. The flavor was bitter and tangy pine, grapefruit and earthiness. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.
