A golden DIPA with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with dank resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, dank and rich. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with resinous piney hops, light mineral notes, alcohol warmth, very nice. On tap at Churchkey.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy yellow with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has citrus rind and orange with a bit of mango and a hint of resin underlying. Flavor has sweet citrus and dank mango with a growing bite of citrus rind backing.

Crisp and ever-so-slightly hazy golden and orange coloured body with a little bit of a golden tint and a good deal of bubbles, all rising from the bottom. Aroma of nice resinous and very citrusey hops with a large alpha acid and bitter quality, with a strong and balanced amount of both malt and sweetness, showing a smooth and robust character that isn't defined on just hops. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy, citrusey and very dry bite at first with a lot of grain and earthier malt that shows a little nutty flavours as well, along with a finish of sugars and light fruits, like apricots and even peaches. Aftertaste shows the hops and a lot of dry bitterness with a good herbal and grassy kick to couple with the strongest - the citrus. Overall, a very resinous and grassy finish with a supportive, but perhaps on the lighter side of things in terms of malts with a biscuity bite, but this really is all about the hops, which show well. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, given to me by Director of Operations of the brewery after a hockey game in Arlington (Ballston) on 04-December-2019 - Thanks Erik!

Tap at the brewery, pours a neon orange with some frothy, sticky white head. Nose is OK, orange and grapefruit, soap, herbs, some citrus juice notes. Perhaps a bit pithy. Flavor steps off, sadly. The orange is very heavy and a little dried out, grapefruit too but the worst parts, potpourri, grass, some paper. Cutting finish, very astringent. A miss.
