Can at the Brown Jug Sandwich. Pours a slightly hazy deep amber orange with a small white head. Nose is pine, spruce, some grapefruit. Flavour is pine, solid sweet malt base, spruce and grapefruit.

Draft at 110 Grill Hopkinton. New local brewery excited to get to know. This one is ok. Cloudy orange and large head. Nose is cirrus and pine. Tastes of grapefruit pine resin dough and herbal. Medium oily palate.

Canned 10/23/17, drunk 2/3/18. Large, white head shows low retention atop a lightly hazy, peachy-gold body. Lime leaf, tangerine, peach and candied orange show plentiful PNW hops, albeit gently-done. Classic cracker and biscuit malts, quite sparse, show some support. Clean. Smells fine, though it is a bit dominated by orange peel, orange tea, marmalade; tons of PNW citrus. In the mouth it has an almost sour, resinous hop edge permeating everything. Bitter, astringent, almost orange skin oil. No sweetness whatsoever. Decent carbonation and a light attempt at balance, yet still too undermalted and/or over attenuated with too much bitterness showing through on the end. Kind of sour, as well.
