On tap at Hog’s Apothecary. It pours a golden color with an off white head. The aroma is strong with honey, florals and some stone fruit. Pretty strong maltiness in the background. The flavor is thick and rather malty with strong floral, piney and lightly fruity hops. Full bodied with strong floral/piney bitter finish. Well made, but a bit too thick and malty for my tastes.

Sample at The Bistro DIPA-Festival, February 8. (my first one from this brewery) Hazy light orange with a white head. Pineapple, citrus, some malt and light notes of caramel. Also weak notes of hay. A solid bitterness in this one.

Tap at Capitol Beer. Pours hazy light orange with a creamy off-white head that did a little lacing. Aroma made me think of pineapple. Med body. Flavor seems to be citrus and tropical fruit. Certainly on the bitter side. Finishes fresh and fruity. And bitter. Very tasty and drinkable.
