Batch 35. Pale hazy yellow-orange-brown body, thick cream head. Aroma earthy and juicy with lime, stone fruits, and a surprising amount of pine. Body features gin and tonic and lemon-lime on a neutral stone fruit/melon and dough backdrop with modest pine. Lovely mouthfeel and balance.

Taster pour from a can at Greg & Jane's (version 34 - El Dorado and Amarillo). It's very dark yellow with nice foamy off-white head with good retention. Aroma and taste are similar with a mix of generic fruit and piney, grapefruit balance. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not a ton of complexity but good strength.

16 ounce can. Canned on 11/01/18. Features Amarillo, Topaz and Rakau hops. Murky tan pour us topped by a frothy beige head. Faint citrus hop nose. Tangy citrus hop flavor upfront. Notes of passionfruit, tangerine and apricot. Some boozy notes. Tasty and quaffable at 7% ABV.

Super hazy golden, peach, coppered and even light brown coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall off-white, tan head - very hazy throughout. Aroma of mild tropical fruits with a lot of guava, papaya, a touch of yeast and bread and very little else. Medium-bodied; Super pungent biting hops up front that show lemondrop hops along with some other citrus components, with a big dose of alcohol, bitterness and punch towards the end with a light malt backbone which accentuates the hops and citrus flavours, in a good way. Aftertaste shows almost exclusively the lemondrop (which it seems?) hops or some hybrid/fake varietal that isn't typical, but hits this beer nicely and adds a great complexity at the end. Overall, a pungent, well-structured and hop-centric beer that hits nicely and stays for quite a while without being saturated in one profile or another, but definitely showcases this, seemingly, lemondrop/hybrid hop varietal. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 21-November-2018 for US$3,79, sampled just two days later at my parents-in-law's house in Seymour, Connecticut on 23-November-2018.

16 oz. can purchased at 7-11 Kittery Maine. Appearance is deep golden straw color, foamy head in a snifter. Aroma is mild fruit, leafy green herbal hops, subtle pine. Flavor is a carbon copy; mild fruit upfront, mild bready malt center and ends on a herbal hop with very low bitterness. Mild juicy texture. Simple and straight forward with a slight "New England" flair.
