@Pilsner Petes East Coast Gathering-bottle-pours a thin white head and amber/gold color. Aroma is resin/herbal/marigold hops, some sweet medium malt. Taste is resin/herbal/marigold hops with some bitter, some sweet medium malt. Thanks notalush for sharing.

Growler from Puddintane (thanks so much!), shared at Peter’s NY gathering - inviting, glowing cloudy golden beer - explosive hop aroma - every kind of hop character you can name - floral, spicy, grassy - the flavor is much the same - kind of an earthy hop onslaught - yea, the malt is there, but probably not in enough abundance to balance it to some people’s taste, which is completely understandable - I really loved the intense bitterness, though - finished peppery, with a hint of grass and citrus - yum.

On draught at the Smokehouse. The beer pours a hazy orange color with a thin and bubbly off-white head that burns away to a film eventually. Craggy lacing sticks to the glass throughout. Citrusy hops aroma with a touch of malt. Medium-body with a robust bitter hops flavor. Notes of grapefruit/oranges, herbs and grass. Just enough malt balance to keep it from being harsh. The finish is hoppy with a lingering bitterness left over. Pretty solid overall.
