Pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a light hazy yellow color with a creamy white head. Aroma was big citrus notes, really nice lemon, tropical fruit, peaches. Flavor was slightly bitter, some coriander, tropical fruit. Some light grass. This was really nicely made.

Pours a lightly hazy, pale copper-gold, with minimal head. Aroma is quite sour--fruit, wine-barrel, wild yeast. Flavors follow, with a fairly acidic finish. Mouthfeel is pretty clean and crisp.

16 oz can in a trade with Clarkvv. Thank you! Aroma of soft mall in Mile Pine. My review is more of a reflection of the fact, I don’t always love this hop. Grapefruit, mild grass and a mild long lingering pine like bitterness.

16 oz can in a trade with Clarkvv. Thank you! Aroma, citrus rind and mild biscuit malt. Flavor falls with a little bit of lemon and herb notes. The hops are still alive and well here. Easy drinking IPL.

Canned on 06/25/2025. Iets troebele gouden kleur met zeepachtig witte kraag, veel schuim eigenlijk. Geur is lekker kruidige hop, met wat fruit retronasaal (druiven, iets zurig). Smaak is subtiel bitter, kruidig, met een heel licht zoetje. Lichte tot medium body. Zacht bittere afdronk, die lang blijft hangen.

My 8,600th beer rating, so I wanted it to be a special brew. I picked this gem up at Hill Farmstead back in August of 2023. This is a collaboration of three of my all time favorite breweries! 375ml capped bottle. Mostly opaque dark brown pour is topped by a scant creamy tan cap. Earthy, funky dark fruit aroma is mostly cherry. Flavor is crisp, dry, tart. Sour cherry, raspberry, vinous. Barrel, acidic and funky notes. Fairly smooth from the aging. Solid from start to finish.

Pours a hazy, peach-tea color, with big head. Aroma is sour fruit, wild yeast. Flavors follow, with some wine and barrel wood. Mouthfeel seems a bit thin. Tasty sipper.

Pours a dark brown, verging on black, with mid-sized tan head. Aroma has some sour notes, oak, fruit, basement dankness, wild yeast. Flavors follow. Smooth, soft mouthfeel. Really something.

Draught at Monk's: pours hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is some tropical notes, some herbal notes, little dankness. Taste is not too sweet. Fruity. Low bitterness.
