This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a grapefruit peel looking color. The head was extremely minimal and quickly slid into the beer. Extremely and barely any lacing clung yet slid into the beer.
The smell had a grapefruit sting laying into some sweet grassy hops. A light amount of dry citrusy notes acquaint themselves into the rest of the aroma.
The taste takes the grapefruit to bring about a nice bitterness to coincide with the sweetness of the hops, mainly balanced with a nice dry grapefruit-rind bitter aftertaste. Definitely a light dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionable to sipping quality about it. Carbonation runs nice for a DIPA with a do-able \"bitter\" harshness wanting to pound my tongue, but still leaving enough to be subtle.
Overall, DIPA, yeah, definitely by all means, Foley Brothers did the one that’s turning my head in their direction. They have it in them.

Great balance here. Citrus and light green onions. Almost tastes like tree house green without the arrogance. Tangy bitter finish. Orange pour. Nice. Bottle shared by nimbleprop.

22oz bottle pours a murky pineapple gold with some lacing, frothy, white head. Nose has a lot of pith and soap, lemon rind, grapefruit, straw, grass. Flavor really opens up with plenty of tropical fruit, pineapple, guava, grass, some tangerine, Meyer lemon, some honey. Slick and bitter finish. Old school smell, new school taste.

Bomber picked up at Craft Beer Cellar, Waterbury, VT and drunk at home. Orange gold, with a deep haze. Film and side serving of bubbly, white head. Nose is jammy strawberry. Tinned pear. Light, fresh herb. Sweet and juicy. Taste is chewy sweet and fruity, stony bitter. Soft, and easy drinking, with good body. Lots of depth. Bitterness builds toward the end, and balances out the sweetness beautifully. This grew on me a lot. Hugely drinkable. Lovely.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt to bronzed orange to brown color with a slim finger-ed white concave foamy head that dissipated nice and evenly. Lacing was somewhat there.
The smell had sweet and spicy rye up front letting in light citrus enveloping a slight piney element underneath. Malts seem to stay underneath as well.
The taste was moderately sweet with a nice bitter citrus rind and spiced rye sliding in underneath. Dry citrus to rye aftertaste roaming into same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good.
Overall, an AIPA with a nice spicy to sweet rye aspect meeting citrus and a light caramel malt. I’d say this was a pretty good one to have again.

Bottled on 10/28/15.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a one finger white to off white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute.
The smell had some maple over top of a light piney hops.
The taste was moderately sweet through the maple. Piney bitterness comes back to balance. Light dry malty aftertaste runs into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionable feel about it. Carbonation feels right. Stickiness of the maple comes back to slightly lay down on my tongue, but nice and balanced for the most part.
Overall, as an American Brown ale, it works, nice balance between the maple sweetness and the piney hops. I’d have again.
