Got in a trade with beergoot. 32 ounce crowler into tulip glass, filled on 6/23/2019. Pours very hazy medium orange/amber, light copper/red color with a 1 finger dense and rocky light pink head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, mango, honeydew, watermelon, strawberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cracker, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, mango, honeydew, watermelon, strawberry, citrus peel/zest, wood, light peppercorn/pine, cracker, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of mandarin orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, passion fruit, mango, honeydew, watermelon, strawberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.6%. Overall this is a very nice IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/light earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish; great soft feel and not aggressive. Really unique hop profile. Feels like El Dorado, Huell Melon, and Belma. Very juicy and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a nice bready malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

On tap at the brewery, at the release party. Pours black, with no head. The aroma is chocolate malt, mild coffee, syrup, vanilla, and brown sugar. Very sweet, with a lovely, bitter finish. Surprisingly light body, with a malty, chewy mouthfeel. This is a candy-like and easy drinking stout. Nice.

Sample at the Feast of Saint Arnold. Pours a hazy, yellow color, with a big, bubbly, white head. Light orange juice aroma, with some cloves, refined sugar, and chalk. Sweet, with a sharp, citrusy bitterness. Light to medium body, and quite acidic. Quality hazy IPA, with a good bitter kick.

Sample from a growler, at a share. Pours purple, with a small, foamy, pink head. Nice, tart cherries, yogurt, and boysenberry. Mellow tartness, and sugary sweet. Light and very acidic. Easy.

On tap at the brewery in a flight. Pours a pale, hazy, yellow color, with a big, foamy, white head. The nose is lemon zest, sage, basil, raw oak, and strong juniper. Sweet and herbal, with a pretty good, mellow bitterness. Medium body, mildly astringent, grainy, and crisp. This is a pretty solid example, and surprisingly balanced and easy.

On tap at the brewery in a flight. Pale, clear, copper color, with a small, beige head. The nose is caramel, syrup, pine sap, and butter toffee. Sticky sweet, with a very hefty bitterness that lingers through the finish. Very heavy body, syrupy, sticky, and chewy. This is a strong, hoppy barley wine. Some time would mellow out the hop bitterness and allow the malts to shine. Quite enjoyable!
