Tap @ brewery. Cloudy yellow orange appearance with an off white head. Tons of tropical fruit- mango, pineapple, lemon, orange- sweet, almost candy-like, citrusy hoppy aroma. Creamy, huge tropical fruity, mango, pineapple, big orange, citrusy hoppy flavor. Fuck yeah. Update: Batch #1 @ taproom was 4.3. New cans are pretty good, 3.6. Splitting the difference and putting this at 3.8 for now.

Can shared by Jcwattsrugger. Pours dark brown with off white head. Nose of tree sap, caramel malt, resin and chocolate. Taste is dry caramel sap, tree bark sap, syrupy sap, birch sap and maple sap. Did I mention its sappy? Decent. Lots of dry resin and sap in finish. Medium body.

Sample at Dad & Dude’s. The beer is a clear yellow-gold color with a thin white head that recedes to a film quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grainy malt and mild hops. Light body with flavors of bready malt, grain and lightly bitter hops. The finish is short and malty. Barely average overall.

12 oz can purchased at Antler liquor in Frisco, Colorado. Pour is a copper brownish ruby, slightly hazed, with a two inch tan head. The head falls with decent lacing. The aroma is hazelnut malt, a bit roasty, along with some milder pine and earthy hops. The taste has the slightly sweet hazelnut malt up front, mixed along with an earthy, sort of floral pine hop. There is a mild twinge of vegetal present, which detracted. The palate is medium bodied, pretty full for an IPA, though it is pretty dry which makes it easy to drink. Overall, decent IPA - not sure how fresh this was.

Can - clear gold pour - fairly basic nose and light noble hop, pale malt sweetness - not enough happening in the aroma to cover up the obvious diacetyl - slick texture but light body - taste is initially of peanut skins and copper - metallic character persists throughout, but some semi-dry, clean maltiness and a moderate saaz bite make things a little more bearable - a bit of tangy lemon - peanut skin returns in the finish - lingering metallic character - I have to say that I kind of expected this from this brewery, but still I am disappoint.
