Can at Gather, Boston, 2/4/17.
Large, white head tops a lightly hazy, pale-golden body. Retention is moderate.
Soft, somewhat sweaty hops in the nose are joined by dough, biscuit, moderate fruitiness (peach, apple, apricot) and a smattering of light honey. There’s a lovely lime-pineapple character to it, overarching everything, that I wish was more prominent. Otherwise, no alcohol or flaw and could use just a touch more juiciness to it.
In the mouth it’s tightly carbonated with a malty, soft, texture showing high attenuation. Biscuits, grain, sweat and dough show the malt and yeast while the hops add moderate bitterness, pineapple and light lemon-lime. Great stuff as usual, from Proc and a nice change of pace from the cloudy, intense juice bombs, yet it’s not fully a West Coast IPA either.

Bottle at EBF, 2/3/17.
Hazy pale beeswax golden with a small, but fairly well-retained, beige-flecked, off-white head.
Light acetic acid quickly gives way to moderate oak and tangy peach. Malts behind it provide honey and white bread while the apricots provide even more tartness and fruit character. Lactic acids are strong though there is no alcohol or surplus of toasty oak notes, thankfully.
Very fruity with lots of acidity coming at the palate from everywhere; fruit, barrel, bacteria. That being said, the fruit flavors are delightful here, as they almost always are from Proclamation; no skimping on that, that’s for sure. Honey, bread, oak, acetic-lactic sourness on the finish and moderate minerality from the stone fruit character. Maybe a little rough and young yet, but certainly still enjoyable and with tons of potential for aging.

Draught at Lord Hobo, 2/1/17.
Moderately to moderately-high haziness, though not soupy here. Bright golden-flax with a firm, dense, white head atop.
Beautiful tropical fruits are lush and soft in the nose and backed by honey-accented base malts, soft minerals from the yeast and water and very light citrus. After one whiff, I’m already digging this hop; seems to be on the very low-end of resin/alpha acid and has only a bit of bright lemon as far as citrus is concerned. Lots of easygoing mango, papaya and passion fruit, otherwise. Clean, no alcohol.
Juicy, maybe not explosively so, but with ample polished malts providing a soft, supple texture in concert with tight carbonation. Just a hint of green, spicy, vegetal hop character keeps the brightness up and waves of mango, passion fruit and papaya linger on the finish. Soft, very drinkable, good attenuation and no resin or heavy grapefruit/pine. Awesome addition to the series and really excited to try more of this hop.
