Growler can shared by tderoeck at RBBWG. Bubbly snow white head, quickly dissolving; clear old gold colour. Aroma of fresh ’green’ hoppiness, pine resin, grapefruit peel, green banana, marihuana, granadilla, biscuit, dried mango. Vivid, lush fruitiness in the mouth, yellow kiwi, starfruit, unripe banana, sweetish with sourish balance, soft carbo, oily and supple mouthfeel. Cereally, bread crust-like malt core supporting a generous, aromatic hoppiness, spicy and bittering but not in an overly harsh way, tropical and rich notes of mango, grapefruit, guava and cedar oil. Very young sample - IPA is obviously at its best in this condition, lively and as fresh as can be, lush and generous. A delight for IPA lovers.

Huge white head over fully clear golden beer. New World hops jumping out off the glass, grapey hops, lunaria. Bitter-lunaria, bitterish grapes (foxy NW?), fruity character. Very slick, oily to even buttery, hop-intoned palate, Really good (I)IPA, in the strictest style.

Thank you tderoeck! 946.35 ml. crowler sampled @ RBBWG VI (2017). Canned 12 February. Clear golden, small white head. Nose is oily pure hop oil, mango, peach, zest, mellow fruity very oily hop oil above all. Taste is the same, just huge basic hop oil, almost hop oil butter (not in a bad way, just so oily big hop oil), sunflower seeds, sesame seeds oil, mango, peach. Body is all hop oil, peach. More mellow than expected, this is basically canned hop oil. Neat.
