Tap taster pour at Craft Beer Race New Haven. Appearance is clear dark yellow with thin ring of white head with fair lacing and sparkle. Aroma is dank resin, herbs, pine. Taste is more pine than in aroma, resin, citrus. Palate is medium bodied with slick texture, soft-to-average carbonation, finish as taste. Overall, nice mix of strong flavors. Good DIPA.

Draught at the brewery, 6/4/16.
Golden body with some warm peach and beige tones. Light haziness with a small white head showing average retention.
Pine, wood, cherry, pineapple and white grapefruit mix to give a rather aggressive yet juice-tinted aroma. Light honey and bread crust behind it balamcing somewhat. Can’t really get past the pine and stewed hops but there is some redeeming juiciness. Light alcohol sharpness, as well.
Bitter, piney and with dry, rather sharp, pineapple and white grapefruit. Hard texture needs significantly more maltiness. Lots of stewed hop, resin, astringency, alcohol. Would never have guessed this was nelson hop and theyve really killed the subtleties. Some redeeming qualities but alot of issues. May be done with Beer’d.

Draught at the brewery, 6/4/16.
Glassy, copper-beige-golden body has an off white head atop that is immediately re eding to nothing.
Odd mix of floral, spicy and estery notes in the nose with light perfume and lots of malt apparency. Graham cracker, honey, hay and bread all in some form with some bare, vegetal hop notes that can barely even muster a dose of pine and grapefruit. On the plus side, the blood oranges arent overdone (barely perceptible).
More graham cracker-like malt notes and accompanying texture in the mouth with moderate to moderately strong attenuation. Citrus is light from the hops and finally by the end of the pint, I can pinpoint the blood oranges, for whatevet thats worth. Hard texture with low, rather loose/fizzy carbonation. Bit of alcohol sharpness.

Draught at 5 Horse Somerville, 5/15/16.
Mildly hazy, bright orange-copper body is topped by a small amount of white head showing moderate retention.
Nose is initially very dense and full of dank, spicy notes, but plentiful red and yellow fruits. With warming and breathing, significant grapefruit, light pineapple and tons of lime emerges, though there’s some sour-ish resin on the end that’s not overly appealing. Malts reveal a bit of caramel and light bread but are otherwise fairly relaxed. Maybe a hint of alcohol.
The flavor shows plenty of juiciness; pineapple, cherry, mango but big, bready, sourdough-like notes emerge, a combination of malt and pine-like resin. Some alcohol apparent, sapping the texture, which is lightly slick and not all that softly-malted (very low carbonation). The juiciness is nice, but it’s no match for the pine/grapefruit and heavy breadiness. Not a great intro to this brewery....

Growlette from in person trade with Roger aka Roguer, thanks man.
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy bronzed yellow color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds. Light lacing becomes stringy and slides down.
The smell started off with the orange peel with a doctored light biscuity malt. Light grassy tones permeate nicely.
The taste started off with combined efforts of orange peel, orange, light lemon to be sweet yet semi-bitter. Its somewhat crisp and refreshing as it hits in the aftertaste. There’s a quick citrusy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation is refined with a decent pounding from the bitterness.
Overall, good session witbier and/or food beer. I’d have again with its respected food.
