Hazy golden-yellow with an amber hue. The head is frothy, off-white with good retention and some streaky foam lacing. Fresh cut grassy hop nose with some tropical fruit notes, giving mild sweetness with the honey. I am also getting hints of smokiness, in the aromas and the mouth - which is fine with me. Seems like a deeper, greener grass hop, but it does blend well with the juiciness and alcohol warmth. Was expecting too sweet, but I do like this Double IPA, as everything seems well-balanced.

Hazy golden colour with a frothy, lightly creamy white cap, good stay and leaving some nice dirty lacing. Herbal, grassy hop nose with some citrus shine. Same for taste. Decent bitterness, but not too much for this brewery. Drinkable, somewhat dry, but refreshing and easy.

Hazy bright yellow colour with a white frothy-bubbly head, good retention and lots of foamy lacing. One of their fruitier smelling DDH with hints of grass, but some nice light sweetness to it. Milder citrus peel for taste with a slight elevating spicy finish, to linger on soft dryness and slight tart. Some particles in the end. A refreshing, easy-going citrusy IPA.

Hazy bright yellow colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and leaving some foamy lacing. Fruity nose with the citrus, tropical fruits and hints of coconut. The coconut appears more in the taste with some citrusy zest that is mild. Refreshing, not too thick mouthfeel with a little spicy finish, and some light dryness. Good, just not as juicy as expected in the title.

Hazy bright yellow colour with a white head, good retention and creamy thick lacing streaks. The nose is fruitier, less grassy, than other brews I have had so far from this brewery. Juicy oranges with light sweetness of pineapples, mangoes. A juicy mouthfeel with some good dryness in the finish. A refreshing citrus, dry-hopped IPA.

Hazy golden-yellow with a big frothy-bubbly slight off-white cap, good retention and leaving some thick soapy lacing. Lots of orange fruitiness in the nose with some grassy notes. The taste is bitter with some citrus zest and peel. This bitterness creates dryness and lingers. More and more. If a grassy, bitter and dry IIPA is your thing, you should really like this.

Hazy pale yellow colour with a warm frothy-creamy cap, good retention and some beautiful creamy lacing. Citrus and pineapple aromas from the hops here, blended with tangerine hints. Some good dryness in the mouthfeel, yet refreshing. A few particles runs through it. Citrus peel and juice flavours.

Hazy golden-yellow colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and leaving some light creamy lacing. Aromas are fruity, with a little sweetness, from mild citrus notes and hints of tropical fruits. The taste has some good green grass-wood bite, with a little zestiness and orange base. Quite dry of a mouthfeel. A nice DDH IPA with some bite to it.

Cloudy orange colour with a bubbly head, average retention and a few bubbles sticking around. Orange juice nose with a slight fruity-sweetness from the mangoes, and some mild punch from the grapefruits. Orange juice tasting with some big spicy bite, bitterness, and zest-peel dryness. Particles stick where they are in the last pour, as the brew is thick. Very bitter, dry, taking a little away from the juiciness which is lost from the two fruits.

(On tap @ the brewpub, Sept 21/19) Pours opaque bright yellow with a fine white head and lots of lace. Notes of mango, tangerine, peach, floral grapefruit and melon with light cereal malt characteristics (oats?) giving a certain chalkiness, lightly sweet finishing dry and lightly bitter with grapefruit peels, fruit rinds and soft pine needles. Light to medium body, average plus carbonation. Drinks more like an APA at 5% which is quite fine on a hot sunny day, though not super-concentrated in flavour. Solid.
