Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is opaque light yellow-orange (like tangerine juice), trace sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width frothy off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is mild sweet and tart fruit/citrus, rye. Taste is strong initial rye, followed by tart over sweet fruit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation, hint of pleasant alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, many interesting elements here but they all seem somewhat muted. If everything were amped up, this could be really interesting.

Can pour into nonic pint glass. Appearance is opaque yellow-orange (like tangerine juice), minimal sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger foamy off-white head (after vigorous pour) with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is mix of fruit and tropical fruit (hard to pick out without the help of the description, but the specifics are there), citrus and grainy backbone. Taste is fruit with piney balance higher in the mix but not terribly bitter, late cracker malt. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied, thin texture, average carbonation, mild numbing of the lips, and dry finish as taste with mild pleasant alcohol warmth at the very end. Overall, not the easiest flavors to distinguish. Aroma is more interesting than taste. A little thin compared to others in the NHVIPA series, to my recollection. Not my favorite of the series but decent.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow/light brown with no sparkle along most edges of glass, decent elsewhere, thin cap of off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is mango and blood orange. Taste is early sweet mango dominated by late blood orange and almost Brut-ish yeasty quality and biscuity malt end. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, not the most complex and I wish there was more mango as I prefer it to blood orange, but surprisingly robust for a session.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is opaque, juicy yellow-orange (like orange juice) with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width foamy white head with poor retention and light leggy lacing. Aroma is fruit and grains/oats with a touch of pine. Taste is mix of sweet and tart fruit over grainy malt backbone. Palate is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft-to-average carbonation with mild numbing of the lips and mild spiciness, and finish as taste with hint of piney bitterness for balance. Overall, oats gives some nice body and aroma (lactose, too?). Simcoe is not so dynamic so not the most complexity but nice enough. Could use a smidge more carbonation.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow/orange/light brown with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width foamy off-white head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong citrus (orange) and stone fruit (almost like a urinal puck, but not in a bad way) with a whiff of herb. Taste is as aroma. Palate is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick, smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste with a slight bitterness to balance out the sweet. Overall, nice mouthfeel and strong aroma and flavor. Not the most complex but, for a one-hop beer, it's good.

From backlog. Draught @ City Tap, Boston. Sweet, heavy and hoppy with some pine, citrus and grassy notes. A bit too sweet and heavy though. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) Beer'd All My Best Friends Are Hop Heads on 25 Jun 2019 at 20:58 - Score: 8

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is opaque orange (like tangerine juice), light sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width foamy off-white head with fair retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, stone fruit. Taste is mild alcohol, strong stone fruit, late dank bitter balance. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation, mild numbing of the lips, slightly spicy, and finish as taste with dry, late bitter. Overall, not the most complex offering but solid across the board. Alcohol is a little strong.

Can in a trade with tfontana, thank you Tom. Dated 2-1-19. Although the date is smudged a bit. Flavor has a lot of cracker, orange marmalade, and slight over ripe apricot-like hints. Shows a mild herbal astringent bitterness. This maybe turning in regards to freshness but still drinkable.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is cloudy yellow-orange with very light sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width fizzy white head with poor retention and light leggy lacing. Aroma is citrus and herb mix. Taste is dominant herb, milder citrus. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and dry finish as taste. Overall, herb is a bit more restrained than Idaho 7 or Galaxy but still strong aroma and flavor. Not terribly complex but a nice brew.

Can pour into nonic pint glass. Appearance is cloudy, dull yellow/light brown with decent sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width foamy off-white head with fair retention and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is strong herbal/hemp, milder fruit and background bready malt. Taste is scallion, hemp with second half milder citrus, grapefruit. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with lingering pleasant dry bitterness. Overall, strong aroma and flavor with fair complexity--dominated by herbal quality. Wish the thick texture had been countered with a little bit more carbonation but still very solid.
