Crowler filled March 25th.
It pours a hazy orange yellow with plenty of foam and good lacing.
It smells really dank, tropical, pretty usual aromas for the style. It IS fresh.
Taste is dank, juicy, lots of tropical fruit, almost weedy. Very hoppy with a medium amount of bitterness. That dankness though...
The body is fine, it definitely tastes stronger than the 8th Wonder. It's aboot on par with the stronger ones of the style that I have had.

On draught at Mountain Hops Brewing.
Pours pitch black with a smallish head of tannish foam.
Smells roasty, dark chocolate, cocoa nibs that add some sweetness. Some coffee there as well.
Taste has the cocoa nibs at the forefront and it is delicious. Roasted malt, really nice bitter sweet thing going on with some of the bitterness coming from the coffee. Really easy drinking too because the abv is on the lower side for the style.
Good mouthfeel.
Excellent and I am so proud of this, a local, brewery!

Crowler bought February 18th 2021.
Pours a hazy orange with a 2 finger head of foam initially. Lacing is good.
The smell has grapefruit, orange, lime, it's very aromatic.
The taste is grapefruit, orange, light lime, toasted almost caramel malty. Nice. Nothing in your face too much, just so nice and smooth and easy to drink.
Medium body with just under medium carbonation.
A single hop IPA using Motueka from New Zealand. Tres yummy!

On draught at Mountain Hops Brewhouse. Also, a Crowler.
Pours pitch black with an off white head of foam, good lacing.
Smells roasty, sweet, milky, true to the style.
Taste matches the smell. Not shy with the flavours at such a reasonable abv.
Could drink multiple pints but for now, I'll grab a Crowler. ;)
Smooth mouthfeel.
Excellent beer!
