The beer is orangey yellow. Fairly hazy but still transparent. Medium white head. Moderate lacing, little bubbles, etc. The aroma is milder than expected but there’s still plenty of Citra flavor. Tangerine, pineapple, orange, mango. Mild but pleasant crackery malt background. Taste is dry and lightly bitter. Sweet hoppiness. A bit more bitterness in the finish. Lots of pineapple. Very nice. Light mouthfeel. Tasty stuff.

The beer is a medium ambery gold. Somewhat hazy. Medium-sized white head. Big tropical hop aroma with milder citrus and a sharp peppery spice. Mild pale malt background. The beer looks a bit darker than usual but it drinks the same as most hoppy Cellarmaker beers. Taste has nice hop flavor. Big pineapple juice note. Some raw almost woody spice. A touch heavier on the palate than some hoppy beers from them, though it might just be the spice. Tasty stuff.

The beer is a pale yellow tan color. Tight white head. Looks a little fizzy. Big sheets of lacing left on the glass. The aroma is fresh and hoppy but doesn’t overwhelm. Floral and citric hoppiness. Clean simple grain flavor. Taste is crisp and light. Mildly bitter. Quite dry. Lots of the same bright hop notes. Refreshing and very easy to drink. Light on the palate. This is an excellent little beer. Right in line with Cellarmaker’s normal standard for hoppy beer.

The beer is medium gold. It has good clarity. No haze evident. Medium white head. Some lacing. The aroma is tangerine, pineapple, mango, kiwi, grape, peach, blackberry and other tropical/floral/citrus flavors. There’s also a spicier pepper note in there. A bit different than their normal spectrum of hoppiness. Malt provides a background honey character with light caramel. Taste is medium bitter and fairly dry. Lots of hop flavor. More of that spice flavor. Also, more apples and citrus than tropical. Still quite nice. Mouthfeel is light with some pleasant hop oiliness. Refreshing. Another very good hoppy beer from Cellarmaker.

Pale, golden beer with mild haze and a fizzy white head. The aroma is fresh, crackery malt with bright, grassy hops. Rich but light flavors. The taste is clean and very refreshing. It’s fairly dry with a lingering bitterness that grows in the aftertaste. It’s probably a bit hoppier than most style guidelines would prefer, but I like it and it’s really not as hoppy as I expected. Very clean, nice malt sweetness. Mouthfeel is light with effervescent carbonation, mild prickliness. Crisp. Good stuff. Cellarmaker does a good job with restraint when they want to.

The beer is a pale yellow gold with a white head. Good clarity. Looks like a beer. The aroma is big on tangerine and pineapple, which is right in Cellarmaker’s wheelhouse, but it’s also sweeter and more floral than normal. Big mango, grape, a little pear. Just simple malt sweetness in the background. Mild bitterness. Quite dry. Tons of hop flavor. This beer has nearly none of the bland bitterness of many hoppy beers. Crisp and light. Very easy to drink. Normal carbonation. A little bit of grassiness in the finish. Excellent.

The beer is a medium amber-ish gold. It’s quite cloudy. Head is white and smallish, dissipates after a few seconds to a ring of bubbles. The aroma has a lot of fruit with light pale malt sweetness and oak. The red wine barrel kinda dominates, but the whole thing is fairly understated. Berries, grapes, currants. Taste is dry with lots of oak. It’s not quite right for me. Just too much wood without enough saison flavor for balance. Lightly bitter finish from the oak. Mild fruit with a little lingering wine booziness. Feel is light with average carbonation. Might be a bit too strong for its own good. It’s not bad but it tastes like the oak sucked some of the life out of this beer.

The beer is a glowy glass of orange-yellow. It’s completely clouded over. Small white head. A little lacing, etc. The aroma is tropical fruit and citrus explosion. Juicy juice. Huge pineapple. Some mango and big tangerine. Guava. So, yeah, tropical fruit hops. Mild grain note, just a little pale malt. There’s a sort of coarse grain flavor and feel that I assume comes from water chemistry magic. Incredibly easy to drink. This is a really tasty beer.

Sample at the Bistro’s DIPA-festival. Hazy golden/orange with a white head. Very hoppy with citrus, pineapple, tropical fruit and some light hay. Also weak notes of cookies. The finish was dry and bitter. A nice one.

On tap at Cellarmaker. Aroma is super fruity with a lot of tropical fruit and medium light citrus. Light stone fruit with a moderate dank, wet forest floor. Light grain note. A hint of butter, but I think it may be guava notes from the hops. Pours a super cloudy and may pale yellow gold with a medium white head with decent retention retention as it recedes to a thin film. Flavor is slightly sweet and fairly fruity with a medium citrus note. Hints of guava and light tropical fruit. Moderate bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice IPA with a ton of fruit character and a light cracker malt backbone.
