Growler thanks to Steve pours out a crisp clear gold topped with a white head. Nose is nice crisp tropical notes and some sweetness. Taste is more of the nice sweet tropical fruit hops and a well balanced end.

Crowler from Growler Guys. Clear, bright golden, soft foamy head. Full hoppy aroma and taste.. Clean and crisp. Pretty damn good.

Can, thanks Andrew! Pours crystal clear golden, medium creamy white head, dissipates fairly slowly, good lacing. Aroma is leafy, pine, grapefruit, hint of passion fruit. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter. Medium body. Difficult to place this as a wet hop.

Six pack from Lep-Ro-Kan. Bright golden, orange tones, small wispy head. Strong, potent hoppy aroma. Taste too is strong hoppy bitterness, some citrus, sweet, tangy, stinging. And smooth, too. Pretty top notch IIPA

Can thanks to Andrew! Pours hazy golden, small white head, dissipates fairly quickly, good lacing. Aroma is light overall, hints of sulphur, urine(?!), fruit. Flavor is light plus sweet, light bitter, mango here for sure, hints of honey and pine. Medium body. Not doing it for me.

Draft pour pint at Chucks, Central District. Very clean, shiny golden pour. An earthy reminding hop profile on the aroma. Very grassy flavor. Bold hops here. Moderate bitter. Lingering hop character. For some reason, this wasn't really what I expected to come from these two, but still good overall.

12 oz can from a case bought at work. Aroma is citrus powder drink, orange creamsicle, passionfruit. Pours hazy deep gold with an off-white head with decent retention and some lace. Taste has average to maybe slightly above average bitterness, light malt sweetness with juicy hop flavor. Not bad. I would like to compare it side by side with Topcutter.

Crowler fill. Aroma is citrus rind, peach, cat piss, orange juice. Pours hazy golden with a thick white head with good retention and some splotchy lace. Taste has mid-level bitterness with some juicy citrusy hop flavor. A good belch leaves lots of resinous leafy hop flavor on the palate. Yummy!
