Tap at Cap Tap, Pours darkly translucent orange gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus dank. Med ++ body. Flavor is oh so dank - and it’s mostly pale stone and mixed tropical fruits. Think citrus is there - but sort of submerge. This is dank, hoppy and incredibly fruity. Almost dry. Bitter? Could be - but hoppy/dank is so strong bitter isn’t really an issue. Very intense flavors. Mind boggling.

Keg at City Beer - SF. With the RBWG 2016 A Team. Pours deep gold with a creamy, white head. Deep and dank and resinous in the nose, with pine and ripe citrus. Medium sweet flavour, moderately boozy, with dried bread, oily pine, orange, bitter citrus rind. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish, resinous and piney, with more bready malts, orange, melon. Good one. Drinks nicely given the heady ABV.

Tap. Pours light golden. Aroma is mostly tropical fruits, some grass and citrus in the background. Body is medium, quite intense, pleasantly bitterness, good residual sweetness, with a crisp carbonation. Fruity lingering palate, but this beer asks for more dryness. Good.

On tap at McGillicuddy’s, Five Corners, Essex Junction VT.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a sly crisp yellow color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a quick pace. Messy sticky spider web lace.
The aroma takes on sweet oily oniony hops with a low key bitterness far underneath. Grassy sweet to bitter hops even further underneath.
The flavor yields to the sweet danky onion taste , sly crisp to oily sort of skin-esque sticky sort of low riding smooth sweet maltiness. Sly oily smooth sweet aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Low carbonation.
Overall, it’s a good AIPA that I could have again. Just dankier, that’s all.
