Bottle. Pours with a hazy, orange to gold hued body with a small, off-white head that lasts and leaves some lace. Aromas of pineapple, higher alcohol, esters, a particularly sweet, caramel/crystal heavy malt bill. A hint of strawberry, slight manure and a phenolic smoke. Messy as are a lot of Hermitage’s beers. Tropical fruit aroma from the hops. Flavors of are bitter, dry, roasty, grainy, astringent, tannic extraction, phenolic smoke notes (nearly peat like). Light fruity, tropical fruit hop character. Hugely astringent, nearly chalky mouthfeel imparted by the grain. Tannic, dry. Bitter balance. Peanutshells. Lively bubbles. Messy!

Bottle. Pours with a hazy, orange hued body with a small and fading off-white head. Some lace left behind, but not much. Aromas are tropical fruit, lightly herbal hop qualities, a bit of rotten orange (not how Citra normally is for me). A bit of a urine quality. Estery. Malt profile comes across as a bit sticky, caramel and toffee like. Flavors are pappery, grainy, bitter, medium astringency. Malt seems slightly oxidized, but the hops are still there (hot side aeration? crappy malt (heard that a recent batch of Canadian 2-row is off)). Hops are kind of faint, fruity. Bitter balance. Dry, earthy, soil, metallic quality. Lively bubbles, dry. Soapy. I don’t know why I keep buying from theses guys.

bottle from BevMo, pours light amber with a thin tan head. Aroma is dank as hell, grassy aromas very skunky in a good way. Flavor is more straight forward toast and light nutty malts with a good kick of skunky hops with citrus lingering in the finish. Another good one, but my favorite was the Amarillo.

bottle from BevMo pours light amber with a medium light tan head. Aroma is strong citrus rind, bitter orange, grapefruit. Flavor is toast and nuts with a sour/bitter orange and grapefruit hop finish. Mildly assertive but dry finish. Again, this line is affordable, and they are well done. What’s not to love?

bottle from BevMo at home, pours light amber with a medium rocky light tan head. Aroma is huge pine, grapefruit, and apple hop notes really dank aroma. Flavor does not dissapoint, huge toast and caramel malt profile balanced well with a pineapple, pine and light citrus hop finish that dries out nice and is fairly assertive. This is a homerun and priced well to boot.
