Bottle provided by Eric S. and sampled 3 days after the bottled release. Murky straw color with lasting head. Aroma is all tropical fruit and citrus. Mango, oranges and grapefruit. Great and show a Citra hop profile. Absolutely NO cat pee!! Yes!
Displays a lot of juicy fruit and mild grassy hops. Maybe even a pine note but the juicy, busting fruit is what gives this a great character. The body is medium with a moderate lingering bitterness that still has enough of a malt base to help with the balance. Easy drinking for the ABV and when I was finished I really wished I had another bottle. If you can get this fresh, it should NOT disappoint any hop head. This is a nicely worked recipe.

Two different 4 oz. sample at Powder Keg Chili and Beer fest, Exeter, NH... 4 Oct, 2014 Amber red color. Rye malt, wet grass and danky hops. Flavor has a zesty tanginess with a nice citrus kick toward the finish. Medium to light bodied, standard carbonation, semi-dry finish, mild lingering bitterness. Love this beer.

On tap at the source Reddish brown color. Earthy spicy pine aroma with bits of bread and caramel to counter. Spicy earthy bite in the flavor with just enough malt to balance. Nice rye beer.

Draft @ Thirsty Moose, Dover Location. Cloudy Gold in color with low carbonation level. Aroma is wheat with a strong leather aroma. Flavor is wheat, tart lemons and some lactic acid with the unfinished leather that carries over from the aroma.
Yeasty, chewy mouthfeel with light lingering lactic acid and sourness. Overall the brewer nailed the style. The base of the beer is right on point with the style. I think a small shot of syrup would make this highly enjoyable. Well made.

On tap at cask and vine Pours a lightly hazy light golden color with a frothy white head that slowly recedes to a cap but puts lots of sticky lace on the sides, Huge resinous citrus hop aromas backed up by a solid bit of bready caramel. Resinous pine and citrus flavors backed up by just a bit of bready caramel. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Very nice offering from a local brewery. In a blind tasting tonight I picked it over lunch. Its pretty damn tasty!

Draft @ Portsmouth Gaslight Co. Pour is hazy golden orange with a big white head and great lacing. Great aroma of bright citrus fruits, ganja, sweet bread and light hay.
Taste is full of oranges, grapefruit, hints of grass and light traces of pine. Clean malt profile; straw and biscuit breads. Bitterness is medium and lingers just a bit. Light resin. Full body with high/ lively carbonation. This is really well crafted and very drinkable and I would not hesitate to go for it again.

Draft @ the Coat of Arms for Portsmouth Beer Week. Hazy golden color with lasting head retention. Aroma is citrus and floral hops with pale malts. The flavor is bright with citrus first and light floral hints near the finish. The palate is crisp with a mild lingering bitterness that vanishes after a few seconds. The body is on the light side of medium and makes for a nice opportunity to session. Just enough malt to balance this beer really nicely. Very solid offering and I look forward to seeing the next offering these gentlemen craft.
