UPDATED: MAR 9, 2024 Draught at Monk's: pours gold with white head. Pine and loads of citrus: much grapefruit and the like. Slight boozy notes, but they meld well. Somewhat bitter, a bit sweet. Undeiably well crafted. Glad I got it in a bar rather than waiting in line.

UPDATED: FEB 17, 2024 Draft. Pours gold with a white head. Dank and grassy hops, moderate bitterness, some pith and orange rind, and a dank and bright hoppy finish. Overhyped? Sure. But still pretty damn good.

UPDATED: SEP 25, 2023 Pours hazy jonquil with a fair eggshell head. Aroma yields resiny hops, juicy tangerine, a tropical note. Flavor features bitter piney hops, zesty tangerine, mango. Texture wraps up with nice body & lively fizz. Another one of my beer bucket list!

UPDATED: JUL 10, 2023 At Dror's place, pours clear with a small head, aroma of orange, marmalade, malt, flavor is bitter with orange, tangerine, medium bodied

UPDATED: APR 15, 2023 2023 bottle - Pours light yellowish orange with very little head Wow...really never thought I'd get a chance to try this. Unfortunately this isn't my jam. Sharp, boozy, real light hoppiness that just gets lost in the sweet alcohol. Light, well carbonated.

UPDATED: FEB 27, 2023 On tap at Isaac Newton’s in Newtown, PA. 10.2% ABV. Finally, at long last, I have landed this legendary brew! Bright, honey gold pour. Brief white head reduces to a small ring. Fragrant, bold citrus aroma is redolent of tangerine, lime, grapefruit and apricot. Big and boozy, as expected. Clean and crisp throughout. Black pepper notes on the backend. Slightly sticky palate in the long, bitter finish. Amazing!

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2023 On tap at Pete’s in Danville. Won annual lotto pick for 10oz pour. Excellent old school WC original. Like the Elder you don’t feel the high gravity(11%) until a little later which is fortunate because it’s easy to drink!

UPDATED: JUL 21, 2022 1 pint bottle, bottled 03/22/22, shared by Rob, many thanks! Golden, clear body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, white head. Aroma of grapefruit, earth, passion fruit, biscuit, pine, resin, slight alcohol. Tastes pretty similar. Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes warm, medium bitter, moderate sweet, zesty, a bit piney, with some tropical fruits, biscuit. Very tasty. Classic west coast TIPA, very well balanced, not too heavy or alcoholic for the ABV. The character isn't that different to the Elder, just a bit more sweet body. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 5 / 17

UPDATED: APR 2, 2022 Thanks Greg for sharing this. Great to finally try it. Fresh. Piney hops. Medium sweet and resinous good.

UPDATED: MAR 27, 2022 Finally got to try this beer! Clear medium yellow pour, nice piney sweet aroma and minimal carbonation. Flavor is pleasant blend of sweet and slightly bitter hops and finishes with a great lingering mild bitterness and warmth.
