Dark yellow like colour. Lots of grapefruit hops in the aroma. Great malty taste with a blast of yummy hops.

Deep urine yellow color. Fresh, floral, grapefruit nose. Warming hops, finishing moderately bitter but really nice along the way.

beer pours a pale, severely chill-hazed gold with a thinnish white head that retains poorly and leaves minimal lace. grassy, resiny nose with some citric undertones, and some light malt toastiness. flavor starts with just a slip ofmalt sweetness that is heavily stepped on by some big, fairly clean bitterness. rather dry. fairly nice

Thick copper color with big dirty white head. Nice and big hoppy nose. Flavor was big and hoppy, then it just flowed into an alcohol finish. It takes a few oz to mellow out, but it really grows on you.

This dirty blonde ale poured with a miniscule off-white head. There is an initial bitter hoppy flavor with a maltier finish. Highly carbonated, but otherwise rather unremarkable.

Thanks to hopdog for the bottle, Mystery swap 2.0. Very cloudy pour, lots of citrus bite, lots of sourness, not easy to drink at all, very bitter, over carbonated, but not a bad beer, just a slow drinker!

22oz bomber. Hazy and golden orange. Moldy off-white head. Total lemon and pine nose. Sugary, almost jelly aromas. Amazing nose. Medium to full bodied with great complexity. Initial yeasty citrus tone. Great lingering bitternes. Bubblegum note. Nice palate. Touch grapefruit. Easy but with big edges. The bitterness and tingling hop crisp roll out the finish.

Cloudy yet bright tawny orange body. Small ghost of a head with a bright hoppy-malty nose. Refreshing floral, slightly citrus flavor. Mild cidery finish with notes of sticky candy.
