Money beer. Beautiful semi-opaque orange. Fabulous hops and very flowery and earthy, some citrus. Nice and sweet. Powerful. Lingers. Wonderful.

Sampled at the Savor DC event. Cloudy, copper orange body with a cloudy white head. Aroma of tropical fruits and some pine. Flavor is all bitter citrus, pine, spice and some lurking malty sweetness. Sticky on the tongue but still very drinkable.

(Savor, draft) Medium beige head atop hazy light amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit, orange, some pine/pineapple, light cattiness. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some orange, light alcohol. Medium-full body, some resin, lightly sticky.

Aggressive hopping and a full bodied, bittersweet, vegetal hop presence. Bitter throughout, once the palate recovers from the huge hop bite, there is a soapy, piney finish as the beer goes down. Looks great in the glass, with a lasting, sticky lacing.

Draft sample pours a hazy orange. Fruity mandarin orange and crystalline sugar nose, and the flavor is also expectionally sweet and sugary/gritty. Candied alcohol and messy unfermented sugars, but the worst thing is the body tends to fall quite thin in the back. Boozy for 9% ABV, and also too sweet, but at the very least it’s all hops and little malt character.

Great orange color, minimal white head. Great pine, hop resin aroma. Belgin yeasty character to the flavor which is hop dominated. Biter ending.

Honey gold body with a small head of large bubbles. Aroma of tart piney hop. Very tart and absolutely full of hops. Pleasantly non-complex. It is just in your face hop. A hop lover’s paradise.

Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition, on tap. I’d buy this once a week if it were sold here in Mizzou. Super flora, wonderful aroma, nice hops. Like the other hop clones: Hop Slam, Hop Wallop, this one is great and refreshing.
