Pours a hazed golden amber. Nose seems to have apricots on it. Flavor is heavy with hops with the apricot present on the palate as well. Just as with other hop happy brews, you get that taste of hops lodged in the back of your mouth and it lingers. Feel is great. I get a silky smooth texture that slides over my tongue. Oh so drinkable. A hop lover and a craft brew lovers dream. Awesome beer.

Draft at Three Floyds. Poured clear amber in color with a two finger beige sticky head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet floral and citrus hops, with a nice caramel malt base. Tastes of sweet citrus and piney hops, with a nice caramel malt backbone. Great body, great hop character. Its always been a pleasure coming across this one.

Aroma: Strong hops, more piney than citric, balanced by worty malts, vanilla. Appearance: Deep clear amber, finger of off-white head, nice lace. Flavor: Strong coniferous hops, but with a perfumy floral bitter component. Malts are strongly worty, caramel and vanilla. Palate: Smooth carbonation, occasionally caramelly thick.

Pint glass on tap at Chumley’s in West Lafayette, IN. My first beer of the night and it has been quite a while since I have rated a beer so I really don’t know how many I have missed out on from rating. Whatever. Anyways, very citrus strong, more fruity than hoppy, but still very good and left a nice lacing on the glass.

I expected this to go jumping down the bunny trail with all the hopps. But damn, it’s really pleasant. Very critric, and refreshing but without the bitterness one would expect with a highly hopped beer. There’s enough malt to give it a really full body with a bit of a carmelly flavor. A fine beer

Great citrus aroma. Nice dark honey brown color on the pour. Wow! Hops without all the bitterness associated with this style. Excellent balanced flavor. Just a great beer overall - I will definitely be purchasing more of this brew. Plus what cool-looking art on the label!
