A: This poured a cloudy gold with moderate white head.
S: It smelled like grapefruit and pineapple and floral hops, with some minerals and mango.
T: It tasted like citrus zest and minerals, with some herbal hops and green mango. It had a clean bitter aftertaste.
M: It was watery with moderate carbonation. Decent body.
D: This was a strong IPA with bold scent and taste. I wish there was more fruit in the taste instead of just bitterness, but it was still clean and crisp. The body was ok, and the finish was smooth, so it was easy to drink. Not earth shattering but still very enjoyable.

Pours into an impy nonic a chill hazed dull light to medium golden with a frothy bone white head that leaves a broken ring of lace behind as it settles pretty quickly.Love the floral and citrusy aromas,very fresh with an underlying caramel/biscuit sweetness as well.Sugary sweetness and tropical fruits dominate the palate,a bit of pine resin comes in the finish to give it a nice edge.It's sweet like many of the style but there is a great hop complexity to it as well.

Light gold to light copper in appearance with slight haze. 1 2 1/2 finger white, chunky head recedes leaving light lacing.

Redolent of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit with a syrupy malt backbone and a faint mustiness, along with some doughy bread.

Tastes of light sweet malt with grassy, tartly citric, and tropical hops.

Medium full in body and lightly crisp, but silky smooth with a sting of alcohol.

I love a good hoppy brew, and this one doesn't disappoint. Rather syrupy with a hint of cloy, but while it's a sipper, it's not difficult to drink.

Medium gold with a really good metallic hue. Smell and taste are good with a lightly tropical, mango, and pine hop note. Medium bodied with a very dry finish. Resin sweetness to it. A pretty hoppy beer.

Traded for this somewhat recently, along with another beer from Hardywood Park. I didn't know much about these guys before I had this beer but this was one of the more interesting and complex brews that I've had recently, which only adds to the intrigue factor here. This was easy to drink but at the same time, so complex that I had to take my time figuring this out as I let it warm up.

Interesting pour to this as the beer had a goldenrod hue to it with a *lot* of sediment floating in the liquid; but then again, this wasn't dated so I had no idea how old the bottle was. Plenty of head topped this beer off which was retained in the form of thick, dripping rings of lacing along the side of my pint glass. Plenty of onion, scallions, white cheddar, garlic, and funk in the nose as all of those were in the taste as well. Some mild citrus juice, floral hops, and grass were found in the taste, which rounded out a very odd flavor profile. Dry with a juicy mouthfeel, complex with a simple result, weak but underlying potent, this beer was full of contradictions but at the same time, everything meshed well together. Tons of citrus, spice, and earth combined for an odd result that was puzzling as it was pleasing and when the mildly slick mouthfeel and moderate carbonation were taken into consideration, resulted in a brew that was as introspective as any that I've ever quaffed.

There was booze in this, to be sure, but it never felt strong as the rogue's gallery of flavors were at the forefront here. Never have 4 hops been so divergent in nature but convergent when push came to shove. The bite, slickness, and depth all worked together but that was only for me. I could see how this beer would polarize others but I'll give Hardywood Park credit for going out on a limb. The result was wonderful but unexpected, which was not a bad thing given how many beers seem to mimic others. Worth a go for the anomaly that this truly was.
