This is another great beer from a great brewery! I had this on tap at the brewery. Great color, nice aroma, and a great taste! This beer is highly recommended!

From 09/19/15 notes. 16oz. pour at Fool's Gold in NYC during Zwanze Day in a pint glass.
Pours a hazy golden-orange color with one inch of bright white head and moderate carbonation evident. Citrus hops, pine hops, resin, grapefruit, tropical notes, and floral notes. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Some booze in the taste for sure, but not really bitter.
Overall a really good, and dangerous beer. Def taste boozy but not 11.5% at all....I liked it a lot.

Growler filled at the brewery on September 12. This does not drink like 11.5%, so be careful. Huge, incredible hop aroma and massive hop flavor to match. Doesn't quite reach the level of All Green Everything, but really good.

Giant fruity aroma with a biting, spicy finish. Usually when IPAs get this strong, they come out sweet and thick. This is by no means thin, but there's a bit less body. The hips are so rich, it's a lovely sipping beer. The floral and earthy pine is all over the place along with tangerine and cracked black pepper. So much hops.

Served at WF Columbus Circle in a pilsner-like 12- ounce glass.
Arrives with a thin head that quickly becomes a sticky film. The body is a cloudy amber color with gold at its edges. Looks like a meal. 4
Blend of onion and garlic and pungent pineapple. A bit funky to my liking but I get down. 4
The taste reminds me a bit of a bigger Hop Showers in that it has the same biscuity malt flavor, unripe mango and grapefruit zest, even some pineapple. But it also has much more of an onion/garlic flavor. Orange juice trickles in as does a bit of a boozy note. 4
It's big. Very big. A slight spiciness and resin and dankness in much heftier ways along with a full mouthfeel and lively carbonation. I find it less bitter and more spicy/tingly than anything, although there is a caramel smoothness that keeps things from getting overwhelming. 4
This is a good beer but I'd rather drink 2 Hop Showers than one of this. Hehe. Just heavy and aggressive for my tastes and loses some nuance and subtlety in the process.

The beer hits of juicy grapefruit and citrus peel up front. Then onto a medium plus bready malt and caramel sweetness. The beer then transitions to a resinous bitterness and dank "chemical" finish. Hints of alcohol come through. Definitely tasted inferior its popular sibling, All Green Everything.

Other Half is really king right now! Nose for days, tons of fruity sweetness with a strong presence of citrus. Both really shine through. I had no idea this beer was 11.5% while I was drinking it, so much flavor that the alcohol is very well hidden.
