only got a nip of this as tap ran out but this was solid and drinkable IPA. HF makes too shelf brews, add this to list. Will seek out again, well done.

Half pour at Pizza Boy. Hazy goldenrod pour, silky white head. Fruity, savory, grassy aroma. Taste is soft and sweet, white pepper, floral, orange peel. Sublime. Dry finish with a lingering bite.

Solid IPA - came in a six pack purchsed at the brewery itself. Pours a hazy bright gold color with a finger of creamy white head. Solid lacing and a good beer.

Poured from a 12 oz can into a stemmed tulip glass.
Pours a hazy bright gold color with a finger of creamy white head. The head leaves a crown of lacing as it settles into a thin sheet.
The aroma brings notes of guava, fresh oranges, peach, and overripe mango. There's definitely some mixed berries and subtle tartness with a strong, spicy garlic note on the back.
The flavor belays the aroma a bit, bringing notes of pineapple, peach, orange rind, and mangoes with some subtle hints of lemon, black tea, and bubblegum. Finishes earthy, grassy and piney with a nice pale malt backbone.
The feel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Very soft and smooth with a relatively dry finish.
Overall, this is a great IPA and a wonderful showcase of the mosaic hop. It's well-balanced and extremely drinkable.
