Can from Jeff, thanks for the hookup!
Hazy bright lemon orange color with a thin white head that slowly dissipates. Tropical orange and bits of pine and grass. sweet bready backbone. Pretty nice beer.

16oz can dated 9/8/22.
Pours clear gold with a chill haze and a half-inch head. Retention and lacing is moderate. Grape and peach in the nose. Aromatics are unexpectedly subdued. Medium bodied with a crisp, almost tacky mouthfeel. White grape, dank resin, and faint garlic on the palate. Finishes with a firm bitterness, light malt, and lingering dank grape must.

On tap at Armsby Abby.
L -- Golden orange with the usual HF fluffy, sticky, white head
S -- What a lovely showcase of Galaxy. Not too sweaty/oniony, just tons of tropical fruit, creamy citrus flesh, and sweet floral. Doesn't pop out of the glass like Trillium's galaxy-forward offerings
T -- While the pineapple and orange sherbert notes of Galaxy are definitely there, there's also a decent amount of this interesting nelson-like white grape character, and also a hint of mosaic-lile cattiness. Oat forward malt bill makes for a neutral sweetness
F -- I love the Hill Farmstead mineralic mouthfeel, both tannic and soft. Fluffy
O -- Favorite of the single hopped Hill Farmstead DIPAs
93/100

A - Dark golden orange color with moderately dense, bright white lacing that's very creamy looking.
S - Dank passion fruit, peach, and citru with dank, spicy citrus rind on the nose.
T - Dank citrus and peach take center stage on this one followed with pineapple, spicy citrus rind, and some peppery notes.
M - Big medium body with a soft, smooth texture
O - As expected, this is a pretty fantastic D-IPA. Not a 100 (IMO) but it's up there!

This is very close to a perfect IPA in my mind.
Great representation of Galaxy hops.
Nice white head. Sticks around.
Smells like candied pineapple and bubble gum.
Taste has the pineapple on the front but a nice bitter backbone.
Body isn’t too thick which makes it remarkably drinkable

can into glass
Canned 8 days prior to review.
Medium thick, frothy white head, that quickly thins out. Vivid, cloudy, medium orange color, with much intricate lacing to start off with. The aroma has a candied malt, guava, pineapple, a little mixed sweet spice underneath. Flavors of candied tangerine peel, guava, passion fruit, with a bit of help from some medium toast malt, in the background, to fill out the body and some of the flavors. There is a bright effervescence to it, as well. The finish is largely a mixed citrus peel glow, then a moderate bite.

Had this at Blackback Pub in Waterbury. Truly an outstanding beer! Excellent color, smell and feel. I wish I was able to drink more than 3 of these… so damn good

Growler. Cloudy yellow pour with a white head. Tangy citrus hops dominate the beer. Straight forward with minimalistic malt presence. Clean and refreshing. God body and mouthfeel.
