A - Pours a hazy tan/light to medium orange in color with a light head that dies quickly to an even white lacing ring, mellow carbonation.
S - Big aromatic nose that wreaks of big ripe juicy mango, pineapple, sweet grapefruit, all resinous and drowns out the malt base. There's also an alcohol effervescence that's noticeable.
T - Matches up with the nose: Lots of resin and tropical fruit oils with a pepper spice - sweet ruby grapefruit bitterness, mango, bitter oranges, and is hop forward but as the glass warms up the light malt comes through a little more to help balance things out.
M - Light medium body and leaves a bitter sweet peppery grapefruit finish that lingers for many minutes.
O - Another great IPA from Hill Farmstead.

A very good IPA but really stunned it scored 100. Seems like BA is throwing out 100’s like candy to kids at Halloween.
Definitely a very good IPA with a citrus and a little sour flavor but still smooth. Again a really good IPA but just not top notch like a Heady.

Had on tap at Rivercrest in Astoria NY. Deep yellow haze, really nice white leaving on the glass. Citrus, dank, resins nose… orange peel, peach. Taste is huge waves of hops, light orange peel bitterness, cracker breadiness in the background… just delicious
