Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance that had a glossy burnt orange color. Slight transparency. Finger’s worth of foamy head. Mild speckled lace. The aroma had some sweet orange to lemon pulp over some citrus rind shaping around some sweet apricot and then a light malt backbone. The flavor blended the hops to the malts very nicely, sweet with a nice bitterness. Blends well into the aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this one sat sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionable feel about. Good carbonation. ABV felt fine. Enough abrasive harshness from the hops. Overall, nicely done AIPA worthy of having again.

 

 

 

 

 

This one pours a pretty hazy dark orange, with a small head, and a good amount of lacing.

Smells like tangerine, some mango, a bit of grapefruit, and fresh baked bread.

This is a lot better than I've heard from some people. It's got a really nice crusty and bready malt backbone, with a pretty big hop blast- the fruits mentioned above are all there. It's well balanced, and super drinkable.

This is medium bodied, with that richness and fullness of body that accompanies many NE-style IPAs.

I really dug this one- it's better than some of the recent Mastermind batches.

 

Pours a mild, hazy orange hue with a frothy head into my glass. Canned 9/14/16. Citrus and baked bread dominate the nose. Has a passionfruit feel to it with baked bread in the background. Relaxed finish with only a touch of bitterness. Not quite as good as Hyzer Flip, which was released for the 2014 Green Mountain Championship.

 

 

 

 

 

Light orange color, foamy white head, orange and mango on the nose and palate. Slightly sweet, with Medium mouthfeel, and nice oily hop lingering finish.
