FAR AWAY ACROSS THE FIELD there is a golden IIPA with a tropical / bright citrus / mild pine and smooth / soft lightly sweet malt that will take you home home again.

Very hazy orange gold pour with a fluffy head. Robust tropical and citrus nose. Thoroughly NEIPA juicy--melon, tropical fruit and a subtle citrus bite, leavened with an underlying sweetness. Softly spoken, indeed! Loved the subtlety and the complexity. Would go out of my way to have this one again.

Draft at 19th Street Tap Room. Hazy orange golden with light, but thick fluffy head. Aroma is light citrus, and some savory notes. Taste brings a bit of juice, but also a hint of dank and some peppery flavors. Pretty complex, and enough to divert you attention from the fact that it's almost 9%.

Excellent head production and retention.
Very juicy aroma, tropical fruit-forward with some balancing citrus.
Very juicy on the palate. Flavor follows the nose, with a 67/33 split of tropical and citrus fruit flavors. Very little pine or resin. Tasting notes of pineapple, mango, papaya, orange, and grapefruit. Nice sweet malt support.
Creamy yet lively on the palate; an excellent presentation of the style.

A- hazy faded yellow with highlights of copper and greenish yellow. 2 finger suspended head that laces the pint beautifully.
S- lots of citrus like grapefruit, lemon and there are hints of vanilla.
F-lemon grapefruit and just citrus punch in the mouth. pine comes through on back end as well.
M- smooth and not as dry as an IPA usually is. the citrus hits the palate with flavor and the hops are juicy.
O- one of the best IPAs ive ever had to be honest. i want another.
