Actually had this back in 2019; notes were that it's piny from that year.

 

 

 

12 oz tap

Pours hazy pear golden, white lacing for a head.

Aroma of zesty citrus, bready malts, herbal tea and earthy hops.

Flavor is of citrus zest, tropical fruit, sourdough bread malts, earthy and zesty hops.

Medium body, tingly carbonation on the tongue.

Very nice and refreshing hazy IPA. Flavor is good and drinks very clean. Body is a tad thin for my preference. Overall excellent, definitely worth trying.

 

Appearance: Arrives hazy and honey colored with a modest head; a few clumps of lacing

Smell: The juicy tones of papaya, peach and pineapple merge with tangerine and a hint of banana bread

Taste: Bright and juicy, up front, with pineapple, peach and passionfruit forward, with some tangerine in the middle; after the swallow there is a hint of graham cracker/banana bread that adds a different dimension

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation

Overall: A real twist on the style in the malt profile that makes this one stand out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to JLindros for sharing this growler.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice milkshake hue golden hue with a one finger head that fades to leave light wisps.

S - Aromas of juicy citrus, oranges, some dank spicy earthy hops, lightly creamy pith. Very faint tropical notes.

T - Taste is similar to the nose, big citrus notes, dank spicy earthy hops, lightly pith. Little tropical notes, faint brightness.

M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, creamy and fluffy.

O - Overall this was a very solid ipa, really nice citrus notes and a good fluffy mouthfeel.

Serving Type: growler

Growler thanks to roguekielbasa (Reddit), was going to save to share with rudzud, but I can't wait, plus I should be getting another one soon. Really excited to try it.

Growler filled to the brim, pours a big fluffy creamy almost 1 finger head that fades at a med pace, plenty of sticky lacing, murky milk-shake tan orange color

nose erupts with awesomeness, loads of citrus, orange juice, orange cream, tangerine, grapefruit pith, also tons of tropical, pineapple, mango, papaya, other citrus fruits, fair amount of grapefruit, a bit of creamy malt, and is that banana too?

Taste starts with lush creamy wheat/oat mash, creamy malts with a touch of wheat flavor, big hops again very juicy and soft mouth, loads of tropical, mango puree, papaya, pineapple juice, fresh pineapple too, citrus again with a little orange cream, tangerine, peaches and cream as well, back into a touch of grapefruit, a bit of pith, a touch of bitterness, and again some banana somehow, reminds me a lot of those dole juices that were like pineapple orange mango banana juice with pulp, delicious! Finishes drier, a touch of alcohol tingle otherwise you'd never know it was there, lingering of all the juices.

Mouth is med bod, soft creamy juicy mouth, fluffy carbonation too.

Overall this was incredible, I'd put this right up there with all the great Tree house, Hill Farmstead, maybe better than any Trilliums even, this was incredible! I want to drink this all day.
