Golden tangerine in appearance with a crisp white foam. Sticky, tropical fruit aroma followed by a dank and resinous flavor. A Hop-oil’d and dry-hopped bomb with relatively low bitterness.

Poured from can into a pint glass
Appearance –The beer pours a deep colored and lightly hazed amber color with a one finger head of pure white foam. The head fades rather fast leaving just a trace of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is strongest of some dank and musty smells as well as some aromas of cigars, grass, and a bit of hay. Overall the aroma is rather dank, but there are some other notes of fruit, being of a citrus and melon like nature, which balance out the aroma and make it sorta intriguing overall…
Taste – The taste begins with a very bready flavor with tons of thick doughy flavors mixed within. There is also a decent hit of a tropical fruit and citrus fruit right up front, which with the bready, create a base flavor for the brew. As the taste advances from the start, one detects flavors of some yeast and a decent showing of herb and floral hop. With a little bit of alcohol, an almost medicinal herbal taste, and a hit of dank earthy hop at the very end, one is left with a very malty and very dank and robust taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is super thick and chewy with a carbonation level that is on the average to lower side. I am not sure that accentuating all the dank and chewy tastes, which don’t seem to weld very well in this brew, is the best for the taste profile.
Overall – It was fun to try, but this was far too malty and unbalanced, for me at least. Others may enjoy it, so give it a try, but this is one I will not likely come back to…

It looks... beautiful, the body colored like golden hay, hazy and opaque. Crisp white head leaves lovely lacing.
Flavors are floral and fruity, not very bitter. Very thick and chewy mouthfeel.
Overall, it's awesome... Kinda like an imperial new England IPA?
