Had on tap at the Kickstarter party.

Pours a smaller fizzy head, hazy murky mango orange yellow color.

Nose brings some hops, quite piney and sap like, little citrus rind and little fruity citrus notes, that's about it.

Taste brings more pine and sap, a weird fruity flavor, little orange rind and citrus, little spicy chewy hop, like a Chinook or magnum big spicy piney bitterness. Weird citrus thing I can't label, a pine pithy herbal citrus thing. Finish is bitter pine, little herbal spicy hop, more rind and chewy hop, quite bitter. Light phenolic booze late.

Mouth is med bod, decent carb, mild booze but mostly hidden.

Overall meh, pine sap, earthy, quite bitter, no real balance but at least the booze is hidden fairly well other than mild phenols. By no balance a mean decent hop bitterness but no malt to bring it to a nice enjoyable dipa.

Enjoyed at the brewery.

A - Poured into a tulip a hazy orange hue with a nice one finger head that fades slowly to leave a thin lacing.

S - Aromas of pine, light citrus, stronger malts, light orange. Hmmmm

T - Taste is similar to the nose. Pine sap, sweet malts, candy orange, light spicy hops, herbal tea, rather flat.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, not quite as bitter as I'd figured.

O - Overall this beer was another let down. Quite generic and not that assertive.
