On tap at Center Street Pub in Schenectady, NY.
This one pours a hazed creamsicle orange, with a small head and lots of lacing.
Smells like tart grapefruit, orange cream, stone fruit, guava, and pineapple.
The fruit flavor here from the hops is interesting. It's mildly tart and super juicy, with slightly tart grapefruit and peach. There's also a ton of creamy orange and some pineapple, mango, and guava. This is pretty damn tasty. There's no malt character that I can discern.
This is medium bodied, pretty crisp, with a good level of carbonation.
This is my first beer from these guys and I'm definitely a fan.

Appearance: Arrives somewhat hazy, with an amber hue; impressive, creamy head with good stickage and streaky lacing
Smell: Sweet clementine orange with mango, pineapple and custard apple
Taste: Tropical fruit forward, with mango, pineapple and custard apple; clementine orange adds sweetness and a hint of bitterness, through the middle, with the tropical fruit flavors bringing home the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation
Overall: Never heard of this brewery but they have my attention now; first class

Super impressed with this one. First beer from Hudson Valley, but man can I tell that these guys are good.
L: Worst part of this beer. It's a hazy, almost dull orange with a light creamy head that disappears quickly.
S: Pine, white pepper, clementine and a tropics fruit I can't quick identify.
T: Mango, pineapple, grapefruit and just a hint of pine resin. Smooth malt finish.
F: Super soft and easy to drink. Would like a bit more carb but I'm not mad at it. Touch of booziness but it's a DIPA so I can't fault it for that.
O: World-class DIPA for sure. Really glad I tried it!
