Simply one of the most pungent, resinous, IIPAs I have enjoyed to date. Big juicy flavors of pineapple, bright citrus, and a sweet creamy oaty malt bill. This is a fantastic offering once again these guys are worth seeking out, trading for, and visiting.

Had this on 2018-12-30 in Columbia, PA and again on 2019-10-20 near Pittsburgh, PA from 16oz , both canned on 2018-12-07.
A - Quite-hazy-orange with a 2-finger pillowy-white head and excellent lace
S - Hop bud forward with an emphasis on dank, grass and herbal. Then peach, pineapple and Honey Nut Cheerios. Sweet and pleasant smelling.
T - Hop forward on the flavor too with some pine and herbal sharpness. There's a pretty good amount of lightly-toasted Italian bread with apricot butter sweetness. This yields quickly to vegetal/herbal/pine/pepper flavors and a dollop of apricot and grapefruit flesh. Finishes dry with significant-but-not-over-the-top-long-lasting bitterness and abundant hop bud flavor.
M - Medium-heavy body and light-medium carbonation. Resinous and prickly, then very dry.
O - This one is hopped to the max. It's got characteristics of a NEIPA blended with a tongue-scrapper West Coast IPA; finding a compromise in-between with the feel and bitterness. No question about this one leaving a lasting hop-forward flavor on your palate.
Note: When I had this same batch again on 2019-10-20, I liked it better that when I first had it. I would have then raised my taste score from 4.0 to 4.25 (pushing the overall to 4.21) because the significant dankness had faded; bringing it more into my wheelhouse. I'm leaving the taste rating at 4.0 since that was my initial reaction to it when fresh.

Absolutely beautiful. Really nice head. Aromas of peach explode from it. The taste is a bit more subdued. While it smells like a ripe juicy peach it tastes much more like am I ripe peach. Honestly that is still a delicious flavor in the this beer but not quite as exciting as the aromas led me to expect. Overall an awesome beer. As my first Dancing Gnome beer it has me quite excited to try more and see what they are capable of.
