From 07/07/11 notes. 750ml growler shared by Thorpe429; thanks Mike, always interested in trying more beers from these guys. Poured into a Fantome tulip.
a - Pour a hazy yellow-golden color with one inch of white head and moderate carbonation evident. Light lacing on the glass, looks pretty nice.
s - Smells of tropical fruits, citrus hops, pine hops, and light floral notes. Lots of fruit, I found it pretty enjoyable.
t - Tastes same as the nose, with some moderate bitterness. Pine hops, citrus hops, and some tropical fruits.
m - Medium body and moderate carbonation. Moderate bitterness up front and then especially in the aftertaste.
o - Overall I thought this was a really nice DIPA from Hill Farmstead, though I personally prefer Ephraim. Would certainly have it again.

Always love when I get a chance to drink some Hill Farmstead and as usual, it did not disappoint. Soft with great aroma and flavour from the hops that was easy drinking and went down way too fast.

Can from Jeff, thanks for the hookup!
Hazy bright lemon orange color with a thin white head that slowly dissipates. Tropical orange and bits of pine and grass. sweet bready backbone. Pretty nice beer.

16oz can dated 9/8/22.
Pours clear gold with a chill haze and a half-inch head. Retention and lacing is moderate. Grape and peach in the nose. Aromatics are unexpectedly subdued. Medium bodied with a crisp, almost tacky mouthfeel. White grape, dank resin, and faint garlic on the palate. Finishes with a firm bitterness, light malt, and lingering dank grape must.

On tap at Armsby Abby.
L -- Golden orange with the usual HF fluffy, sticky, white head
S -- What a lovely showcase of Galaxy. Not too sweaty/oniony, just tons of tropical fruit, creamy citrus flesh, and sweet floral. Doesn't pop out of the glass like Trillium's galaxy-forward offerings
T -- While the pineapple and orange sherbert notes of Galaxy are definitely there, there's also a decent amount of this interesting nelson-like white grape character, and also a hint of mosaic-lile cattiness. Oat forward malt bill makes for a neutral sweetness
F -- I love the Hill Farmstead mineralic mouthfeel, both tannic and soft. Fluffy
O -- Favorite of the single hopped Hill Farmstead DIPAs
93/100

A - Dark golden orange color with moderately dense, bright white lacing that's very creamy looking.
S - Dank passion fruit, peach, and citru with dank, spicy citrus rind on the nose.
T - Dank citrus and peach take center stage on this one followed with pineapple, spicy citrus rind, and some peppery notes.
M - Big medium body with a soft, smooth texture
O - As expected, this is a pretty fantastic D-IPA. Not a 100 (IMO) but it's up there!

This is very close to a perfect IPA in my mind.
Great representation of Galaxy hops.
Nice white head. Sticks around.
Smells like candied pineapple and bubble gum.
Taste has the pineapple on the front but a nice bitter backbone.
Body isn’t too thick which makes it remarkably drinkable

can into glass
Canned 8 days prior to review.
Medium thick, frothy white head, that quickly thins out. Vivid, cloudy, medium orange color, with much intricate lacing to start off with. The aroma has a candied malt, guava, pineapple, a little mixed sweet spice underneath. Flavors of candied tangerine peel, guava, passion fruit, with a bit of help from some medium toast malt, in the background, to fill out the body and some of the flavors. There is a bright effervescence to it, as well. The finish is largely a mixed citrus peel glow, then a moderate bite.
