Enjoyed on tap at the Solemn Oath beer dinner at Wild Monk. Served in a snifter.

A: Pours a slightly hazy apricot color with a fluffy white head forming on the pour. It receded to a thin ring that left some splotchy lace down the glass.

S: Citrus fruit and big tropical fruit influences going on. Pineapple and mango mostly with a nice citrus zest as well. Very light sweetness from the malts hits you on the end, but it's a hop bomb.

T: The taste is more of the same. Pineapple and mango with a small smidge of grapefruit. Slightly sweet cracker malts with a pithy bitterness on the finish.

M: Medium bodied with a nice medium carbonation level. Smooth with a clean finish.

O: The galaxy hops were a nice addition and added a wonderful tropical fruit aroma to the beer. I will definitely be having this again whenever I'm able to find it.

(Served in a 16 oz. pint glass)

A- This beer pours a hazy deep golden yellow with a thick white head and a lazy carbonation of big bubbles.

S- The nice full green citrus aroma had some nice woody hop notes in the finish.

T- The nice juicy slightly pungent hops burst from the glass with green citrus zest flavor and more ripe citrus finish. There is very little bitterness and a light toasted malt note comes though underneath. The bright hops flavor lingers for a moment after each sip.

M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a nice fizz that enhances the hop finish.

O- This beer has a nice full hop profile with some good depth and lots of drinkability.

Served on tap at Bangers and Lace. Apperance is a cloudy orange with a thin clinging layer of bone white head. Heavy lacing left behind. Nose is full of candied fruit, predominantly mango and tangerine, a touch of apricot. Not much in the way of malts. Taste starts fruity and sweet. Fresh hops provide a touch of bitterness and some floral character. Not much in the way of malt backbone. The end is bitter and has a touch of caramel. Mouthfeel is heavie than normal with low to moderate carbonation. Nice display of fresh dry hops, just not much to balance it. A promising brew from a new local brewery. I will try there other offerings.

Served in a Stone shaker pint glass at Bad Apple.

Another stop on the Second Annual Bachelor Party Free-For-All! This one pours a hazy golden straw topped by a half-finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises orange zest, grapefruit zest, coriander, light pineapple, and a touch of sweet biscuit. The taste brings in more of the same, though the fruit comes across a smidgen rind-i-er, and some wheat seems to have been added for the sake of it. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and an ever-so-slightly grainy feel. Overall, a very nice, fruit-forward IPA. Good times.
