Cracking good. Galaxy and simcoe really play well off each other here with a citrus punch and a laced bitter note at each taste. 8.1% but really drinks down very easily as per the name you can easily see the great finesse in their design on this.

Punchy, quite tart with a big lactic range. Backend is full Riesling light grape. Low overal funk complexity but well rounded and composed

1 year matured this really pulls a great rye barrel note, tons of molasses and chocolate. Probably near prime. Thanks Brenton A. !

Yep!

First taste of Weaver Hollow and very impressed . Study in hop profiles staged to mix ferm this highlights nz taiheke. Nose of light barnyard and taste drives a swelled lime/ lime zest punch. Hops pronounced flavor mutes the oak a touch

Bewilderingly unexpected. Aged on Spanish cedar spirals the nose bites with a really enjoyable spicy-ness. Taste is awesome biting English marmalade with interplay of earthy wood notes and creaminess seeming from the Brett B. Dumbfounded how great this is

Really happy to see these guys up their game. Excellent near top tier work here. Bursting nose and taste of lapping waves of tangerine and over ripe melon. Raw oats add an appreciable heft. Really excited to see what these guys bring 2020

Easily the best wine hybrid I’ve ever had and in the top 5 beers for the year. Spectacular grape must with an edge of funk on the nose. Taste is cascading layers of complex blending notes of oak, crisp chardonnay, tart apple, and a effervescent dryness.

Amarillo giving a nice classic west coast hop punch. Clean and well executed

Nose is white grape and lime. Taste is a strong tangerine and pith. Lacks any sweet notes, just a hair more bitter than preferable for the style. Really would implore a stronger addition of citra to balance out the beer. Bodies also a little light.

Purchased at Green Cheek Beer Company

Really no presence of the full roster: grapefruit, lime, funk, or any complementary dryness. Odd finish with weird smoky elements. The idea for this is great, but the finished version needs more work and I’d change to the golden base of type O positive

Low carb, nose is light herbs, taste faintly tart with big lavender swings in the finish. Soo much lavender makes it feel wildly unbalanced. The finish of this beer never drys out it and it really falls apart due to that

Purchased at Smog City West

Really watery body, carb very low almost still. Taste very pithy citrus. Medicinal finish that’s not pleasant and lingers. Basically no complexity but also no balance of a good dry table beer.

Two parts of the normal trinity citra and mosaic but adding Wai-iti brings some unique qualities. Giant nose of papaya and lime. Oddly a section of the mid flavor portion seems missing then rounds out with nice heavy body finish and light bitterness.

Fantastic punchy tartness that never overwhelms. I swear there was a whole lime tree in this but even after asking multiple times I was assured there was only lavender. Appears to be unique Combo but it’s delicious berry lime-aid tart
