3.8 6/13/18: $6.50 16 oz draft pour into pint glass at The Garage Bar & Sandwiches. Cloudy orange pour, thin white lacing. Strong bitter hops aroma. Taste a mix of bitter hops and balanced with sweet citrus. Mild bitterness, dry, solid mouth presence. Overall good offering.
3.7 CBC2016S01, pours clear orange with a small head, aroma of orange, caramel, onion, flavor is bitter with orange, lemon, medium bodied
4.0 Canned, 473 ml at Beer and Cheese, NYC. Nice hazy orange colour, white head. Hoppy, citrus, apricot, solid bitterness in finish. Some sweetness, caramel malts and bit of sweet fruit/marmalade. Medium bodied.
4.2 Pours hazy rust orange with white head. Heavy fruit malt and hop aroma. Taste of fruits, caramel malts, citrus hops and pine. Heavy body with a lingering bitter hop and malty afteraste.
3.9 16 ounce can from Urban Barley in NYC. Medium gold color color. Rocky beige head. Big piney hop nose. Notes of caramel. Sweet toasted malt flavor. Citrus and pine hops dominate. Smooth and flavorful with candylike malt notes in finish. Well balanced and drinkable. The 8% ABV is barely noticeable.
4.4 Clear medium copper with a nice white head. The aroma has a familiar pine resin, overripe orange, and floral character I can only assume is Simcoe and Amarillo hops. The flavor adds some light caramel malt, and some nice malty, slightly toasted notes. The balance is very nice and finishes with some lingering bitterness. Very tasty stuff.
4.0 Near clear orange pour with a lasting off white head. Tons of sticky lacing coats the glass. Strong orange and pineapple aroma with a hint of grass. Taste is candy orange, pineapple, grass, and citrus zest. Citrus aftertaste. Medium body. Great beer.
4.1 Can. Poured a hazy golden color with an off white head. Pine, citrus, floral and hoppy.
3.4 Can at DukeFest. Pours clear orange gold, white head. Aroma is caramel malt, pine, citrus, rind. Flavor is sweet malts, caramel, pine, earth, bitter rind. Medium/ full bodied, old school west coast malty
3.5 Clear clean golden orange, light white head. Passion fruit, grapefruit. Bitter, stronger malt. Oily. Medium body. Good.
4.0 Pours a hazy golden with a medium white head that slowly recedes. Heavily floral and tropical, the nose finds mango, grapefruit, peach, orange, and pine, all of which being about equal in potency. There is a fair amount of bitterness with a mild sweet touch to this one. Grapefruit easily stands out most here. Pine is rather strong as well, with lesser amounts of orange, resin, grassy and floral hops, and minor caramel. Short grapefruit finish. Light to medium in body and with a bit of a sticky texture. This is really easy drinking and doesn’t give any hint that its 8%. Very enjoyable.
4.3 "You’re a Daisy if you do", and I do, I mean Damn Straight this one Rocks. Excellent in its color and head, scentilating in its aroma, and a f*ckin awesome taste. "I’m your Huckleberry, that’s just my game."
4.1 Rating from notes 11/2016. Draft to mini taster at Local Option pour clear avg yellow with thin white head. Nose big grass, resin,mango, citrus rind. Taste moderate bitter up front then big hop similar to nose. Late palate light grainy malt. Pleasing after taste.
3.3 Pours amber and clear with a thin ring of white head. Aroma is floral with orange citrus. Flavor is slightly bitter but balanced with the sweet malt.
3.7 Associated, Bushwick can: pours hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruits and the like. Taste is not very bitter. Quite fruity. I thought I remembered daisy cutter being more bitter... hmm. Easy drinking.
3.8 Overripe tropical fruits, mango, papaya. Clear gold, small, frothy, white head. Medium bitter. More bitter citrus fruits, unripe tangerine, orange, tropical fruits, passion fruit, zesty, bitter, soft carbonation, medium bodied. Decent IIPA, nice aroma but light in palate. Keg at MBCC Yellow Session, Copenhagen.
3.6 Thanks Tim. Bomber to tulip, the appearance was a rugged burnt orange/copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Slight messy lace. The aroma had some orange marmalade up front with some citrusy and earthy hops. Clean malt base. The flavor was moderately sweet through the prior mentioned aromas and bled into the aftertaste just as I thought it would - malty with a quick dry sweet sort of finish. The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation and ABV felt fine. Fairly smooth along my tongue. Overall, pretty good DIPA, a bit "old school" but worked for me.
3.6 Tap. Pours clear golden orange with a small white head. Aromas of citrus, sweet malty, orange, mandarin. Taste is sweet malty, orange, bready, bitter hops, citrus, mandarin, light melony.

3.4 MBCC17; hoppy forward aroma but not too fruity, rather piney, resinous; taste is pine, resin, some spiciness; creamy oily texture with medium carbonation; very drinkable but rather standard
3.7 0,05l from tap at MBCC yellow session shared with / by the crew. yellow almost clear color, small white head. smells of mango, passion fruit, bit papery, grassy. decent smell but not overly convincing. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of mango, passion fruit, some oats, grass, light caramel, light pines. finishes lightly bitter with notes of oats, pines and some mango. loved the taste, but smell was not that good. overall decent beer. 6, 4, 8, 4, 15
3.7 Tap @ MBCC. Clear yellow with medium head. Strong citrus with grass. Grass, hay and citrus with a hint of alcohol. A very nice double pale ale
3.9 (On tap @ CBC 2016 Yellow Session, Copenhagen) Nice dark gold, with a huge eggshell head. Nose is generally hoppy, on the musky tropical fruit and grass end of the spectrum, notes of guava, pine, fresh grass, a little passion fruit, with some semi-sweet pale malt in behind supporting, and a bit of a creamy sweet note almost like there was lactose added. Flavour is underripe guava and guava skin, grassy hops, a bit of citrus pith, light pale malt with a hint of grain, on the dry side for a DIPA and almost mineral, well balanced, with a fairly bitter pith and grass finish. Medium bodied, slightly above average carb. Nice palate cleanser after a whole spate of sours and stouts, but not a palate wrecker.
4.0 Can into a snifter showing moderately filtered orange with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows champagne yeast, malts, and light floral hops. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Light floral flavors of champagne yeast and hops with a strong malt back bone. Nice and solid. Pine resin bitterness on the finish.
3.8 Pale golden pour with a thin soapy white head and light lacing .... aroma of citrusy orange, grapefruit with some tropical notes classic daisy cutter aroma and lemon ... taste is of orange, grapefruit and some booze with a rindy lemon, tropical notes and bitter dry hops .... slick and oily .... malty and lightly boozy .... finish is citrusy with lemon, grapefruit and orange .... solid classic and a bit on the warming boozy side
4.0 Very light for the abv great tropical fruit explosion good dry finish. Dangerous and crushable.
4.0 Can thanks to Rubio. Pours clear gold with a solid white head that lasts Simcoe and Amarillo hops. Light mouthfeel, perfect carbonation.

3.7 1 pt can from New Beer Distributors, shared with Barry & bierkonijn from De Bierkoning. Hazy golden yellow color. Frothy and sticky off white head. Aroma’s: herbal hops, hints of sweet fruit.

3.0 Draft. Pours dark gold with white head. Tropical fruit (grapefruit) upfront with a dry finish. Less body than expected.
