3.8 Draft at Bru Craft. Cloudy orange pour with glossy foam. Big splashes of lace. The DDH adds a chalky fullness. Mango. Kumquat. Apricot. Pine. Thick, juicy, and a bit dank. Nice!

4.6 A very tasteful beer. A very good up front taste. The after taste is not an IPA after taste but a spicy after taste that isn't that pleasant.

4.1 16 oz can to half-pint glass, shared with the Mrs (canned on 08/06/19). Looks good for the style; a hazy pineapplish OJ with foamy eggshell head that dissipates slowly. Smells and tastes good too; loads of pineapple and OJ alongside a mildly to moderately bittersweet backbone. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied and moderately citrusy. Good beer.

3.9 Can pour into nonic pint glass from One Stop Market, Haverhill. Appearance is cloudy, yellow-orange juice, with decent sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width foamy white head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is initially really strong citrus/juice (can smell from a couple feet away) but once you stick your nose in it herb dominates with weaker citrus. Taste is strong initial arm-pitty herbal with second half lingering citrus, as aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation, mild, pleasant alcohol warmth and dry, crisp finish as taste. Overall, judging by the initial whiff, I expected a citra juice bomb, but was surprised by how herbal it was. Too herbal. A quality offering not complex and, for a Top 50 APA, I was expecting to be blown away.

4.2 Złociste całkowicie zamglone piwo z niezłą białą pianą. Aromat głównie owoców cytrusowych i mango, trochę chmielu. W smaku trochę owoców cytrusowych i tropikalnych, chmiel, lekka niezalegajaca goryczka. Rzeskie, orzeźwiające mega pijalne piwo. Nowa wersja ddh pseudo sue 6,8% alkoholu, ibu 45, butelka 0,65 l

4.1 Barwa pomarańczowa, piwo mętne. Aromat intesnywnie cytrusowy, lekkie nuty zielone w tle. Zaskakująco dużo ciała, soczek, słodkei cytrusy, średnio-wysoka goryczka, nuty zielone w tle. Bardzo orzeźwiające.

3.9 Barwa pomarańczowa, piana duża. Aromat cytrusowy, tropikalny, lekka zielona cebulka. W smaku owoce tropikalne, cytrusy. Fajne pifko.

3.8 1/31/19. On tap at the brewery. Hazy golden orange pour with a nice white head. Citrus and tropical on the nose. Doughy flavor, citrus and tropical. Not bad. Not as good as I was hoping, honestly.

3.8 On tap @ Beercraft Rohnert Park. Hazed golden beer with a white head. Has a bit of the dank onion and garlic thing going on here, but behind that is a ton of pineapple and grapefruit. There is some other fruit character here too, such as mango and peach. Moderate bitterness on the back end. Quite good, but not mindblowing.

4.0 On tap at Toppling Goliath, pours an opaque cloudy dirty yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank dry hops, light pine, bit of the nice cat pee from the citra, and biscuity malt. Flavour is wonderfully soft, with creamy piney hops, light dankness, and biscuity malt. Creamy and soft palate, with impeccable drinkability. Excellent.

4.2 22 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy, bright golden orange color and topped by a 2 finger thick off white layer of foam that slowly settles to a thin film and leaves streaks of lace around the glass. The aroma shows ample amounts of juicy citrus and tropical fruits with orange and grapefruit right up front followed by notes of mango and pineapple over a toasted biscuit and honey bread malt with waves of hops wafting around. Big citrusy aroma with very little residual resin. The flavor follows suit with loads of juicy orange, mango, pineapple, and bitter grapefruit all making an appearance to go with toasted biscuit and honey pale malts and ample balancing bitterness on the backend. The second dry hop addition really ratchets up the intensity of the hops. Medium bodied, smooth, and easy drinking with balanced carbonation that leads to a bitter sweet and juicy citrus and tropical fruit finish with lingering hop bitterness long after the sip. The double dry hopped version is my favorite of this series, but just by a hair over the Galaxy edition. Really tasty and damn good. When this beer is fresh it’s hard to beat it in the pale ale game.

2.9 Bomber drunk 6/6/18. Heavily hazy, light apricot-to-cantaloupe golden. White head fades quickly to a ring. Really nice pineapple juice up front leading to apricot-mango yellow fruits with no resin and little/no pine. Grainy/biscuity-cracker malts behind support gently. No alcohol or flaw. Quite aromatic. Some garlic/onion/scallion is very noticeable initially, mixing with tangy tangerine-like notes. Gets very dry, somewhat cracker-heavy rather quickly, with lots more scallion through the middle and pine and moderate bitterness sitting on the finish. Touch of alcohol or resin, not quite sure, but something slightly sharp. Tight carbonation and a pretty malty texture, though it is a touch too dry and grainy at times. Tons of scallion-garlic emerging more and more with warming/breathing. Very disappointing. Very low juice and little/no malt sweetness. Borderline scratchy/husky malts, but the onion character is still the worst part by far. Completely falls apart after a handful of sips and I end up dumping most of the bottle down the drain.

3.9 Taster at THBS. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a white head. Citrusy notes, green, dank hops, grapefruit.

4.3 660ml Double Dry Hopped ed, at home. Beautiful light golden, very cloudy ale topped by a slim creamy white head. Intense, juicy citrus and floral in the nose, grapefruit, white peach, grassy, lightly sweet on the mango pineapple side. Taste is cleanly malted, just lightly bitter and quite fruity; lacks a packing mouthfeel or big body for me (NEIPA-like...). Low-medium carbonation, soft mouthfeel.

4.0 Bottle pours hazy golden with a lacy white head. The aroma is great, super citrusy, grapefruit and tangerine, some pine and honey. The flavor has a touch of malty sweetness and a big citrus rind punch. Medium body, crisp feel, good carbonation. A very strong APA.

3.9 Pours hazy pale gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Mango and papaya aromas. Dry with sweet caramel and mango upfront turning to pith and resin in the medium length finish.

3.8 Tap at Armored Gardens, pours a hazy orange with a thin head and spotty lacing, aroma is super dank and fresh with citrus, had this side by side with regular sue and difference is obvious, flavor is bright and dank with a nice mouthfeel, yummy.

3.2 @MBCC2017S02 Pours orange with a small head. Yeasty aromas with lemon and citra. Tastes lemony with citra and yeasty notes. Medium body

3.9 22floz bottle, no date, appears to be brewed in IA and not FL, $9, nonic glass. Looks like well blended cream corn with a frothy white topping. Smells like citrus fruits, and tastes citrusy with a sharp bitter bite. The bitterness is quick and not too rough. The body is of medium weight and carbonation is medium-soft. Good cloudy APA, basically a session IPA with some meatiness.

4.8 Excellent

4.4 Yumyumyum love this stuff, don't know how you can't. The malt/hop balance is perfect, likewise the hop freshness.

3.9 (Tap sample @ MBCC 2017 Red Session, Copenhagen) Pours fairly hazy orange gold with a big white head and lace. Notes of sweet mixed tropical fruit, mango, fresh leaves, citrus peels, grapefruit, tangerine, slightly caramel-tinged malt, fairly low but still present bitterness into the finish. Rather light bodied with average carbonation. Definitely quite good, edging towards but not quite hitting NE style in profile; a touch too conspicuously malty. Very drinkable though. Solid despite the lameness of TG sending only this beer to the festival.

3.8 Blind tasted with the other dry hopped Pseudosue variants. Variant 1 was DDH, 2. Galaxy, 3. Mosaic. All 4 raters rated the beers 1 2 3 with 2 and 3 being fairly the same. 650ml bottle. Hazed gold pour. Aroma is huge, tropical and funky hop, Flavor is sweetish, too sweet to be great, but a nice cloudy pale ale. This was almost an entirely different beer in the blind tasting.
