From the brewer

This tasty, golden-orange-hued brew is made with organic malts and hops grown in the Cowiche Canyon of Yakima Valley. It is made in partnership with Carpenter Ranches and the Britt family in an effort to expand the organic hop industry in Washington state. The brew pours clean with juicy, blood orange notes, and is all about exploring the potential of the new(er), popular Mosaic hop varietal. This “super hop” features tropical flavors of mango, lemon, citrus, earthy pine, and ripe apricot.

Who's been drinking this

2015 release
Much more bitter with some woody flavors. I'm also getting some hints of marijuana in the smell?

Of the two, this was a little spicier on the nose and more woody, resinous on the tongue. Similar to the citra / simcoe, but not nearly as fruity (as one might guess). Finish is a bit oiler, a bit more woody-bitter. Still very nice, but not quite as good as the first.
Bottle at Xbeer One
2015 release
A really delicious fresh hop ale, with tons of pine and fruit in the opening. Avoids feeling like an all essential-oil and resin and no body beer, although it is still pretty thin. But it's hard to fault the flavors that are there when they're so good.
