Stored cold, split a few ways w\/ some RBers<\/p>\n<p>A &#8211; Really good appearance. Hazy burnt orange, a 2 finger creamy head, not sticky lacing at all.<\/p>\n<p>S &#8211; Aroma is fairly predictable. Juicy, NZL hop profile, with a bit of grape skins, nectarine, peaches, pineapple. smells fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; The hop profile here&#8230;well it\u2019s a single hop which means you\u2019re going to get the great and the crap. It starts off great, that initial bitterness is great then it fades to a very resin-heavy orange-rind yuck. It\u2019s great if you\u2019re really into a west coast style IPA. The malt backbone is heavily complimentary. A touch of table sugar, caramel, pretty impressive.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Decent mouthfeel. It lacks that dryness that I as a part time beer drinker have come to expect but truthfully, it\u2019s not lacking in style, just lacking on what I\u2019ve come to expect&#8230;my fault, not that of the brewery<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; Overall, I could have 2-3 pints before I could get tired of it.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;River Roost Swamp Monster in Love&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/24548157263\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"River Roost Swamp Monster in Love\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"River Roost Swamp Monster in Love\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"427\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1512\/24548157263_af33779af8_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Overall 3.9\/5 AROMA 8\/10 APPEARANCE 4\/5 TASTE 8\/10 PALATE 3\/5 OVERALL 16\/20 AdamChandler (4089) &#8211; Enfield, New Hampshire,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-03-17T01:50:27Z","apple_news_api_id":"e19c6713-6829-4223-8690-b7927d7d6176","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-03-17T01:50:27Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A4ZxnE2gpQiOGkLeSfX1hdg","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-reviews","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-RD","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2725,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/04\/06\/review-hill-farmstead-mosaic-single-hop-pale-ale\/","url_meta":{"origin":3325,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Review: Hill Farmstead Mosaic Single Hop Pale Ale","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 6, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"4 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AROMA\u00a08\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0APPEARANCE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0TASTE\u00a07\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PALATE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0OVERALL\u00a015\/20 750ML Growler filled yesterday and split 2 ways in HF stemware at fridge temp (37F).
