3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a bright and very cloudy yellow with a profuse and sticky white head. Nose is nice and fruity with a sweet citrus component. Not terribly complex or in your face but very pleasant and nuanced. Light and fruity in the mouth with a zesty and dry finish. This is very nice for what it set out to be. Extremely refreshing and light, clean with very pretty hop flavors. I could crush this.

4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a very slightly hazy light gold with a rocky one finger white head. Really good head retention and chunks of lacing clinging to the sides of the glass.
Aroma has a very lemony and herbal quality with a little bit of orange, peach, and grapefruit thrown in. Maybe a touch of ginger. There is a very light citrusy quality overall to the hops. Really no malt is evident in the aroma.
The flavor continues the lemon/herbal characteristics. There is quite a bit of grass present as well similar to what you would find in a german pils but it compliments the citrus flavor quite nicely. There is a little bit of caramel from the malt along with some lighter bread that again reminds me of a pilsner. Moderate bitterness and a moderately sticky finish.
Overall, this is a very refreshing beer that has quite a bit of flavor and the hop profile is fairly unique; it is not like other IPA’s I have had. A pleasant, easy drinking beer that would be one to keep in the fridge.
