From growler. Fresh hoppy nose, grassy and fruity with pine infused citrus notes. Hazy medium amber body with thin off-white lacing head. Medium-light body with medium carbonation. Starts a bit sweet, with tons of fresh citrusy-piney hops. Big hop flavor up front, and medium bitterness towards the finish. Light sweet malt finish with tons of citrus and apricot and pine bitterness in the after. Aggressively hopped for a session, but not overpowering. Bit of carbonic fizzy burn, and just a tad watery on the malt side, but overall it’s well balanced.

This poured a light amber color with a large white head. Aroma was of light spice rye notes and fresh citrusy hops. Flavor was hop forward, somewhat bitter and light citrus, followed by a wheaty grainy swallow. Not Bad
