Grower pour from Nate. Pours golden yellow, hazy, rimming white head. Grass, litter box nose. Nice caramel and bread backbone wih moderate bitter, bubblegum and cotton candy. Just IPA bliss.

From growler. A terrific nose on this one. Big juicy hop aroma; pine, resin, and a bit of citrus. Sweet hints with a bit of pale malt. Cloudy golden amber body with huge pillowy foamy lacing head. Medium watery body with medium-high carbonation. Starts with light pale malt and biscuit. Juicy piney hops and a bit of spice with great bitterness. Not harsh or astringent at all, with huge hop oil flavor at the finish. Mild sweet apricot-bitter after. Nice session - I hope this becomes a regular.

This poured a cloudy lighter orange color with a white head. Aroma was lots of fruity citrusy hops and just the slightest hint of malt. Flavor was nice light fruity hops upfront, followed by a bit of a heavy malty presence in the back and finishing with a long bitter aftertaste. A nice session IPA
