Not so good, old clothes, moth balls, baby powder, antique. No lemongrass flavor present, in fact this is more of an earthy IPA than a citrus one.

Draft in a flight at the brewery. My favorite beer I had the brewery today. The lemongrass imparts a great citrus overtone to the entire brew, almost making you forget this is a badass hoppy Double IPA. Glad I found this one.

On tap at the brewery plus a bottle later. Based on the other review i would say it was not had on tap. Orange colored pour with a white head on it. Lemon, citrus scent with plenty of hops. Taste hoppy, sweet full of lemons on tap...bottle lacks that citrus note. The tap version is awesome, bottle...not really. Tap would be a 4. Bottle is a 3. Average is 3.5
