On tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy gold with a thin white head. The aroma is grassy and dank. It’s spicy, herbal, and has a pleasins citrus quality. The flavor is still hoppy but less aggressive than the aroma. Enough citrus, herbs, weed, and wooden bitterness are in the flavor to give it a solid APA character. The finish is lasting and bitter though has a very faint chalky quality. Overall this is a great session pale ale, kind of reminds me of Sweetwater 420.
