Had on tap at the source, 9:44 pm. Pours an orangeade amber with an off-white head not even a fingernail in length. Aromas of piny hops on the forefront, met with lemon seeds, American yeast, peaches, and white nectarines. Tastes of piny hops, farmhouse yeast, wheat malt, kelp, and beach sand. Refreshing.

On tap at the Portsmouth Brewery. Served in a pint glass. From notes. A - Golden amber body. Two finger off white head that laces all the way down. S - Grapefruit, pine, and some light bready caramel malt. T - Great citrus flavors with some piney hop notes. Bready and sweet with a nice bitter finish. Mouth feel is slick and coating. O - A really solid IPA. I wasn’t amazed by it, but its a very easy drinking and flavorful IPA. I really dig the name and concept of the "C" ingredients.
