32oz crowler pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a nice thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up barriers, guava, citrus,floral and then a mild sense of mint and earthiness. The taste delivers similar notes with floral hop bitterness, some citrus and a juicy hit of guava. It gets into faint notes of mint, strawberry and earthy tea into the finish. Pretty nice.

On draft at Melvin/Thai Me Up in Jackson Hole. Pours a clear gold with an off white head. Aroma is tropical fruit. Flavor is moderately bitter citrus. I found this surprisingly boring, given the outstanding IPA's each brewery produces.

On tap at Apex, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops upfront, with a touch of citrus and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is quite assertive, with sharp piney and floral hops, and a dry biscuity malt base. Bone dry and nicely assertive. Very good.

On draught at Frontier Brewing Company and Taproom.
A very slightly hazed straw gold, ample head of foam that leaves lacing behind.
Smells of pine, almost needle like, somewhat dank, also smells resinous.
Tastes either dry hopped, hop oils used, or both. My tongue sure feels like hop oily after every sip. Piney, dank to a point, bit of cracker malt in the background.
Smooth mouthfeel, again my tongue seems to be coated with that hoppy goodness and the abv is very out of the way.
Very nice collaboration.
