2017 version. Big thanks to Val & Ben for this big can! Nice labels on these new style silver cans. Poured room temperature. Odd IPA & metal aroma. My first taste impressions is: Not as IPA-ish as I was expecting. Citrus and a little tea fer sure. During the session more bitterness sets in. Finishes with a medium IPA kick in the face. In the end its a stronger duller alky impact than the 5% would indicate. If you like stronger APA or milder IPA, ignore my numbers, pretty much on style.

22oz bottle. Poured a mostly clear orange color with a small off-white head, lots of lacing. Aroma was lots of lemon zest, light floral notes, funky barnyard? Maybe just a little too herbal. Also kind of over carbonated. Just fine.

Pronounced lemon zest nose. Cloudy amber, thick head, great retention and glass adherence. Lemongrass with lemon zest accents. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Tea not very noticeable, but a solid IPA.

Draft at Churchkey. Clear bright golden color, medium white head. Aroma of summer fruit. Taste has bitter earthy lemon. Easy drinking, but not quite a sessionable abv, nice try though.
