On tap at Growler Garage, South Burlington, VT.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy to burnt orange color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that dissipated within immediately. There wasn’t any lacing.
The smell started off with some sweet grapefruit, big piney hop oils, and some freshly cut grass.
The flavor really lets the sweet grapefruit take the front and allows the hop oils and freshly cut grass blend subtly in the background. Hop oily (piney) aftertaste runs into a quick oily finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a big sessionable feel. Carbonation runs good for the style and for me. Hop oils coat but don’t distract from the full feel (yes, this is a slick one).
Overall, for the most part, its a good APA, perhaps a bit \"slicker\" than some other APA’s. I’d still have it again. I think Drop In did what they wanted to.
