22 oz. bottle. Cloudy gold light head retention. Bottle bought at the brewery by a friend. Aroma is vegetable and slightly sour, maybe honey.
Body is light and tart. Flavor is like cooked vegetables. Not bitter, more sour..... Jeez, another swing and a miss. Almost a drain pour.

Got in a BIF from ZebraCakez. 22 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, light caramel, toasted bread, herbal, floral, grass, herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/earthy hops and moderate bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, light caramel, toasted bread, herbal, floral, grass, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, light caramel, toasted bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of citrus/earthy hops and moderate bready malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp/sticky, and slightly bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice IPA. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops and moderate bready malt balance; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A spot on east coast style IPA, very enjoyable.
