Taster at brewery. Medium golden pour, sparse head, streaky lacing. Piney, hoppy aroma with a dank edge. Taste comes in sticky, hoppy, piney, green. Pretty hoppy for an East Coast IPA.

Bottle. A- Citrusy, mild funk, melon, mildew. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Citrus, pine, melon, slightly musty, lingering tang P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly unbalanced finish. O- Unique. Definitely not a standard IPA or a ton of bitterness. A fair amount of sourness and tang to it. Different but not completely undrinkable. Definitely got worse at it warmed though. Also a gusher on opening.
