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.

Clear golden color with a medium white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Piney hops, citrus and malt aroma. Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, citrus and roast malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 ounce bottle. Honey gold pour. Large frothy beige head. Floral hop nose borders on strong flowery notes. Sweet toasted malt flavor has strong notes of resiny hops. Unusual spicy character is reminiscent of clothing detergent. Dry bitter finish.
