Unlabeled bottle from the brewer. Huge hop nose, dank, tropical, stone and citrus fruits. Wow, some cat piss too. Cloudy gold with a fine bubbly head. Mosaic and Citra, I would guess. Great hop flavor, crisp, metallic, bitter and dank. Lovely. Very crisp and nice. A great IPL that is super dry and fabulously hoppy. Seems 3 months time has mellowed it very well. Just a tad too bitter, but excellent.

On tap at the Akashi booth at Craft Beer Live 2016. Deep brassy gold with a thick head. The aroma is peppery citrus and crisp light malts. The taste is the same. Very light, effervescent and dry. Good stuff but the bitterness got a bit harsh after awhile. Pretty good though.
