Canned 1/12, drunk 1/22/17.
Moderately hazy, bright flaxen-golden with a white head that is medium-sized and shows moderate retention.
Lemondrop produces tons of sharp, fruity, almost candied lemonskin, with tons of nectarine, starfruit and leafy, coniferous, spicy greenery. The simcoe deepens and intensifies the hop character, adding signature pine, grapefruit and light cherry. Very woody, yet lemony with light juiciness and no interference from the malts.
In the mouth it’s a bit bitter, though there are some juicy interludes. Sweaty, lightly catty notes with wood, earth, spice and herb as well as strong citrus and unripened nectarine. Supple, soft texture with engaging carbonation, proper (high) attenuation and no alcohol or flaw, really, just too much acidic dryness and weird catty-sweaty notes.

Draft at District Tap House. Clear pour with a nice, sheeting white head and some streaky, drippy lace. Lemon pledge and lemon rind. Doughy malt. Some grass. Very clean and easy drinking, almost thin, which is insane for this ABV level. Finishes with a tingle. Overall, feels a little convoluted and didn't quite work as well as I would have wanted.

Can thanks to Seth. Pours a hazy yellow gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is strong lemon zest, pine, tropical fruit, straw. Medium body, melon, lemon, pine, resin, light bitterness, very good.

Draught @ Milk and Hops. Slightly cloudy golden yellow with largish foamy head, lemon peel aroma, medium carbonation, sweetish citrusy taste, smooth body, long citrusy bitter finish with some alcohol bitterness at the end. Quite good and tasty.
