Wow is this good beer! Everything is so dialed in and flawless I just can't believe it. I wish I'd bought a lot more. super fresh grapefruit hops with exact perfect amount of malt and carbonation to balance huge fluffy frothy off-white head that lasts a long time just the right amount of bitterness and an outstanding finish. Man these guys can brew beer.

I can see why this is favored by some over pliney, great piney notes.

Taster pour on tap at Boneyard Bistro. Appearance is lightly hazy, piss yellow with tons of sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with excellent retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is nondescript fruit salad. Taste is sweet nondescript fruit salad with offsetting strong bitterness. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and dry, crisp, mostly bitter finish. Overall, a really nice look but the aroma and taste are fairly weak and the dominant feature of the brew is bitterness.
