Poured up on tap at RBWG16 where it exhibits a hop hazed deep gold body that supports a nice looking white head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy onion and smooth cantaloupe flowing into a soft pineapple sort of citrus grapefruit note toward the end of the draw. The taste delivers nice bitter sort of mango and pineapple with a little smooth juicy cantaloupe. It also has some bitter floral and earthy and grassy hops going on too. This goes together really well. Solid.

Tap at Tired Hands. Hazy yellow body. Big steady white head. The oats give it a nice creamy feel, while the spelt give it some bonus twang. The rye is subtle and adds depth. Pretty awesome session IPA, some slight lemon-lime soda water notes. The hops are big but not overboard.

Pour @ RateBeer Best Festival. Hazy golden yellow appearance with an off white head. Aroma was dank, spicy, peppery, and citrusy - some grapefruit. Dry. Low sweetness and bitterness. Super easy to drink and refreshing. Spiciness from the rye (almost like black pepper), dank bud, weed, and grass in the flavor. Quite enjoyable.

On tap at Monk’s Cafe, Philadelphia. A pale yellow beer topped by a minimal sized white head. Hop pellets, orange notes and pale malts in the aroma, and a faint cheesy touch. It’s medium bodied, dry and nicely carbonated, with a nice bitterness. Hop pellets, orange notes, pale malts and tropical fruits in the flavor. Lasting finish with a nice bitterness. A bit disappointing this one, but sure drinkable. 150622
