Oxford tasting, growler
Murky pale yellow color. The aroma is very juicy and mildly dank, some tropical; excellent. Dry mouthfeel, a bit too chalky, but with crisp malt base, juicy hops, a bit vegetable in the end and astringent.
Dirty but good.

Cloudy, thin head. There's a lot of lupulin powder, with a piney bent. Fresh, and with an orangey, papaya hop powder note. Soft, sweet malts. It's decent, not anything different than dozens of other examples of this style, but decent.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours an opaque cloudy peachy yellow with a small white head. Nose is dank and pithy, with stone fruits, dank weedy hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with pithy stone fruits, light tartness, moderately dank piney hops, some sticky resins, and bready malt. Not as complex and refined as some of their other hipster IPAs, but this works well. Another nice IPA from these guys.

Growler at Alex's. Pours a cloudy blonde with a white head. Aroma is very strange with lots of grass. Similar taste. An ok.

Update - Griwler - Looks like some time did it well, mellowing the green notes. Draft - Mango and citrus. Murky yellow with a small white head. Green leafy notes, touch of creamy sweetness and a bit astringent bitterness.
