Had this at the brewery - it's 5.5% and 30 IBUs in 2017. Slight haze, thin head. Fruity...the hop is simcoe... nice bitterness, thin malts but that’s kind of toasty. Decent brew.

Bottle from the brewery
Hazy golden color with small head. Nice hop aroma, more dank than fruity, and some dry hay. Smooth and dry; it has a strong flavor of hay, with a touch of bready and biscuity malts; strong bitterness; there are some hop resins, but the hops are not too bright, maybe a bit musky.
More can be achieved, but it's still a good beer.

Draft - Earthy and some oily petroleum notes. Clear gold with a thin white head. Tastes sweet and some petroleum again with a touch of bitterness.

650mL bottle, pours a fairly clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose brings out herbal hops, some grassy notes, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is fresh, with herbal hops, some light skunkiness, and dry bready malt. Wouldn't have guessed this was fresh hopped, but it's clean and drinkable enough, albeit quite dull. Meh.
