12 oz can. Straw-colored pour with many fine particles and a white head. Grassy herbal aroma. Flavor has grassy hops, white grape, herbal hops, light and clean. No real maltiness or bitterness. Not really enough here for me. Too light.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, red apple, mango, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/rind, dill, mint, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, red apple, mango, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/rind, dill, mint, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, red apple, mango, watermelon, berries, citrus peel/rind, dill, mint, wood, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.2%. Overall this is an excellent Brut IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the moderately bitter/resinosu/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Probably El Dorado/Lemondrop. Very vibrant, dank, and earthy hop complexity; solid pale malt backbone, with no residual sweetness from crisp resin dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example as expected.
