Keg at the brewery tap. Pours hazy gold with a lasting, tight, creamy white head. Not terrible, has some ripe citrus character, mellow piney bitterness, marmalade, oranges, mild flinty dryness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous finish, more piney hops and ripening citrus. Actually pretty OK. But far from a NEIPA. More old school.

Tap. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is juicy fruits, very cheesy hops, parmeggiano. Taste is the same, with quite an off parmeggiano finish. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Meh.
