Bottle @ home. Clear golden color, huge foamy white head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is a little bit faint. I would have expected a more prominent hoppy aroma up front but I only get a moderate fairly distant hoppy note. That said, I did just have two very powerfully hopped session IPA's so maybe those were just too strong. Anyway...flavor is malts, hops, bitter hops. I do get some amarillo notes but they're overpowered by strong carbonation. So in the end: it's not really bad, but I had higher hopes for aroma and flavor. The too high carbonation is really annoying and gets in the way of the flavor. Room for improvement imo.

Pours unclear yellow, big to very big white head. Smell is nicely hoppy. Amarillo, yay ! Taste is sharp bitter, very grainy, hop-forward ( green hops ) some yeasty spicyness, which is never a thing I like in an IPA, but it does work with this specific one, I must admit. Rather intense bitterness. Mild funkyness. Nice
