On tap at City Beer, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is very pungent, with notes of herbal hops, pine cones, and a bit of Belgian yeast - very inviting. Flavour is similar, with notes of pungent herbal hops, pine, and biscuity malt to back. Extremely pungent on the hops, with a medium astringency. Awesome IPA.

Growler @ Armin’s palace, courtesy of Steve_0. Thanks! Pours a hazy yellow golden appearance with a white head. Spicy dank onion hoppy, lemony herbal aroma. Straw, chewy grassy, onion, light garlic, dry spicy hoppy flavor. Very easy to drink but doesn’t blow me away.

On tap at the brewery. This is incorrectly listed as a porter, but is actually an IPA. Aroma is dominated by dank hops with moderate grapefruit and lighter pineapple notes. Light phenolics and cracker note. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a medium thick white head. Head recedes fairly quickly to a light film then lingers. Medium light lacing.Flavor is similar to the aroma with a medium light cracker malt note. Medium dank hops with medium high grapefruit citrus notes. Medium light pineapple. Light phenolic note with medium strong bitterness. Bitterness hits me as a bit harsh. Finished nice and very dry.Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low hop stringency and low alcohol warmth.Overall an alright beer but the hop bitterness is a touch harsh. I think I was expecting a fruity Brett beer, but this is definitely on the dank side.

Tap. Pours cloudy golden with a small white head that dissipates quickly with decent lacing. Aroma is citrus, dank, yeasty, passionfruit, Brett perhaps. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter, a bit of funk, mineraly, zesty, yeast with just a touch of Brett, earthy. Medium body, creamy, quite nice overall, but the finish is a bit harsh.
