Can shared by Jack, thanks! Pours a hazy straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy and bitter citrus with grains and a light bread note underlying. Flavor has earthy citrus with a growing bitterness and a grain backing.

Buddha hands type citrus - I swear I remember what that tastes like. Pours hazy orange with great head and lacing. Green onion. Nice balance and solid lighter hazy IPA. Clean finish with a touch of almost licorice in aftertaste. Nice stuff. Tap at Churchkey.

Thanks Drew.
Canned on 12/06/16.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-dark hazy burnt yellow almost orange color. Finger’s worth of white foamy head stood atop the glass and that trickled down nicely. Moderate clingy semi-speckled lacing hung all around.
The aroma takes some grapefruit rind bitterness to slap against some smooth citrus pulpiness, somewhat creamy-like. Subtle piney hop nuances underneath.
The flavor starts bitter and gets a nice smooth sweet creamy citrus pulpiness to it. Reminiscent of juice but still the creaminess is there. No aftertaste but a quick bittersweet citrusy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. Appropriate bitterness level, but still the creaminess likes to smooth it all out a bit.
Overall, damn nice AIPA that I would love to have again.

Can. It pours a cloudy yellow color with a white head. The aroma is potent with grapefruit, passionfruit, a little grass and cattiness. The flavor has passionfruit, grass, a little pineapple and grapefruit. The finish is a little overly grassy and pithy, but not too bad. It has a good mouth feel and very light malt profile. A really nice showcase of unfiltered Citra goodness. I enjoyed this a lot.

Pours hazy dark straw into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving gloppy spot lacing. Melon and tropical fruit aromas. Soft and sweet with caramel and mango upfront turning to bitter pith in the lasting finish.

Draught at the brewery on 8/11/16.
Thoroughly hazy, lemon-rind-tinted-brass body is topped by a large, well-retained, white head.
Explosively juicy lemon and orange rind notes in the nose are backed by softer, succulent honey-like malts and a fair amount of dank, green, spicy hop notes, as well. Lemon oil, light sweat, biscuit, black pepper even, can all be found in some degree, but it’s mostly given to the juicy citrus and light pineapple-mango that the hop is known for. No alcohol or flaw, highly aromatic.
In the mouth it’s got a very soft, but ample body carried on by tight carbonation and biscuity malts. Juicy lemon, nectarine, mango and pineapple all balance a substantial bitterness. The end result is fairly well-balanced though tending bitter at times. In addition, I kept getting a sharp, perfume-like flavor that may have been alcohol, but was probably just resin. It wasn’t persistent, and the malt and juiciness of the hop more than softened it, with warming. Very drinkable and juicy yet also with an assertive bitterness to please more die hard IPA drinkers.
