Capped 500 from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours translucent gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is earthy/citrus with some pale malt support. Med body. It's dry and slightly more than moderately bitter. Clean. Almost crisp. Earthy, citrus with a touch of pine. Quite nice. Makes me think of an earthy saison.

On tap at Bottleworks, pours a minimally hazy blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings gentle fresh doughy hops, biscuity malt, and a hint of floral pine. Flavour is bright, with biscuity malt, bitter pine cones, and crisp crackery malt. The hops are bitter but not overly intense flavour-wise. Super fresh and clean. Very nice.

Canned 7 Sep 2023. Straw colored body, with a medium, white head. Aroma of green hops, lemon, grass, pine, some stone fruits. Tastes surprisingly light, green, hoppy and fruity. Medium mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes bitter, quite dry, citric, a bit piney, fruity, green. Beautiful smell of green hops, but the taste is quite light with not much body, while it finishes satisfying again, crisp and dry. Fresh to drink. Score: 8 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15

Poured from a 510 ml bottle dated September 07, 2023. Aroma is moderately hop forward and fruity with nice notes of grapefruit, tropical citrus, peaches and berries with hints of dank, resin. Light cracker malt notes with hints of alcohol. Fairly high lacing and small legs. Pours a clear, pale, yellow gold color with a large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes very slowly to a small film that lingers. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt and bready grain notes. Fairly high bitterness and hints of alcohol notes. Moderate hop notes of grapefruit and tropical citrus. Lighter peach, mango and berry notes with hints of dank, pine resin. Mouthfeel is medium to medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA. Light malt profile and alcohol notes that work well with the lighter, fruitier hop notes. Fruity, but not over the top.
