Can(s) from my brother-in-law at Thanksgiving.. the farm he works for supplied (at least some of) the cashmere hops for this brew. A golden color with modest white head and lots of sticky lacing. Ripe aroma of citrus and tropical fruits, just a bit earthy. Rather bitter overall with minimal sweetness. Some earthy and floral notes. Different the most IPA’s out there right now.

Hazy, dullish dark blonde, med thick. Earthy, nice piney bitterness. Decent malt base, touch of lemon, light stone fruit. Not bad…is Bitburger getting into modern beer? They should…killer flagship and they can go amazing from there.

Can from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours rather hazy gold with a decent creamy/foamy white head. Aroma is juicy; citrus, melon, peach. Med body at least. It's quite juicy, but not really sweet. Flavor is citrus, melon, peach, pale malt and some floral notes. Goes a bit astringent in the finish. Moderately bitter. Very good flavor.

On draught at Frontier Brewing and Taproom.
Pours a lightly hazy pale gold with a good head of foam and retention.
Smells hoppy but also bitter. Citrus, pine, hints of tropical fruitiness.
The taste is pine and citrus hops, tropical fruitiness, cracker malt, with a long lasting bitterness in the aftertaste.
Good mouthfeel, good beer.

Sampled from the tap at the Portland location. Pours a clear light yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of grass and slightly dank citrus with just a hint of pine. Flavor has citrus rind and grass up front with a pine note in the finish.

6 week old can A: Lightly hazed pinkish hued pale gold with 1/2 of long lasting foam. S: Flowers, light citrus and sandalwood. Maybe a touch of honey. T: Bitter and woody with citrus pith the main feature. Caramel, herbs and citrus zest join at the end. M: Smooth textured with crisp carbonation and a slick finish. O: Tasty for sure but a bit too much like a hoppy lager. Overall underwhelming.
