Pours a hazy, golden-yellow, with minimal head. Aroma is very resinous, with grass, some floral earthiness, and a touch of soap. Flavor is resin, grass, hop-pine bitterness, some spicy, peppery character. Looks like a hazy IPA, tastes like a more run-of-the-mill IPA.

Draught at Tip Tap Room, 8/30/17.
Heavy haziness, bordering soupiness and a bright, golden-maize color with a large, dense, well-retained, white head.
Lemon, white wine and honey/biscuit provide for a fairly straightforward, but very well-executed nose. No sign of resin or alcohol. Not intensely aromatic, but with some light perfume/floral/spice character and light earthy/mineral character that this hop can provide. If it's not as bold, lush and juicy/tropical as Galaxy and Nelson, it's every bit as interesting.
Soft, juicy and lushly-hopped with very low bitterness and zero resin/twang. Pillowy malts are well-attenuated and the beer finishes creamy, almost with gentle bitterness keeping balance. Spiciness increases with warming. Very well-made and with a tight carbonation and no flaw or alcohol. This is a hell of a series.
