Can. Canned on: 11-28-19. Aroma has lemon, weak pine, and cracker like malt. Flavor has a hearty amount of lemon, green leaf hops, with soft pine. Bone dry texture. (Like cottonmouth dry). Not in love with this but it does have a certain amount of refreshment.

Canned 11/28/18, drunk 12/24/18.
Copper-golden-bronze, moderately-to-heavily hazy, white head slowly fades to cover.
Strong H. Blanc in the nose providing heavily dry lime and lemon. It's not really resinous or even that piney, but it's just....not juicy. I mean, there's a hint and the malt helps augment it, with light honey and plentiful biscuit. There's a hint of alcohol, sort of inevitable at this level, but it's not sharp or problematic. Very dry, though, not going to mistake this for ohh...i dont know, Trilium Dialed Up, let's say.
In the mouth it's dry, zesty, and cleanly malted with tons of biscuit and cracker. Kind of amazing how dry this is yet it's not husky with the grain and yet nor is it resinous or overy piney. It's actually very well done, which is why I bought it, knowing that Bunker kills it with the attenuation. These guys don't do syrupy and sugary. That said, I don't love this hop and it comes off slightly pine sol-like at times. Intense lemon and lime zest. Tight carbonation and little/no alcohol. Clean. Soft texture and malty.
