Bottled. Pretty thin pour, some hints of lemon but your standard floral sesson IPA notes. Pretty decent overall, not too much to distinguish this one overall.

12oz. bottle. Hazy golden with a nice-sized off-white head. Aroma of lemon-flavored iced tea, grass, faint citrus. Taste follows nose, but with some added detergent/soap components that are detrimental to the overall flavor. Mildly bitter finish.

Pours amber with a large lasting head.Nose shows lemon tart, pine, peach and floral hops along with a soft clean sweetness.Flavours include more lemon notes, hinting more at lemon leave rather than the fruit itself. Lots of green grass-liek notes along with some pine too.

Bot. Cloudy, mild IPA aroma. Taste is simply big bitter dull hop impact with a vegie backbone. Some co2 makes it palatable but that doesn’t cure the mouth coating effects of this stuff. Soapy IPA fer sure. If you like IPA you gotta try this. Packs quite a punch. You’d never know it was less than 5%. Long bitter taste bud ruining brew.

On tap. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a medium, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet, fruity, floral aroma of citrus fruit rinds, tropical fruit and pale malt. Sweet flavour of lemon, grapefruit, pale malt, pine and grass with a dry, bitter, hop resin finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Pretty solid.
