Brewery draught, 12/28/23. Heavily hazy, bronze-brass. Neat, medium-sized, off-white head, well-retained. Sweaty, farmy, rustic, highly mineralesque and earthy hops lend a variety of melon-laced tropical fruits. Crackery, sparse malts behind it. Clean, no resin. Good sulfur finish with light guava. Very dry, crackery, a touch thin-bodied with juicy, citrusy, melon and white wine accented by yuzu and lime zest. I like the full attenuation but it could use just a touch more body. That said, this is a 5.8% IPA, quite a bit lower than most. So I can mostly let that slide. Rustic, lo-fi hop character is charming and there's just enough bitterness.
