On tap at Bissell Brothers, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out moderate dank hops, biscuity malt and some piney notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with moderately dank, piney hops and a soft biscuity malt base. Very nicely constructed, with a piney hop finish. Excellent.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy bright yellow color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry dank hops notes with some green grassy hoppy notes also perceptible. Taste is a mix of dry dank notes with some herbal grassy hops floral undertones with light residual sugar notes. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Solid IPA with nice mix of less known hops which provides different flavours.

Draught at the brewery, 12/22/17.
Thick haze with a moderate amount of fairly-well retained, white head.
Onion is prominent but relaxes slowly in to mango and a big, somewhat twangy mix of key lime, honey and strong cereal (yeast too??). Pineapple and a touch of lightly woody/spicy Amarillo with lots of strong Mosaic hop twang (pine and papaya, light-to-moderate scallion).
In the mouth it's thin, severely undermalted and showing no softness/suppleness to balance the moderate bitterness. Just astringent-feeling, vegetal, minimally juicy hop character on a watery, scratchy, thin surface. Not enjoyable at all, which seems to be the theme of most of their beers since expansion. Really hope they get their shit together.

Pours a kind of muddy-golden yellow (it's hazy), with good-sized and lasting head. Aroma of dank basements, sour washcloths, and cat boxes. Flavor is very citrusy, well-balanced, with a bit of sweetness. Some pine/spruce hops in the background. Soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Very nice beer.
