Can pour from Beer and Wine Nation. It's an opaque light brown-dark yellow with no sparkle, finger-width off-white head with fair retention and light ring of lacing. Aroma is strong lemon and lime. Taste is strong lemon-lime but a bit toward the astringent, industrial cleanser side with mild pepper heat. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture, soft carbonation, no sign of alcohol, and finish as taste. Overall, not your run of the mill DIPA/DNEIPA. Margarita-esque but the lemon-lime, while strong, is on the industrial side, which is a bit much. Different, I'll give it that.

4 ounce draft at the brewery. The flavor is pretty intense: lemon drop candy, citrus peel and a near mint finish. Lemon drop candy finish with mildly lingering herb. With that said, bitterness is low. Almost like a tea character. Different
