Brewery draught, 4/11/26.
Their hazy IPAs aren't exactly hazy, but whatever. This one smells a bit spicy, with some herbal/earth/lemongrass character mixing with pine and hard citrus. Biscuit, cracker, white bread from the malt balances.
Feels a lot more West Coast here. There's a sourdough-like character with lots of spice and slight pine. Grapefruit too. Not the ultra-soft, creamy, fruity yeast character of an NEIPA, either. But still well-done, for the most part, as their beers are.

Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! Appearance is cloudy dark yellow-light brown with nice sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with good retention and fair lacing. Aroma is strong mix of citrus, grape, herbal and bit of dank dirty clothes hamper. Taste is mix of mild sweet fruit and dominant strong resiny bitter, mild herb. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp, dry bitter finish. Overall, nice strength to aroma and flavor but too bitter for the style (more conventional IPA) and a bit over carbonated. Could use some work.

16 oz. can. Aroma is bolder tropical fruit until it warms. Then it’s a wet dog aroma. yep, I typed wet dog. The flavor is the tropical hint, soft citrus with a hint of pine. Alcohol shows just slightly. If you can get past the wet dog, it’s pretty good.
