Ever so slightly hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of grass, pine, earth, a dash of flowers with some light candy sweetness here as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours show at first with a bunch of pine and bitter hops provide the depth with a noticeable malt and slightly wheatie finish with some enjoyable sweetness from candy at the end. Aftertaste shows a good balance of malt, hops and sugars that hit nicely and the bitterness from the dry and grassy hops is very nice and crisp for the style. Overall, a solid, enjoyable and well-structured IPA with a good bitterness and smooth sweetness with a robust, rich malt backbone throughout. Good to try and very respectable for the style. Nice to bring back from Nebraska and worth the space in my suitcase! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Russ's Market in Lincoln, Nebraska on 24-August-2021 for US$1,67 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-June-2022.

12oz can pours a translucent orange with a three finger cap of white head. Nose has grapefruit and soap, honey, herbs. Nose is decidedly old school. A little crackery even. Flavor hits with the bitterness, raw orange and grapefruit, some piney character now, grass, straw. A little tropical fruit lurks, but this isn't trying to be new money. Finishes medium bodied, bitter.

Draft. A- Spruce, pine, floral. A- Gold color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Floral, herbal, mild bitterness. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, floral finish. O- This reminded me of walking into a garden center or floral shop in early spring. It was overloaded with floral and herbal notes throughout the nose and palate. So many flowery scents and flavors I couldn't make up my mind with what exactly I was picking up. Had this fresh almost right out of the tank. Quality stuff.
