Bottle. Pours a near clear pale gold with a fluffy white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma is full of funk with a good amount of earthy citrus and a slight tartness. Flavor is more hop forward with lots of earthy citrus, a good amount of funk, and grass backing.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a large white frothy head. Aroma is intoxicatingly wonderful, with loads of barnyard funk, cat piss-y hops from the citra, spiciness, and citrus zest. Flavour doesn't disappoint, with an unbelievably complex profile of barnard funk and the unique citra hops upfront, with a good amount of spiciness and citrus zest further back. Just a touch of astringency on the finish. Fucking awesome beer in every way.

Sampled at the Crooked Stave in The Source pours a hazy gold with some creamy, white head. Nose has the chivey notes you expect of citra, orange, lots of grass, mild honey, biscuit, lightly dank. Flavor is a bit weaker, some grassy notes, buttered biscuit, some citrus, a little vegetal, some white grape. Creamy finish.

Bottle @ home, picked up for $8 I believe. Cloudy yellow appearance with a white head. Lightly dank, citrus fruit, lemon, pineapple, slight passion fruit, funky nose. Hint of plastic. Medium light body. Refreshing and juicy. A little twangy. Lightly herbal, bretty, funky flavor with some pineapple and tangerine. Pretty good.
