Can thanks to GodOfThunder: Poured a bright yellow with a white frothy head. Aroma is juicy, fruity, citrus, melon. Taste is hoppy, light citrus, melon, rinds, tangy, tingly finish.

Pint can, courtesy of GodOfThunder, pours with a murky glowing gold colored body that supports a full frothy fairly dense near white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up mango, cantaloupe, floral hops, kind of spicy herbal hops, some lime and then a bit of hop burn to the nose. The taste delivers a blast of various hoppy notes like mango, cantaloupe, lime and then moving to increasingly bitter floral and woody spicy hops. A hop burn hits toward the finish giving a slight sense of hop astringency.

On tap at Sideward, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of pot-like dankness but also plenty of chaotic hopburn. Flavour is much the same, with lots of chaotic floral notes, dank hops, light hopburn. It's a bit chaotic and harsh without being having the usual hazy problems.

Opaque, pale, thin head. Very weedy aroma and taste, with moderate bitterness.
