Draft pour pint at Hop and Hound, left over from Fresh Hop Fest. Bright golden appearance, soft haze, plenty of head and lacing. Unique fresh hop here, really showcasing the hops well. Aroma is malt forward, bready and earthy grain, with a slight citrus tilt. Creamy body with notes of orange fruit. Almost sweet. Juicy, creamy body. Subtle lingering orange peel like bitterness. Grain goes from bready to nutty. The hops insist to balance it well, and are flavorful and impressionable. Far from a typical IPA in my opinion, but very much enjoyable. Solid fresh hop.
