16oz can pours a clear dark gold with some creamy, white head. Nose is nice, and certainly reminiscent of spring. Flowers, some green grass, a little garlic scape, some light citrus. Flavor has a light grist followed by some citrus and soap and patchouli, flowers still, grass too. It's a little less dank in the mouth, but that's really my only complaint. Finishes dry, bitter, super drinkable. A nice bite.

Bottle from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus/resin. An almost hidden dank note. Med + body. Flavor is citrus/resin with some tropical or similar. Fruity, almost juicy, and there’s maybe a dank hint. Malt is slightly roasty but over matched by the hops, so it finishes really bitter. Good stuff.
