Pour is typical hazy ipa yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is some pear and white grape. Flavor is more pear maybe even some raisin. Very thin and a little bitterness on the end. Ok session ipa.

16 oz. can sent by Church Street for my comment. First off, I notice the tab on the cans has been a little tight, suggesting a secondary ferment might have driven the inside pressure up a bit. But no gushers so far. A nice hit of pine and resin, with stone fruit, hits my nose when I do pop the tab. The pour is hazy as expected, under a sudsy head that can rise up a little above the rim of the glass. I expected a bit of sweetness from the lactose, but it's overcome by the bitter hit of hops. Now I can catch some mango as I sip further down. The usual pine and resin are rather subdued for an IPA, letting some of the fruity hops stay up front. Light malts make this end with a nice, dry finish.

Sampled from the tap at Gillerson’s. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has citrus rind and a bit of sweet orange with a hint of resin and sweet grains backing. Flavor has bitter citrus and bitter rind with a bit of sweet grains underlying.
