12 oz bottle poured, from the brewery. Thanks, Justin! Surprisingly clean and clear golden appearance. Melon hops, some citrus and grassy hops on the nose. Flavor is a bit by and bitter, melon rind, with a gentle juicy follow. Lingering balanced grain and and juicy melon fruit. Overall pretty good, but never what I would have expected from a NE IPA.
