Draft pour pint to plastic at Elysian Fields, the official Mariners game pre funk headquarters for yours truly. Soft haze, shadow orange, thick cream foam lid. Aroma is dense with the headlining rye grain, some bready malts compete. Flavor dates to be spicey with rye attributes, but it is met with a pairing sweet caramel malt. Its smooth. Flavorful. Interesting. I get a hidden melon character in the hop bill. The sips trade off. Some full of malt, rye. Some a total hop centered IPA. Enjoyable brew.

Experience by September 27th 2019. It just showed up, dammit. I sometimes really hate distributors.

Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with an impressive and long lasting head of foam.

The smell has a lot of citrus, rye, pine, some toasted malt. Doesn't seem like the age hurt the smell. What do I know?

The taste has oodles of pine, light grapefruit, dank, spicy rye, toasted malt, again, it's better than I anticipated.

Medium bodied with kinda light carbonation. Not the best mouthfeel.

Interesting. Worthy of a repurchase? Nah.
