Super smooth and crisp, light golden coloured body with a thick, two to three centimetre tall pure white, relatively soapy head that fades pretty quickly, but leaves a thin lace on the sides and the top. Aroma of grass, soap, light flowers, a dash of lemons and some passionfruit here with a subdued but noticeable alpha acid pungency and bitterness, in the nose at least. Light to Medium-bodied; Crisp grassy and herbal flavours show at first with a nice soft hop bitterness and some flowers towards the end with a light citrus and lemon flavour at the very end, devoid of sugars throughout. Aftertaste shows some honey and herbal notes with a little dose of hay and flowers along with a nice enjoyable yeast kick that almost shows some lager components as well. Overall, a nice, very crisp and floral beer that shows more of an IPL than of an IPA, but fairly bitter, pretty easy-drinking and full of flavour, nice to sample for my first beer here this time in San Francisco. I sampled this sixteen ounce pint on draught at the brewpub Woods (Polk Station) in San Francisco, California on 07-March-2021 for US$8,00.

On tap at Woods Lowside. Pours clear golden with a medium sized off-white head, good lacing. Dank hops, grapefruit, light doughy, zest. Very good.
