16 oz. can. Born on: 02/02/21. Pretty much every brewery in America does and all Citra double IPA at this point. This is above average because of the soft mouth feel with alcohol being completely hidden. The malt bill and expression of the hop is really great.

On tap at The Veil, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh dank hops, a bit of stone fruits and some earthy biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with perfectly balanced dank hops and crisp biscuity malt. Not much residual yeastiness to cloud this up. Balanced, dry and powerful without being abrasive. Excellent.
