Growler shared by one of the Brewers. You go birdmachine! Pours clear golden, medium off-white head, disispates slowly leaving good lacing behind. Aroma is dank pot, pine, passtionfruit, melon, hints of onion from the Simcoe. Flavor is light plus bitter, light sweet, pretty dank with tropical and onion notes. Medium body, oily mouthfeel. Solid IPA for those who like ’em dank. Congrats man!
