22oz bottle pours a very hazy, dark gold with some sudsy white head. Nose has bright scallion, pine, a little tropical fruit, candy, honey, perfume. Flavor has plenty of chive, pine and garlic scape, malty, honey, pine, citrus peel. Reminds me of old school Heady. Very nice.

Draft at Pro Pig. Cloudy gold with lasting head retention. Aroma is yeasty wheat, clove, hints of banana. Flavor is right in line for the style. Simple but good. Sweet bready malts, light banana, light grain and a touch of clove. Thin body is the only thing that hurts this brew. Beefing up the body would help greatly. Overall still refreshing.

A hazed blonde ipa with a thin creamy off white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with grassy British hops, OK. In mouth, a dry crisp biscuit malt with grassy hops, raspy mouth feel, OK.
