In the nicest way possible... this tastes like grass. It's a good taste I promise.

It's pretty plain but not a bad thing. People are talking about kids, and I'm just sitting here drinking.

Damn that is tasty. Brisk tight hoppy flavor. I am impressed. #brewsiana2015 @hobnola

It's the perfect balance of light and dark. I am a bit biased though... I'm having a milkshake at the same time.

Aims to be a modern juicy pale ale, but never quite nails the ratios between bright hop notes and hearty malt padding. Instead, we get a sharp, almost tangy burst of tropical-citrus notes, followed by a modest vegetal undertone and a yeast-pine finish. Not terrible, but not a version of the style I’d seek out, what with Automatic and Zombie Dust readily available.
