Draft at the brewery. Poured a hazy red/brown color, with a medium sized off-white head. Aromas were some light grain, sweet malts. Flavor was light, sweet cereal grains, nice malt, some light earthy hops. ABV is well hidden in this, a pretty darn smooth beer.

4oz pour at the brewery. Pours a clear orange with a ring of white head. Nose is so classic, pine, soap, orange, a little white grape. Flavor is spot on, crisp citrus, malt backbone is there too, orange, lime. Lightly bitter, crisp, refreshing finish. The best of the single hop IPAs.
