Canned 3/23/17, drunk 4/1/17.
Another glassy, rather minimally-hazy, copper-tinted blonde body with a medium-sized white head that falls quickly to cover/ring.
Was very excited for this as it was about a week old and was single-hopped with Galaxy which is right up there just under Nelson as my favorite IPA hops. I felt the last beer I had from them was perhaps a touch old and not their best effort but a lot of the aspects were promising. Unfortunately, this one didn’t provide much hope in the nose, being very vegetal, cracker-malt heavy and really just not expressive at all. Dry nectarine, very light pineapple; none of the juicy, deep, dank, spicy character that I expect from this hop. A bit of sweat and sourdough with strong esters on the finish.
Again very dry, weak, thin and bland in the flavor. Sweaty, vaguely fruity and bitter with sourdough, resin and tons of dry citrus rind. Moderate, fairly engaging carbonation and a rather under-malted texture. Very disappointing. Giving these guys one more chance and then that’s probably it.

Draft at Harbor Bar, Whole Foods Bryant Park. Clear, bright golden pour, strong white lace on the glass. Crisp and hoppy. Herbal, citrus rind, but of grass. Lemon notes. Decent feel, a little watery. Good stuff.

Can at home fine deepe golden pour a few floaties though. Nose is juicy citrus. Tastes of lemons, juicy fruit gum, pineapple, honey mustard (whoever noted this below is exactly spot on), and slick alcohol on finish. Semi sweet and hot. Decent

Canned 1/4/17, drunk 1/28/17.
A lightly hazy, very light, straw golden with a hint of nectarine yellow and a sizable white head showing moderately strong retention.
Strong pepper, vegetal greenery, wood and cherry in the nose with pine and grapefruit appearing as it warms more. Malts are mostly left in the background, thankfully and add only light honey and bread. It’s very fruity and fragrant, but there’s definitely some strong resin and light alcohol here that detracts severely.
In the mouth it’s nicely malty yet well-attenuated with honey and bread backing the very strong bitterness. It begins fruity, lightly tropical and quite citric but develops a strong resin character that nearly ruins the finish and lingers on. Engaging carbonation, nicely unfiltered and soft but the hops are heavily, heavily overdone for what they were (assumedly) trying for here. Despite this one not working out, the other characteristics of the beer (mouthfeel, texture, body, attenuation, carbonation) were all very nicely done, so I’d happily give these guys another try.
