On tap. Pours with a hazed, deep golden hued body with a lasting off-white head. Aromas are quite pungent, hoppy, spicy, dank, CTZ like, medium caramel, a hint of diacetyl like butterscotch. Aroma is mostly hops though, weed, strong, fresh, grassy. Flavors are hoppy, citrusy, dank, lightly bitter, floral and tropical fruit. Lively carbonation, fuller bodied, warming. Quite a bit sweeter than I would like, but nice and fresh hop character.

On tap. Pours with a clear copper body with a small off-white head. Aromas of hops: floral, citrus. Light esters and some caramel bready notes. Flavors are medium bitter with a bitter balance overall. Mostly citrus from the hops with light undertones of earthy and more herbal hops. Some caramel/crystal malt flavors. Medium dry with medium carbonation. Alcohol creeps a little bit for what I was expecting. Pretty good overall.

On tap (first released batch). Pours with a lightly hazy golden hued body with a large and retentive white head. Aromas of light herbal and slightly floral hops. Light tropical fruit notes as well. Bready malt, light caramel and light esters (that increase as it warms). A faint whiff of diacetyl, but barely threshold for me. Flavor has some light diacetyl as it warms, but it is very light. Medium bitterness, grainy. Light floral hops with a hint of fruitiness. Low alcohol notes. Lively bubbles and dry. A bit of a husky, tannic extraction as it warms. Not bad for a first batch.
