Sampled from the growler on the way to MiSBF, thanks to the kind sole who brought this. Poured a clear gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was quite grassy with some hay and a hint of underlying pine. Flavor was quite similar with the main note being grass and hay and pine backing that up.

Bottle. Pours a near clear light orange gold with a white head that lasts and laces nicely. Aroma is nicely balanced between sweet grains and pine hops with just a slight underlying fruit note, perhaps some grapefruit. Flavor begins malty with some sweet and non sweet grains with pine hops and a bit of underlying fruit.

22oz bottle pours a totally, clear yellow with a thin, creamy white head. Very hoppy, floral, resinous aroma, candy too, orange zest, grapefruit zest. Flavor is bitter, lemons, grapefruit zest, limes, hardly any maltiness. Bone dry finish. Very aggressive.

Shaker pint draft at The Beer Bistro in Chicago, Illinois. Pour is a hazed orange golden with a slightly off white 1/2 inch head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is fresh, pine resin hops, along with a grainy earthiness. Fresh, clean and engaging nose. Taste is the dry resin and orange peel hop bitter, followed close behind with a grainy maltiness. Mineral in the finish, crisp and dry finish showing a bunch more of the pine. Palate is light bodied, and features the mentioned dry finish. Very easy drinking, nice one.
