Hazy blonde color with lots of fluffy white cap. Lots of effervescent bubbles.
Aroma is of a bowl of fruit - tropical mainly. Papaya, orange, grapefruit, some cracker and bread.
Flavor is pretty resiny with pine, hop oils, grapefruit rinds, orange pith, grass, and slight nuttiness. The more I drink it the worse it gets. It's not absolutely terrible, but definitely not as bright and fruity as the nose suggests.
Feel is proper, it's carbonated and semi-dry. Slight resiny finish.
Overall, it's not bad, but not fabulous. I'd pass next time.

Poured from a 12 oz can into a clear glass tulip. Canned on 01/10/17 on bottom of can.
A: Slightly hazy light yellow like lemonade with 1-finger off-white head which falls away quickly and leaves no lacing.
S: Very herbal and weedy aroma which would be fairly caustic to me usually (as this is a character I am sensitive to) but the malt grainy sweetness balances it well along with more resinous and darker hop aromas with more depth.
T: Flavor is also fairly herbal with grassy, lightly weedy (weeds in your yard rather than weed in your bong) flavors that are counter-balanced by lighter lemon citrus and melon flavors. Maltiness is not forgotten despite the light hue with a good crackery graininess hanging around. Moderately bitter and no yeast flavors detected.
M: Exceptional work in keeping this light bodied and dangerously drinkable. Carbonation was moderate.
O: L.D.L.T. Is a solid and unique IPA which went down extraordinarily easily and had unique mixes of hop and malt aromas and flavors.
