"Best by 8/2/16"; drank 5/24/16 @ the Yarchives.
Cloudy orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a nice white head; strong, frothy tree-rung lace.
Lemon, pine, mild grapefruit & faint caramel notes in the nose.
Medium thin mouthfeel.
Lemon & dry pine flavors up front; grapefruit soda bite on the finish.
Not my IPA profile but refreshing enough to finish. I'd have another, but only in a pinch.

[Original rating 2016-06-11] 12 oz. bottle. Pours clear orange-gold with a thin white head. Aroma of grapefruit and faint grass. Taste is watery and bitter with lemon aftertaste.

from notes taken 07/18/17:
Barely clear golden amber, almost like a Hefe with a slight orange tint. Chunky head of lemon-white fine fluff. Aromas of faint resin, lemon, yeast, robust and crackery grains. Herbal, earthy, spicy, citric palate. Deliciously simple, starting strong with lemon juice, moving to rind and peppercorns. Medium-bodied, with mild, sparse, sudsy carbonation.
