Reissued temporarily. Purchased a crowler today. Light orange with some haze and a very lively white head. Nice citrus aroma. Well-balanced with a hint of sweetness with a tasty punch of citrus and pine. A very approachable IPA that drinks smooth. Medium-bodied.

First time having this since Alewerks wen unfiltered. Definitely changed this beer big for the better.
Look is hazy gold, frothy head with nice lacing.
Nose is big citrus, juicy, a bit tropical.
Flavor follows in the big juicy IPA category.
Feel is spectacular and vastly improved at this point.
If you haven't had this beer in the past 6 months or so it is definitely worth revisiting. I think it is much better than an 83 (current rating) and that the older version is likely holding this score down.
