by REVZEB from Illinois
Had on tap. Murky orange body, two fingers of white head, thick bands of lacing. Dank weedy and piney hops with big citrus in the nose. Taste really accentuates the grapefruit in the citrus, adds black pepper, and a touch of resin. Feel is well hopped, dank, yet has a strong backbone for everything to work off of

Brewed here in our state where Marijuana is legal, this has a great initial taste that compares to the first hit off a bowl of some kind buds. If you like IPA this is a good one.

Review entered from paper notes. 16oz pour in a tulip pint glass at the brewery.
Pours mostly clear, brassy gold, a finger of head, not a lot of active carbonation. Smell is deep tropical juice and some resin.
Taste is tropical juice, almost syrup sweet up front , but it dries out quickly and finishes with a slight bitter bite.
Mouthfeel is medium or so, still fairly light on the palate. Overall, very nice IPA.

Excellent IPA! Winter Edition is definitely worth trying. Full of flavor - pine, grapefruit, and tropical. My second one was better than the first and looking forward to my next.

Winter Edition.
Canned On date of 12/03/20 Thanks hophound.
Well it's clear as a bell. Golden in color. Fluffy white head rises just shy of 2 fingers but quickly settles in to a smattering of bubbles with light retention and lacing.
Aromas of weed, onion, mild herbal spice abound. A very nuanced hint of malt comes through at the end.
Taste follows the preview well. Herbal and dry bittering goes weedy. A smooth wet grass note peeks in too.
Mouthfeel is on the lighter side of medium, carbonation is also not pronounced. Slick but dry and bitter on the finish.
Overall, she's pretty. She smells good. And I think I love her. A tad more head retention would be nice.

I ejoyed this from the can chilled
the autum iteration is slightly darker amber with pale head
the fragrant herb in the hop aroma adds to a fruity scent of tropical quality
while the hops are up front in the taste the malt is enough to augment the overall taste and feel with subtle herbal almost spice-like and grapefruit hop in the taste
this is a quality IPA with flavor of hops the focus in a west coast style IPA that is well crafted

It smells like MJ, and I ain’t talking Michael Jordan, herbal, piney, hoppy, strong. It has a nice light golden hue, a little head and lacing.
Taste is similar to the smell, very hoppy, weedy, some malt and fruit flavors, citrus, poke thru. It’s a bittah monstah, but pretty well balanced as well. It reminds me of Surly Abrasive in that regard. I love their Elevated IPA, but this is my jam right here, worth every penny (paid 4.50 for the pint). I’ll not only buy again, but I’ll seek it out!

Pours bright straw with a thick fluffy white head,
Great head retention and lacing.
Dank pine, musty lemon.
Intense hop pine, firm bitterness, pine, grapefruit notes as well as lemon, orange zest.
Maybe simcoe and Chinook hops among others.
Dry, resinous finish.
Nice beer with a bitter edge and hop forward making a great sipper.

Pint can - Summer edition 2019 - Canned on 06/13/19, Best by 09/11/19:
Pours golden. a thin head leaves thin lacing.
The smell is of strong dank hops. They wanted dank, they got it. Musty pine with citrus and tropical notes, a hint of tangerine.
The taste is also dank. Mainly pine. Some citrus, tangerine and tropical notes. Caramel touch mixes in. Strong dank bitterness in the long finish.
Hits full-bodied. Hop goodness dances on the palate. Chewy.
Appropriately named - it is dank. If you like strong, dank beers seek this out. An awesome hop-forward, West Coast IPA!

Dark gold color. Large white head that leaves a lot of lace.
Dank for sure. Lots of pine.
Ditto for the taste. A lot of pine.
Light to medium bodied.
The dankest beer I have ever tried.

This is a review of Project Dank Summer 2018 Edition.
Pours from a can an auburn tan. Right off the bat I get why it's called Project Dank. Dankity dank dank, and thats all she wrote. Dank sticky pine aroma that's matched on the palate with a drying intense hoppiness.
