Had on tap. Clear bronze body with a white head and decent carbonation visible. Smell and taste are very similar: bitter hops raining down on bready yeast, with slight phenols. Taste has a hint of citrus, but nothing to set it apart. Feel is yeasty and hoppy, that's it, not other interesting textures, rising and airy.

$ 5.83 (Including tax)/ alleged 16 oz pour (Actually more like 15 oz, $ 0.389/oz) at the brewery. Had with my meal of goat pot pie (Delicious!).
Served at bar reefer temperature, presumably in date.
Aroma – slight flowery aroma, but then with all the other delightful aromas wafting through the brew pub/restaurant, it was kind of difficult to be sure, even when horning the snifter.
Head – pretty much gone when it got to me. What was present was white and consisted of an irregular two to five mm ring (That’s right – I carry a linear measuring device when I go out - you may thank my OCD) and a thin partial layer.
Lacing – poor. Consisted of thin narrow partial rings.
Body – dark orange, hazy.
Flavor – starts bitter but not particularly dank or tropical, just basically hoppy. No malt, alcohol, nor diacetyl. No particular yeastiness or yeast phenolics.
Palate – medium, watery, lively carbonation.

This beer was listed at the brewery as XFIPA – experimental farmhouse IPA. It was a pretty good IPA but I’m not too sure about the farmhouse part. The server said that they had it in cans earlier but they had sold out.

Appearance 3.75, Aroma 3.5, Flavor 4, Palate 4, Overall 3.75.
