On tap at CBC 2016 - day 2. Hazy orange pour, white head. Funky cheese smell, tastes like grapefruit, caramel and tropical fruit.

Rimming white over bright pale blonde. 4
Musty lemon, mint, a bit of oyster cracker, and lime rind. 4
Saltines, crushing lime rind, some dank, heavy nectar, powdery bitterness, specks of green papaya and underripe pineapple, and lemon Pledge. 4.5
Almost medium, oily as all get out, bitter, slightly hot. 4
Nose gives me the fear of Sorachi Ace, and the truth ain’t far off. There’s the on trend light malts and tropical specks, but this is all about punishing citrus. Yet, intriguingly, that’s not the usual grapefruit, but lime (with some nuance.) A week shy of 4 months in the bottle, so I wonder if some aroma balance has dropped out, but I’m more inclined to think this is just the monster Buxton meant to make. 4.25

330ml bottle brought back from the UK. Orange and hazy. Aroma is hoppy but weird. Flavor has this strangeness, like juniper or spruce or something. Overall, a strange IPA/
