Can, not quite fresh. Hazy orange with lasting dense head and lace. Light vanilla and lemon and spice pepper aroma. Medium light bready vanilla sweetness with some fruitiness with peppery dry finish and some lingering herbals. Very soft medium body. Creamy.

It's cloudy. It smells spicy and funky. The taste is not nearly as good as Oxbow's regular IPA. It's too spicy for my taste . It is definitely peppery, but there is also something like the aftertaste from a vitamin B complex - unpleasant. The mouthfeel is fine. Overall I would say that it might be a tasty beer for some people, but for me the spiciness was overwhelming. I am glad I only bought a single can.

Poured from a can into a tulip glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazed orange-yellow color with a one finger puffy head of white foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading over time and leaving a moderate sum of lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – the aroma is heavy of a citrus and funky smell with a rather big showing of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit as well as a nice funky smell along with smells of yeast and stale hay. At the same time there is a bit of a coriander smell along with notes of cardboard and some grass. Overall, a nice funked farmhouse smell.
Taste – The taste begins with a rather crisp cracker and biscuit malt flavor matched with a good showing of funk that was in the nose. There is a little bit of the citrus as well, with a good showing of grapefruit hop and some notes of orange and tangerine. At the same time there is a bit of an herbal flavor, which with the grapefruit, get stronger as the taste advances on the tongue. As the taste moves forward the sweet fades while the funk gets more intense, and with a bit of hay and fresh cut grass, one is left with a nice funked, hopped, and crisp taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body is rather light and crisp with a moderate carbonation level of fine bubbles. For the style the easy natured feel is great, accentuating the funk well and making a nice easy, crisp drinker.
Overall – A quite nice, hopped, and flavorful farmhouse. Certainly, worth a try.
