The star of the show here is the Amarillo hop hash – the brewers kept the malt bill light to allow the concentrated hop flavor to shine through, differentiating it from other session IPAs. Pungent with floral, tropical citrus fruit flavors; the hop hash gives it that one of a kind chewy, gooey, resiny mouthfeel. As the chaser, SweetWater gave it a hefty dry hop to enhance the potent aromas. Ahtanum gives it orange and grapefruit tones, Crystal for a little kick of spiciness, and El Dorado bringing some pear and watermelon characteristics. SweetWater is one of the only breweries using hop hash.

Excellent flavor - just the right amount of hops, balancing the slight citrus. Minimal aftertaste.

Fresh bottle poured.
Faint aroma of pine and hop.
Flavor matches aroma.
Got a little bit better once it warmed up but it's just kinda blah to me.

12 oz can ... 12/20/16 ... over two months in the can ...
Pours lighter amber, moderate haze, light khaki cap, leaves fine bubble film, and decetn looking fine strands and spots of lacing.
Mild citric hop nose
Better then decent SIPA, moderate levels of citrus and resiny hop....worth a try...good warmer weather sessioner and/or a beer to take somewhere like the beach

Bottle into pint appears a hazy golden yellow with white cap.
Aroma is citrusy with hops leaning towards lemon zest and slight cereal grain freshness.
Taste has that same lemony hop feel with cereal grain sweetness backdrop.
Light in body and modestly carbonated. Its ok. Not something I need to have again but not terrible.
