Cloudy with a white hue. Moderate head that settles to film. Chunky streaks with a fine blanket in between.
Weedy hop smell with light very pale malt. Slightly sweet.
The taste departs from the smell with more earthiness and straight up black peppery hop bitterness. Decent body with an above average effervescence. Clean and refreshing. Longer bitter aftertaste.

Growlette from the brewery.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a murky dark pale yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. Slight lace ran here and there.
The aroma packed in a ton of resinous hops over top of some thick grapefruit pulpy hop notes. Slight bitter rind at the end.
The flavor was bittersweet fully shaping the grapefruit pulp bittersweetness to the resin/piney semi-subduing bitterness. Touch of clean biscuit maltiness. Light aftertaste of the grapefruit and pine.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fairly light with it's ABV coming across as projected. Light resinous finish.
Overall, as an APA, it's pretty nice and would be one that I'd welcome again.
