Mostly-clear, pale liquid gold with a finger-and-a-half of white head. Modest lacing.
Grapefruit, grass and earth in the nose. These continue to the taste, somewhat refined, with some light piney bitterness in the aftertaste.
Syrupy feel with moderate carbonation.
This is one of the better fresh hopped beers I’ve had in a while. Delicious.

This is the 2018-Citra version. 12oz can poured into 16oz goblet. Poured a clean, clear light gold color, with 1/4 inch of white head that had low retention and lacing.
A lot of bright hop aroma popped out of the can right at the crack. In the glass the minimal malts were completely dominated by the hops. Same story on the tongue, all hops, no malt.
The body was on the thin side of medium, but not thin, and had a slightly semi-sweet finish. Drinkability was good, I look forward to my remaining cans. Overall, a nice FH brew, not among the elite, but very good. Worth trying if you see it.

Poured from the 32 oz jug purchased today at the brewery in Bellingham. Dark gold color with plenty of foam. Crisp mouthfeel with silky finish. Aromatic with a touch of honeysuckle.
This is one of the better fresh hop brews I've had this year. Full of hop flavor with a very modest bitterness. Melon taste is delicious. Sharp and spicy. Another tasty winner from Kulshan.

Pint poured at Malt & Vine.
Pours clear golden with a tiny head and not a lot of carbonation. Smell is delicate, but pretty fresh hops.
Taste is good, but not outstanding. Hay and grass, a little floral. Bitterness in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is nice, dry, but full. Overall, good, but not outstanding.
