Draft at the source. Orange copper body with a frothy beige head. Really green aroma. Pungent Cascade hops shine through. Robust malt bill underneath the leading hop character. Well-balanced and tasty.

On-tap at Bluejacket.
This beer looked great on paper. 100% Columbus wet hops grown in Virginia and shipped immediately to the brewery. However, the beer just didn't come together for me. The nose was mostly malt, which is disappointing for a wet hop IPA. The taste was slightly better with more hops coming through. Like a lot of their beers, this one seemed a little flat. It could have used more carbonation.
Waste of good hops, imho.

Nice clear medium gold. Nice light grapefruit and grassy notes in the taste and smell. Strong and not diminished. It's as if the hops were present. Fairly bitter taste. Medium body but on the lighter side. Pretty good. Get it.
