Great initial smell. Inital taste is pretty hoppy and great but then the alcohol kicks in. It's still good though.
This beer is now named just the hops by their brewery

Served on-draught into a pilsner glass at the Aero in San Diego. Reviewed from notes.
A: Pours a half finger beige colour head of nice frothy cream, good thickness, and average retention. Colour is a semitransparent dark copper. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Not vibrant. Understated and appealing.
Sm: Floral hops, a firm clean malt presence, toasted malt character, caramelization, and a little hop bitterness. No pine, citrus, or oily notes. No yeast or alcohol is detectable.
T: Clean malt foundation with some floral hop notes atop. Oily bitterness emerges in the late second act and stays around. Imbalanced and horribly simple. Decently built; it's alright. Just lacks anything interesting.
Mf: Smooth and wet. Thick enough. Not custom-tailored to the flavours, but passable. Drinkable but very underwhelming. A pretty underbaked IPA. These brewers have some learning to do. Quite pedestrian. Meh.
