5/16/18 (Chicago): $5.25 16 ounce pint glass draft pour at The Garage Bar & Sandwiches. Bronze pour, light white head, light carbonation. Fruity citrus aroma, hops as well. Excellent balanced citrus taste, bitter and pleasant. Nice firm mouth feel, carbonation holds. Overall very good pour.

On draft into pint glass.
Aroma wasn't too bad with some floral notes on this clear amber colored beer with medium foam on pour. But I hate vegetable tastes in beer. This has nothing I look for in an IPA as far as taste: herbal earthy and vegetable flavors. On top of that, it has quite a bitterness to it at the end. Did not particularly and enjoy and would' get again. But if someone likes vegetables to go along with descent bitterness in a beer, go for it.

Canned Spring 2016; drank 6/25/16 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque dark orange rust appearance.
A rough pour yielded a huge, noisy off-white head; frothy tree-rung lace.
Caramel, mango & pine notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Caramel, baking soda & urine flavors up front; cloying strawberry notes on the finish.
This smelled OK but man was it awful. Permanent pass.

I don't understand the mediocre ratings on this one. THIS SHIT IS GOOD! It is smooth, easy drinking. Reminds me of something from Southern Tier!

Taste: Tangy, citrus, floral, herbal hops with a dry finish. Nose is subtle hops. Amber color, unfiltered, nice broken lattice of lace to head. Medium body. Thirst quencher.
