7/7/21...pours light gold with a fluffy foam head. Very faint floral nose. Slight fruit. Sharp Spicy oily open. Light bodied. Smooth flavor profile. Very simple IPA.

great hazy here, super light as they go, and not just in the alcohol, but in the body and weight of it too, it just drinks easier than most of these, not all full of starch and sediment and protein, and while it looks plenty hazy in the glass, its a rather crushable drink. not sure what the hops are in here, but it has a southern hemisphere vibe to me, white wine grapes and kiwi fruit and pineapple in the nose, could be galaxy, even a lime leaf brightness here, herbal and citrusy as well, clean as these go, nothing vegetal about it, and very little apparent sweetness from the malt. the flavor is similar, meyer lemon and tangerine to me now, a touch sweet, but it accentuates the hops in the center. the ferment is super clean, so the hops really pop on the swallow, really through the whole back half of this. i get plenty of lemongrassy and green tea notes late as well, maybe even a hint of coconut. quite tropical and modern, smooth in mouthfeel, well carbonated, and overall an excellent quality hazy on this lighter end of the spectrum. these guys have always been good, but it seems like their hoppy beer has improved in recent years. really dug this one.
