One of the best session IPAs I've ever had; served in a glass jar. Excellent and full dry-hopping gave this beer a huge nose comparable to a much stronger ale. Relatively high IBUs and a fine blend of hops in the brewing process added to the character with great citrus and pine flavors. Highly recommended...might be better than their flagship IPA and much better than their DIPA.

Served in Nonic. Poured a a lightly cloudy pale yellow, looks like a Pilsener or an AAL, and not as much like an IPA. The beer had about 3/4 inch of of white head that had light-moderate retention and nice lacing
The aroma featured floral hops up front, with some citrus poking through. There was no real grain or malt scent. Pretty similar on the palate, very low malt/grain presence, lightly floral hops at front, and assertively bitter hopping at the middle and back.
The body was mediumish, although a bit stickier than I would have preferred, and there was a lingering bite on the back of the tongue that stuck around longer than was pleasing. Drinkability was decent, the pint wasn't a chore to drink. Overall, a decently solid beer, one probably worth a shot if you see it.
