"Our second year making this beer. Absolutely full of fresh picked hops from Whipple Creek Hop Farms. Brewed in the hop yard. Dry and full of citrus notes. Six pounds of hops per barrel."

Tag line is "Citrus upside the head and shoved up your nose. A dry and light-bodied DIPA"

At brewery, quick review:
Fairly pretty beer, clear and slightly dark golden with an orange hue. Head is ok, decent considering 11%.
Nose isn't too strong, with some sweetness that seems citrusy but is marred by butter.
Luckily the diacetyl indicator from the nose doesn't transfer to taste in kind. Not too sweet, but not I your face with citrus either. Lightly tart, perhaps. Strange for a DIPA, but not bad ignoring that.
Strange beer; for a wet hop I expected a more dry, perhaps resinous feel and taste. Outside of nose, the beer was enjoyable, but I'm not sure on the style.
