Pours a pale gold with plenty of foam, some lingering bubbles but little lacing. Smell is all hops, very bright and snappy. Taste follows the nose with a ton of aggressive hop flavor, with a great skunky, white wine note and plenty of bitterness. Some lemon and pepper as well and no malt presence. Mouthfeel is crispy and clean.
Overall probably the best beer I've had in a few minutes, since it's stylistically a basic and perfect cold IPA. Nothing crazy or unexpected but refreshing and interesting. I drank it unexpectedly quick, no need to savor any of the complexities. That is certainly there if one wants to appreciate it, but I'm more a fan of how easily it goes down and how appreciable the flavor is on a hot day.
A great beer and another hit from a solid brewery in a style I personally love.

Appearance: Pours clear with a goldenstraw hue; the head builds to one finger and then fades to a film; speckles of lacing
Smell: Smells crisp and floral with a slightly piney edge
Taste: Starts out with a floral, citrus blossom aspect; through the middle, the citrus and pine flavors merge to create a pleasant bitterness; the finish is crisp and dry
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: The lighter body and crisp finish make this a great brew to crush while watching the NFL playoffs
