Pretty mediocre, not too bitter but very sour and grassy tasting. Maybe got a bad batch, but even if it was a little juicier with more fresh hop taste/aroma, there are still tastier, more complex offerings at the price.

A - Pours a dark orange / amber with a puff of off-white head. Nice retention and stick after each sip. Dare I say there is a bit of green tint in this brew? Did someone leave a turd in the punch bowl?
S - Not a huge nose on this one. Dank and resinous, and a bit of orange peel.
T - This drinks more one note than most of the other NEIPAs from Big Lake. Hop forward, piney and a bitter dry finish.
O - Not the best offering from Big Lake. I will not be coming back to this one when they have so many other really solid NEIPA's.
