The aroma offers sweet grainy malts, bright grass, floral, a bit of dried corn.
The flavor follows with medium grainy sweetness, bready, bitter earthy and herbaceous, honey sweet quality,
tangerine, lingering sweetness. Light and refreshing. A bit of a corn flavor from an American Lager and the hopping of an IPA.

Full pour at the brewery.
Described as an adjunct IPA, I screwed up, jumped the gun and asked the bartender what the adjunct was (it's corn). I wish I'd tasted it blind to see if I'd have picked up the flavor.
Knowing there was corn in there though, I tasted a lot of it. Like blue corn tortillas at times, in that it was sweet and grainy. The texture of the beer was significantly different too, just feeling more sticky, sweet and heavy on the tongue.
The IPA characteristics seemed to suffer a bit from the corn presence, as the aroma wasn't as popping as is often the case with Threes and the flavor, though showing some delicious fruitiness, also lacked some oomph.
I still found myself drinking the beer and having sip after sip, but I realized about 3/4 of the way through I had had plenty.

Pours slightly hazy - mango flesh hue with a crisp white head.
Smells like a freshly mowed lawn and dried pine needles.
Tastes of pithy grapefruit rind, sharp sap, and bamboo honey.
Well carbonated and perfect for summer sunsets on the patio.
