Our collaboration w/ Pink Boots Society and a special hop blend from Yakima Chief hop farms. Earthy aromas, slight green bitterness.

Overall it’s a mushy not sure what it is ipa. Not a west coast hop forward and not a NE hazy. Got a 4 pk as it’s a LTO from my favorite local brewery and really tried to believe here but after 3 of these I’m moving on. I think it actually might be the malt bill that causing the confusion is there wheat in this?

This one pours a golden hazy orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like tangerine, orange rind, marijuana, earthy and spicy hops, and grapefruit.
This has a very unique and tasty bitterness - it's earthy and spicy, and definitely a touch green, as promised by the beer's description. There's enough juiciness to stave that off, with loads of tangerine, melon, and grapefruit. There is just a touch of bready malt sweetness.
This is medium bodied, creamy, and very drinkable, with a nice smooth finish.
Every time I have a new Prison City beer, I get sad that they are not located in Rochester.
