Once a showcase for Experimental Hop #342, Penny Arcade has been reborn as a 6.2% IPA featuring Kohatu and Cashmere hops. Its new grist consists of Maris Otter, flaked wheat, and oat malt.

Beer is a clear pale yellow. It looks a bit metallic and okay but I'm not entirely taken with it.
Hop is interesting. It's mainly pine bitterness with a slight dank Ness to it. Light almost un detectable bread note.
Medium body but thin. Smooth. Light carbonation.
Not bad but not their best. Still if you like bitter and slight dank.

16.9 oz bottled dated 9/7 poured into Teku glass. Has Experimental Hop 342, which apparently is high alpha and aromatic. I can Google.
L: 2F head, spotty lacing and ring. Pretty good retention before that. Beer is light gold.
S: I would say Experimental Hop 342 has a lot of light citrus and melon qualities. Light crystal malts and a bit of earthiness.
T: Light citrus and melon as it tends to follow the nose. Light dank earthiness, but not much pineyness on the finish. Only slightly bitter at the very end.
F: Light bodied, light carbonation. Good construction and balance.
O: Very nice light, almost session IPA. Very pleasant to drink.

From a growler, pours a chill-hazed lemon-gold. Big 2 fingers of foam are dense and bright white, leaving webby lacing.
Smell from what they list as "Experimental Hop #342" is primarily white grape juice, along with some honeydew and a bit of grassiness and tart citrus. Taste is the same, with the addition of some spicy herbal notes. Modest bitterness on the finish.
Feel is on the lighter side of medium. A seamless, easy drinking beer that's still packed with deliciousness.
