City and Country brewers used a piece of evergreen on their alestake (a pole) announcing they had beer to serve. This beer celebrates the other "green" in brewing: hops, which are used for aroma, flavour, bitterness, and preservation. Those who like hoppy beers, like this India Pale Ale (IPA), celebrate their releases and drink them fresh, as patrons seeing an evergreen bough on the brewer's alestake did in the past. That's when IPA becomes IP Yay.

From notes
Appearance: It has a nice deep hazy golden/orange color to it. It has a nice white head that dies down moderately and leaves some nice lacing.
Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of pine resin, a light grassiness, some citrus, bready/toasty malts and some sweet caramel.
Taste: Like the aromas, it has nice dank piney/grassy hops followed by some citrus, a bready/toast malt backbone with light caramel.
Mouthfeel: It has a low-med carbonation with a nice overall balance and feel.
Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied by good flavors and aromas. Solid IPA.
Serving type: can
