Hazy straw color. Has a decent white head with good retention. Lots of lacing.
Very grassy aroma. Good amount of citrus. Earthy.
Taste has notes of melon up front with a finish of lime and grapefruit pith. Earthy and floral.
Feel is light side of medium. Decent carbonation. Extremely dry.
Overall a pretty good beer. On the bitter side for the style but nicely balanced.

Canned a month ago.
L -- Hazy yellow-amber with a half finger of off-white head produced with moderate pour. Pretty sudsy, head dissipates quickly leaving some lacing
S -- Yellow grapefruit pith, concrete right after rain, dried floral, biscuit
T -- Leafy, earthy, crackery, and pithy. Very little juicy character from the hops, although the bitterness flies off the palate quickly and avoids weighing it down too much
F -- Quite dry. Surprisingly light mouthfeel, almost like a brut IPA. Medium carb.
O -- Probably the most "traditionalist" in the core lineup from Brick and Feather
73/100

Pours a hazy lemon peel yellow with a modest, white, fluffy head. Hops are forefront with a subtle but ample malt backbone to keep things aligned. Thankfully, I don't get a lot of juicy notes going on - there's a pleasant bitterness from the hops that lingers on the tongue. Finish i on the dry side. Quite tasty and definitely worthy of your consideration.

Brewers notes: Letters from Zelda - IPA, 6.5% abv
Our original American IPA! This beer features a lush, fruity body with notes of tangerine, grapefruit and melon, set upon a smooth, supportive malt base. The finish is clean and slightly sweet. Brewed with American and British 2-row barleys, and hopped with five different hops, including a healthy dose of Amarillo.
Frothy two finger off white foam cap over a glass of orange juice liquid , reduces to a pun up thick layer and spotty lacings
Aroma is orange citrus, grapefruit, whiff of earthiness
Taste is tangerine, grapefruit. Whisp of melon on the finish
Sudsy mouthfeel , gentle hop nibble , semi dry finish
Good beer

Poured from a can dated 2/24/22
Cloudy straw colored with a soapy head light lacing thin cap
Aroma is kind of earthy/ skunky some citrus and malt and yeast
Taste is citrus as in lime, biscuit and earthy
Mouthfeel is resinous and lingering bitterness, slight pucker factor. Light drinking, medium carbonation
Overall it’s a sour like bitter beer, drinks fairly easy and kind of tasty
