look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
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.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
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

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
