Pale yellow with a large, thick off-white head that slowly recedes to a really persistent blanket. Lace clings in huge swaths.

Pungent piney citrus and PEZ aromas fill the glass. Dank grass, orange, and lemon rind contribute as well.

Taste is pine, earth, and wood at first. The description says this is not bitter, and while it is delicate on the palate, it is still lightly bitter. Slowly some lemon flavor comes in. Attributes seem to have changed over time, now in August 2017 bringing grass, weed, dank onion, grapefruit, orange and apple.

Body is inconsistent. At one point, it was so thick it's nitro-like. At another point, most recently in August 2017, it was light and almost watery, with a light carbonation, finishing dry.
