Poured a light, cloudy yellow body with minimal head and left lace patches down the glass. Slightly herbal and grassy aroma with bitter citric notes as well. Smooth beer, clean taste, still has some bitter citric hops that leave a dry and crisp finish but mostly a sweeter IPA w/ notes of something akin to tangerine/white grapefruit and tropical fruit.

Poured on tap at Churchkey DC into a Becher glass.

Opaque orange body appearance, with a slight turbidity to it. Creamy white head presented of a finger.

Aroma has an interesting whispy malt quality at first, is how I would describe it. Light powdered sugar, with touches of spicy faint hops, almost perfume like. Surprisingly not that much of a very hop forward sensing brew. Some faint thyme and sage herbs round things out, showcasing perhaps a small hint of possible diversity.

Palate improves considerably. Spicy tropical hop bent, with a long controlled finish. Mid palate has great astringency and a mild chewy texture. Flirts with touches of pineapple, almost juicy but not quite.

A pretty impressive IPA, but goes in a little bit of unexpected places.
