Amazingly hoppy and delicious. Bright, shiny hops of Talus, Citra, and HBC-586 experimental hit you with every sip.
I get shiny green grass, citrus and stone fruit flavors and aromas and they are strong, in a very good way. A+

The color of clear straw, some head retention.
Smell of fresh peeled orange.
Citrus and fruit, I get the stone fruit coming thru. Oranges for sure.
Nice clean and good carbonation.
Refreshingly balanced and good with some meats and cheeses.

Pours a clear straw color. Leaves a decent white head, not too thick not too thin. Nose is initially full on citrus, but that gives way to fresh pine. Taste is pure dank pine and bitterness, just like a west coast IPA should be. This is very well done!!!

Parrots need to live. Parrots need to fly. Parrots need to SQUAWK. Raul would never cage you. And Brad Pitt asks, “What’s in the BOX!? What’s in the f’n box!?” Raul would never hurt you. Squawk is a beer. A fine beer. Maybe not a Christmas Morning beer, but on a random spring night I’m sure it would even get the Easter bunny thumping.

Pours a clear golden yellow with a finger and a half of foamy head that settles to a thin ring with plenty of lacing. Aroma of citrus and pine. Taste follows nose. Very nice.
