On tap at Noble Shepherd Craft Brewery in Bloomfield, NY.

This one pours a fairly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like mango, melon, marijuana, and pine.

This is pretty solid stuff, but there's a bitterness that's sort of astringent, rather than the typical pleasant IPA bitterness I'd want. It's more noticeable as the beer warms a bit.

This is medium bodied, creamy, with that lingering bitterness on the back end.

This is a rare miss from this brewery for me - they're usually pretty dependable. There were good things about this, but that extra bitterness seems like a flaw to me.
