Smell is incredible, pine and citrus notes instantly hit you the moment you open the can. Taste is as follows, while being extremely smooth to boot. Very unique and well done "hazy" ipa, one of the better offerings from BB.

This is an excellent and remarkable beer. It honestly tastes like a walk in the California redwoods. It’s got the fruit of the pines and the character of the bark. I just love this!
