Taster at brewery. Hazy golden pour, thin head, lacing coats the glass. Aroma is light, but taste does add a really unique " Scottish" vibe in the malts, not heavy on the peat, but definitely a lot of character.

On tap, pint glass.
Moderately hazy golden yellow and a really wonderful head. It’s creamy, meringue thick and long lasting.
Lemon zest, yellow grapefruit.
Pleasant, light pine, lemon, light malt.
Moderate body and carbonation.
Nice IPA. Splits its time between hazy and classic east coast.

Delicious east meets west-coast IPA! Slightly more malty than hoppy...extremely drinkable!

Excellent crisp, moderately clear APA (? It actually says 5.3% on my can) with plenty of hop flavor that's citrusy and slightly dank. A very well done beer that you could session a number of-- seems very underrated here!

Had this on draft at the ValleyFest Beer & Wine Festival 2021 at Massanutten Mountain on 9-18-21. Pretty solid offering and near sessionable. West coast offering that seemed to have less of a citrus and pine punch.

Golden color with a light haze. Firm, dense head. Lots of thick, clumpy streaky lace.
Citrus rind nose. Mild pale malt.
The hop is strong, making this a bitter beer throughout. Spritzy carbonation with a neutral carbonation level. The pale malt start is brief and dry. Long bitter aftertaste.
