Pours a cloudy orangish yellow color with a finger width foamy head. Head retention and lacing are both very good. More of citrus aroma with a very slight amount of piney resin. Combination of orange and lemon on the taste. Very mild bitterness on the end. Nice and juicy feel. Medium bodied with mild to moderate carbonation.

Canned 1/19/18; drank 1/28/18 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque orange/yellow appearance.
A violent pour yielded a big, bright white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.
Wheat, lemon, cane sugar & mild dry grass notes in the nose.
Sticky medium mouthfeel.
Lemon, dry wheat & cane sugar flavors up front; mild dry grass notes on the finish.
Not as good as the Galaxy / Mosaic version; drinkable but too dry & tangy.

Pours a cloudy gold with an ample topper of thick white foam that kicks down pretty quick and leaves lacicles languishing lustrously.
Neutral and doughy sweet lead the cast of a medium strength aroma full of dank ganja, grapefruit, lemon, and lightly piney herbal bitter.
Faithful rendition of the aroma greets palate with a med. strength taste that is well balanced and bright. It ends with some hop funk and herbal bitter drying things nicely.
Not up to the usual standards, sorry to say. Less soft and more carb.'ed than optimal, a bit thin, and some resin buildup in the finish.
A simple beer that is great by any standards, except the ones EQ sets for themselves. Probably their weakest offering so far, but better than 90% of other IPA.
