had this at their joint space with revision, and to my surprise liked it about as well as any of the revision beers i had while i was in, which is usually where those guys stand out, but this one is right there, a unique enough hop profile to stand out, relaxed bitterness despite still fitting in as a west coast type, just hits more dry hoppy than bittered, which is modern and cool, and there are some neat nuances to this, good overall quality, some fun stuff on tap in this place! just off from clear and with a little bit of color depth, not quite bronze but darker than yellow, maybe brassy toned, average white head on it, lighter body overall for all this hop flavor, simple but proper in its grain construction. something in the hops thats a little different, yellow floral character, white grape, green pear, but its not a fermentation derived estery thing, its hops, some weedy dankness too, meyer lemon, light copper minerality with the malt but fresh, distinctive for sure, somewhat juicy. the flavor is similar, cool fruit waves, still some woodsy bigness to it, a light gin thing, even sage maybe, but orchard fruit and white wine too, they pull a lot from these hops, subtle fuel, light toast, only moderate bitterness for the style which i think lends to drinkability, and some lightly oily texture from the hops too, good and pungent without being harsh in any way. a nice ipa, lots of personality, one of the better beers i drank in here actually. this is one i would buy in cans if it were available locally...
