Glowing green color and aromatics that recall freshly-cut grass, lemon-lime citrus flavors, and sticky pine resin. This ale is made with hops ... complex multi-chromatic shades of green that create a dripping sensory experience!

L: Poured from a tallboy can to a pint glass. Had a pale yellow color and a very cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, somewhat long-lasting head. Above average lacing.
S: A pretty good aroma of dank hops, citrus fruit, a little grass, malt, and pine.
T: Tasted of a good amount of citrus fruit (lemon, in particular), some pine notes (just enough to make things interesting), some dank hops (not overdone, though), a slight grassiness, and a bit of malt (mostly in the finish; not a big factor). A focused, light, and enjoyable flavor. Not as aggressive as some IPAs, but definitely tasty.
F: A good amount of carbonation with a sharp finish. Light-bodied.
O: In general, a well done, easy to drink IPA. Worth a try.

A- Cloudy and murky pale golden yellow pour from the tallboy into a chalice. The cap shoots up fast to an inch high with fairly good retention. A few sheets as well as a decent amount of spotty lace.
S- Hmm, fruity hops open up the aroma but right alongside it is this homebrew almost oxidized hop aroma. Orange juice, grapefruit, tropical and stone fruit but hard to pull specific notes. A decent suggestion of sweetness.
T- Just generally hoppy with a lot of citrus and again that homebrew sort of oxidized hop type flavor with hints of onion, garlic, tangerine, orange juice, grapefruit and acrid hop powder. A decent hint of sweetness and a sharp bitterness in the finish.
MF- Very fluffy and puffy light-medium bodied brew. The carbonation level is on the high side and it ends with a vegetal hop powdery bitterness.
Just has a bit of a homebrew feel (knowing from my own experience) of harsh hops and a bit of oxidation to go along with citrus and tropical hops. A bit disappointed by this one.

Fairly attractive brew by FO standards: murky lemon yellow body, good head production, nice retention, and excellent lacing. Some unattractive floaties, but not as bad as some of their offerings. Nearly opaque.
Nose is unabashedly green: pine, grass, basil, pepper, mild dank herbs, lemon peel, orange, oregano. Hints of tropical fruit lurk behind, providing depth and complexity, but this is primarily bright.
Bright, resinous, herbal, bitter, dank ... really delivers on the palate. A bit of buttery, crackery malt, but the focus is on the bright hops, punctuated with notes of citrus.
Lively and light-to-medium bodied. Plenty of sting. Despite the huge hop dose, this is an excellent body for an APA.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on April 27, 2019. Waves of green like you won't believe. Living in the galaxies beyond our observable sensory spectrum, we've extracted every particle of hop character allowed by the laws of physics.

Taster at Interstate. Pale golden, mild haze. Aroma is light pine and lemon zest. Taste continues with more of the same flavors. Smooth and silky. Nice sharp finish
