June '17 draft...pours clear, bright, gold. Rings the foam. Light malt nose, dray hopped. Bitter rides the wave the the finish. Balanced, but certainly nicely bittered.

Crystal-clear, golden body; thick, chunky, white head; clumps of sticky foam splotched on the glass. Very faint aroma, mostly of grass with a touch of malt grain; twinge of lemon. Very bitter flavor with an odd tart edge; bland cereal taste. Medium body; very dry finish.

It appears the brewer's intent is a big, hop bitterness in the beer, and in that sense, they got it. But the beer lacks balance and depth. The aroma is very weak for so much hop usage and the the malt grains don't really complement the high-end bitterness. The beer comes across as one-dimensional overall. If you're looking for an in-your-face IBU offering, this is worth a shot.

Light yellow orange, decent head. Aroma was odd, malts. Flavor was weird and I swear the label said it had German hops. Very strange and not my cup of tea.
