Delicious hoppy attack on the pallet, however does not linger and has a fantastic aftertaste





Thin head, light carbonation. Large amounts of mixed hops. Citrusy, earthy, and a touch piney. Finishes suprisingly clean with just a little bite from hops. Malt body just enough to hold up to the hops. Very crisp and drinkable. Refreshing with a deep, complex dank hop flavor. Alcohol hides well behind the hops. Fantastic beer.



I fill my growlers up with these when they come out. Awesome release that changes batch to batch. Never disappointed and look forward to each one.



February's release is still the best of the year IMO. This one is better than the 04.01 though. A lot cleaner tasting.



This is what a fresh hop IPA should taste like. I've found a lot of fresh hopped ales to be more subtle and grassy. Not this one. Excellent hop taste. Nailed it!







Reviewed the last edition. The 04.01 seemed to be slightly off. Enjoyed the previous release a lot more.



Very hopped and bitter. The finish is floral and then smooth. It's definitely growing on me.
