Pale golden yellow color persistent tiny stream of bubbles and appealing spicy quince, earthy, pear, baguette and a hint of honey aromas. On the palate it shows a vibrant acidity, and a soft creamy mousse with golden raspberry, pear, and a hint of tangerine flavors with a nice minerality. The lingering finish brings to mind tangerine Alka Seltzer.

Sizzle-y white top pops up the zing then cleanly unlaces to a ring toss. Start the grinder you reprobate monkey. This has all the unkempt mating-cage malodorousness one could expect from such a surly primate. Sweet smelling as crystalline micturition; apple cider vinegar , whiskey sour, and lemon lozenges. Boilermaker texture, black lime, grilled lemon, lemon-lime sweet tarts, lemon alka seltzer. Overall, a little clunky, a little feral, but the finish is worth the trundle through the funky jungle. The monkey here is still golden, shimmering in a salty sunset. — 5 years ago

State of Brewing hazy IPA.
Rose-colored gold, opaque; melting hexagonal beeswax comb lacing turns levitating knives, woodcut claws and feathers. Orange, tangerine and apricot richness with tropical pineapple and banana leaf. Lime and lemon pith, lemon-lime bottlecap candy, Alka-seltzer, strangely, plantain, and truncated grapefruit. Perhaps lacks the creaminess of the hazy style in an attempt to keep the abv reasonable?
