Can shared in London - cheers to Tips. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has some crunchy hay, grass, pale grains. Light sweet flavour with assertive grassy bitterness, husky grains, orange peel. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Grassy finish, more citrus peel and grain husk, some alcohol. So so.

Can at L6. It pours hazy orange - gold with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, doughy, Victoria sponge cake, gooseberry fool and icing sugar. The taste is dry, crisp, bitter, flower, grapefruit, pine dust, varnish, grapefruit, floury bread, wood, grassy and some rawness with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not so bad.

Draught at the brewery, 12/29/17.
Heavily hazy-to-soupy, lime-tinted bronze-maize. White bubbles immediately dissipate.
Yet another supposed primarily Hallertauer Blanc where I'm getting more of a Simcoe/Mosaic character. Lots of pine and light earth with a bit of a sulfur or rustic character to it. Not terribly juicy, with more green vegetal character than anything else. Nectarine, pineapple and spruce are strong but it's low on resin and very sparse on malt with no alcohol noted.
In the mouth it's quite dry, very highly attenuated and straddles the line between having enough malt and being overly dry. I think in the end it works out with tight carbonation and a good light juiciness from the hops. Pineapple, spruce and nectarine are strong with lemon and other light citrus notes. Hints of black pepper and other oddities from the H. Blanc. Much more of a light pale ale with a refreshing, zesty, dry, green hop character. Doesn't have the malt character or big flavors of an IPA. Still, it's quite enjoyable.

Pours cloudy orange into a tulip. Bright white soapy head recedes leaving spider lacing. Tangerine and dusty peach aromas. Sweet caramel, pineapple and mango upfront turning to bitter pith in the lasting tongue-stripping (x2) finish.

16 oz. can. With a stamp "New Kids on the Blanc" 9-20-17. Appearance is a hazy golden yellow, good lacing. Aroma is grassy dominant with hints of citrus and pineapple. Real fresh aroma. The dry hopping carries over into the flavor. Nice hot profile that doesn't overwhelm. Subtle grass, mild citrus, light pale green. Texture is dry with a refreshing finish. Nice IPA.
