A golden blonde ipa with a thin white head. In aroma, crisp biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, light and smooth. In mouth, crisp biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light mineral, lager like, OK. On tap at CNY Brewfest 2016.

Draft at Beer Culture. Mostly clear gold. White head, decent lacing. Aroma is herbal hops, some fruity notes, and a bit of spice. Flavor is similar, with a clean, lighter bitterness. Clean. Average to lively carbonation. Decent enough.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 6/4/2016. Pours fairly crystal clear bright golden straw color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, white bread, cracker, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of bright citrus/tropical/earthy hops and light-moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, white bread, cracker, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus rind/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, melon, lemon/orange peel, light pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of bright citrus/tropical/earthy hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, moderately sticky, and lightly grainy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice hoppy blonde ale style. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of bright citrus/tropical/earthy hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
