Yellow-orange pour. Aroma is mild, citrusy hops and malt. The flavor is of citrus hops, pale malt, and wheat. It's not as bitter as the ibus would suggest. Decent.

Can. Hazy deep golden body. Huge, frothy head, diminishing. Aroma of pine, citrus, grapefruit, toasted grain. Finish lightly tart and moderately bitter. Light rubber aftertaste. Medium body, watery/sticky texture, lively carbonation. Just ok.

Pours amber with a bubbly white head. Aroma of pine and citrus. Taste has slightly resinous initial hint with a smooth tropical element against a malt backdrop. Palate has pine. Pretty great.

Can, probably really NE IPA but it says white IPA on the can. Big foamy head. Bitter rude ale bite. Typical ubiquitous IPA. Hard to tell these apart. Smell is pine tar. Terribly on style. Rude-us maximus.

Sampled on draft at Tapped this beer poured a dark amber color with a medium sized foamy off white head that left very good lacing. The aroma was sweet, tangy and fruity. The flavor was tangy fruity hops with an earthy undertone. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied.

Dekalb Food Hall can: pours hazy with a creamy white head. Aroma is citrus and malty backbone. Taste is sweet, somewhat fruity. Tasted kind of old. Not sure if it was. Very meh.

At a tasting, small quickly disapearing bubbly head, clear and a bit intense yellow color, aroma of citrus and herbs with just a hint of orange marmalade and onion, flavor of orange marmalade, citrus, jammy maltiness and a medium shrubby bitterness. Nice, though not too exciting.

Can from Bayshore Beverage Sandusky. Pours a slightly hazy deep yellow color with a decent sized bubbly white head with moderate retention. Spicy earthy with a hint of yeast on the nose with lots of juicy citrus in there. Not as hoppy in the flavor and the yeast seems to take over. Lightly sweet bready with a somewhat dry finish that seconds later is filled with resinous bitter hops. This is a pretty good beer but with a few tweaks could be outstanding. I’m thinking a touch more malt backbone and some juicy late hopping.
