Draught at Hops ’n Headz, Bellingham, WA; 6% ABV
Cloudy golden color. Smooth in character, mild malt, and with a nice citrusy hopping, a bit lemony.
Pleasant.

I ordered this blind from the tap handle, assuming I would getting Descender IPA. While not disappointing, I was taken aback at how light and smooth it was, very silky in texture. Grains/malt feature here, no hops to speak of. Blend of a wheat ale, Golden’s and minor lager characteristics. A nice diversion...

On tap at Millers at the Cove. Pours a clear gold with a near white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a nice citrus note with a bit of grass and a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has a bit of resin and bitter citrus up front with growing sweet citrus and sweet grains.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving some messy lacing sliding into the beer.
The smell had a big sweet burst of tropical goodness flowing into floral and sweet grassy qualities.
The taste was mainly sweet with barely any bitterness. Tropical fruits really dominate and allowing a sticky sweet aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly smooth and sweet somewhat candy - like to semi-creaminess runs along my tongue.
Overall, APA or APWA, I’m thinking this is an APA, as I don’t get any wheat bite anywhere. Still a delicious beer I’d probably come back to preferably in the Summer.

Draft - Nice perfumy citrus and some tropical fruit. Clearish gold with a rich white head. Tastes just as it smells but more muted. A bit boring but nice.

On tap at Hop 'n Headz, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney and floral hops, soap notes, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour brings out lots of fruity, floral hops, balanced by just enough dry biscuity malt. Bright, fruity and floral. Well-made and drinkable.

12 oz can, thanks Amber. Aroma consists of dough, pine, lemon. Pours hazy orange with a small white head that falls after a minute into a ring of foam. Taste is fairly bitter backed by some sweetness, crisp and refreshing. Doesn’t taste 6%. Highly carbonated with a fairly thin body. Nicely made pale.

12 oz can pour. Brownish yellow color. Malt forward with a light bready aroma. A little malty up front with a wet, sweet finish. Not a whole lot of flavor, but very drinkable for sure. Overall, it?s alright.
