Very nice hazy light copper and orange coloured body with a good, two centimetre tall off-white head that fades fairly fast. Aroma of coriander seed, yeast, hay, grass, wheat and quite a bit of hops - very typical for this style, and very nice and refreshing while still having a good amount of hops. Medium-bodied; Assertive wheat and curacao flavours with some subdued honey and perfume notes, but a more defined hop character and a mild malt and wheat note finish out the beer. Aftertaste shows a super subtle and defined wheat and yeast characteristic with some light edges of sugars and floral notes. Overall, a more refined and mild option for this style, but still showing a nice character and depth. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 30-March-2014 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 21-August-2014.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass and a mug. There were no noticeable differences between the two glasses.
The appearance was a hazy golden yellow to slight orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute.
The smell had a nice blend of sweet citrus and a light piney to spiciness running underneath.
The taste was mainly sweet through the previously mentioned flavors.
On the palate, this one sat pretty light and came across pretty sessionable. The carbonation was actually felt in a slight sharp way but wasn’t anything off - putting.
Overall, good white IPA, though not fully it’s own style just yet, this would be a worthy one to be a forerunner.

Sample at Rattle N Hum. Hazy straw color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily to a film. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted malt, hops and spice. Medium-bodied with flavors of yeast, hops and banana. The finish is mildly bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 9/30/2012. Pours hazy golden straw color with a 2 finger fluffy bright white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass, with a lot of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, pear, orange peel, grapefruit, coriander, clove, wheat, pepper, floral, herbal, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance, strength, and complexity of fruity and spicy notes. Taste of lemon, grapefruit, orange peel, pear, coriander, clove, wheat, pepper, floral, herbal, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of citrus, citrus peel, light fruits, coriander, clove, wheat, pepper, floral, herbal, and earthiness on the finish fora good bit. Fantastic balance of fruitiness with spices, with very nice complexity; and zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a moderately creamy and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent white IPA! Great balance and complexity of nicely robust flavors; and extremely smooth to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

12 oz can. Pours slightly hazy pale golden color with white head. Smells like a witbier with some citrus hops. Wheat and clove flavors with some dough and citrus hops. Medium body with moderate carbonation. I get what they’re going for but I’m not a fan, probably won’t get again.
