Bottle at home on Sunday evening. Cloudy yellow one finger bright white head. Nose is yeasty and melon. Tastes of honey dew, nectarine, grassy for sure, lots of yeast, some veggie, and touch of funk. Smooth delicate palate. First glass was ok but second glass I really dug. Interesting

Draft at RnH-West. Clear gold with a really nice, thick, foamy froth of white head and heavy lacework. Citrus and yeast with a weird rotting vegetal thing going on. Bitter and dry, but thin too. Soft carbonation. Doesn't really work for me.

Draught at Tip Tap Room, 6/24/16.
Very clear, pale, straw-golden with a medium-sized white head that fades steadily to cover.
Belgian yeast in the nose isn’t exactly as classy as I was hoping/expecting, given how much respect I have for the brewer. Perhaps it’s because there’s some hop resin mixed in, but it comes off as heavily bubble gum-like, with lots of nectarine, peach and candy-like melon notes. Some crackery, bare, grainy malt behind it does very little to soften things and there’s a good deal of grassiness on the finish. Vaguely tropical at times, but just barely. No alcohol noted in aroma.
Malty in the texture, yet with very little sweetness, which I normally enjoy, but here, against all of the heavy grassiness, bitterness and grainy flavors, it doesn’t balance. Melon, nectarine, apple, dry pineapple and light notes of alcohol with the bubble gum coming on strong in the finish. It doesnt deliver the complexity or wealth of flavors you’d expect from an 8% beer but rather falls flat with inelegant flavors and too much grassy bitterness.

Draft at The Ginger Man, NYC. Appearance is clear pale gold with a white head. Aroma of citrus and pine with some floral notes. Taste is citrus, pine, caramel, mild funk, and floral notes. Finish is slightly lemony. Nice.

Mekelburg’s Brooklyn tap: pours hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is really floral and yeasty. Taste is sweet and flowery. The yeast is pretty nice here. This is one of the most delicate IIPAs I have ever had. Really good.
