Ridiculously hazy golden, orange and raw honey coloured body, all with a very large, massive five to six centimetre tall, soapy, large-bubbled, off-white head that fades fast. Aroma of dry grain, coriander seed, grapefruit, citrus, hay, wheat and a healthy dose of pepper. Light to Medium-bodied; Very crisp grain, hay and fresh-cut grass notes dominate with a lot of citrus, lemons and grapefruit fruitiness right behind, but none of those show any sweetness. Aftertaste is very crisp, incredibly dry, but showing some nice floral and almost saison-y notes with the wheat coming up the strongest, then some citrus, all followed by grass, peppers and a light hit of cleansers. Overall, a nice, light and airy IPA-ish beer that almost tastes like a slightly hoppier saison (think Tank 7/Boulevard), but this really is the epitome of a true 'White IPA', even though people won't call or categorise it like that. Good in the summer and even better to drink fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 19-June-2020 for US$3,77 sampled at my house here in Washington on 12-July-2020.
