Draught at Novare Res, 10/11/15.
Very deep golden-yellow body shows good clarity and plentiful carbonation creating a snow-white head that is well-retained.
Mangoes, tangerines, plenty of vanilla and honey and some light pine are all notable in the nose. Lots of fruitiness, some grassiness and a pinch too much punchy/tanginess for my liking, though it’s very clean and no alcohol shows through.
The flavor is given heavily to the malt, which, while fairly well-attenuated, is still incredibly rich. Near-chewy texture to it, but for the ample, appropriate carbonation. Hops provide orange peel, pine and peach/nectarine/tangerine fruitiness in concert with the sweet honey and sugar-dough-like maltiness. Agree greatly with the other raters. This is a bit too safe for my liking, and the hops aren’t all that impressive, being too acidic/punchy while also getting drowned in very heavily rich maltiness. Still, the production and quality of brewing is there, just not my favorite recipe here.

LSAT Freedom Trip #67. Keg at Novare Res. Clear golden, large creamy white head, good retention. Aroma of citrus hops and wheat. The taste is wheat, tropical fruits, lemongrass, dandelion. Medium bodied.

750 ml growler shared by Willrunforbeer. Hazy gold with some lasting head retention. Aroma has notes of melons, citrus and wheat.
Wheat base is over powered by the hops yet the bitterness is low. Pretty moderate level of bitterness of grapefruit rind that hangs around after the sip. Pretty well balanced with a lot of fruit. As I finished the snifter I realized the bitterness started to stack up. Pretty good IPA

Growler from the source. Deep crystal clear deep golden color with a decent long lasting bubbly white head. The nose has got juicy sweet fruity aromas with hints of earth and melon rind with bits of honey sweet malt. The flavor is sweet honey like maltiness with just a touch of carmelization. Earthy, citrus bitterness barely counters the malt or my perception of sweetness. Bitter pithy hops linger long after each sip. Interesting brew, I had trouble finding the wheat in here and it seemed a bit sweet for my tastes.
