Citrus-heavy hops in a dry, yet assertive IPA... At Beer Camp, no beer style is off limits, so we jumped at the idea of doing a Golden IPA using wheat malt for a light, dry body and bold American and experimental hops for intense citrus flavor. The perfect spring seasonal, we invite you to enjoy this year’s Beer Camp encore.

12 oz bottle from Half Time. Pours an unclear yellow, thin had, light, spotty lace. Aroma is light, with grassy and citrus notes. Taste is more pronounced and much more citrusy. Solid mouthfeel. Maybe a little thin, but solid. Not a bad beer, but nothing too exciting.

Hazed pale golden color with a fine white head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Ok balance between sweetness versus bitterness. Semi dry ending. Mild citric, some pine, mild fruity and herbal flavor. Mild easy drinkable ale.

Tap@Taphouse, Copenhagen - Almost clear golden yellow pour with white ringed head. Fruity aroma and taste with a nice cross section of citrus and tropical fruits, grapefruit, orange, some lemony hop notes, piney hoppy bitter finish. Refreshing.

Pale yellow. No head. Good mouthfeel. Really creamy. Light aroma mostly due to their tasters. The bitterness. Is intense. Dry oranges, pine bark. Almost resinous.
