Great great key lime nose, but hop bitter forward and back. Lemongrass hints.

My rating probably owes more to my general distrust of White IPAs than the beer itself, but I just can't summon much love for this stylistic offshoot. Lemongrass and lime leaf adjuncts add a citrus undertone, but the bitter, piney hops take away from the grassy subtleties and gentle sweetness you want from a well-rounded witbier. Traces of clove mix with citrus and a clingy hop back end, with yeast and herbal notes popping up in the fade. Pours well, and the nose has a nice mix of grass and clove and hop, but overall not my thing.
