Sampled from the tap at District Brew Yards. Pours a slightly hazy light yellow with a light orange hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a nice dry citrus note with a touch of papaya with grass and light grain supporting. Flavor has earthy and dry citrus with a bit of light grain backing.

12 oz. can from Binny's. The label refers to this as Extra Circus III, and the hops are changed to Mosaic and Bravo. Kind of a pineapple nose after letting the pour relax. Hazy gold color under a sudsy head. The dryness of this brew is more apparent versus my experience of other Brut IPA's. There is still some chewy malt, but it's been rather thoroughly fermented out. Hops are giving me the usual pine resin, delivered nicely with the prickles of effervescence. So it does have a bit of champagne quality.

Smells like fruity citrus perfume. Looks slightly hazy. Taste is big nasty IPA all the way. What else can be said. If it smells like IPA, tastes like IPA and looks like IPA, what else is it?
