West Coast White IPA

[2/21/15] Draught at Winter Brew Fest 2015 in San Diego. Hazy yellow. Aroma of wheat, graininess and mild hoppiness. Wheaty flavor, a bit citric, with mild hoppy bitterness. Refreshing.

Poured up on tap at the brewery where it exhibits a bright clear gold body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up a decent level of citrus hoppiness that has a malty sort of edge to it. The taste is nice and punchy with clementine and tangelo citrus hops that have nice flavor going on but there’s even more in the way of citrus hop bitterness. This is a solid IPA where the modest wheat addition may only be adding a smidgen to the body. The aromatics are limited but I’d do this again.
