Conehead

Draft at the brewery, 7/5/15
Hazy yellowish color with a white head and streaky lace. Citrus hops come through on the aroma with some spice/wheat/yeast. Flavor follows suit. Slightly fizzy with a mid dry finish. Nice example of a White IPA.

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy yellow color with a one and a half finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than about forty seconds. Light stringy lacing glazed the sides of the glass.
The smell had a big citrus burst over top of light crisp pine.
The taste was moderately sweet with a light bitter citrus rind balancing it out. A crisp sweet to bitter citrus to piney aftertaste leads into a wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. The wheat seems barely there but helps to give a decent body to it. Carbonation feels right to be an AIPA. Bitterness is there but a tad tamer than other AIPA’s, might be due to the wheat in it.
Overall, for an AIPA, it works. I believe Zero Gravity did what they wanted to. I’d have again.

Very cloudy hazy bright orange. 1 finger white head. Nose is great. Lots of those classic / modern american juicy hops. Mouthfeel is also pretty darn awesome, sticky with a sparkling water element. IBUs are intense, lingering bitterness just intense. Pretty damn juicy but more sweet and dense than my personal favorite DIPAs.

From cask. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is peachy and light citrusy hoppy. Bitter, fruity, citrusy and crisp hoppy. Lingering fruity and slight peachy. Ends dry and bitter.

Tastes similar, hoppy, tropical fruit, slightly wheaty, slight sweetness, really mellow and incredibly drinkable. I could guzzle this all evening. Lovely IPA from Vermont.
