Champagne yeast pretty potent here. More than in other Brut IPAs I've had. Some light grape must. Golden. Pour with bubbly head. Dry finish. Ok, easy drinking.

12oz can. Sort of cloudy, tan-copper body. Big, frothy head. So....they say champagne yeast, whereas most time it is just an added enzyme....hmmm. This one comes off a little unruly, sloppy for the style. The aroma isn't that impressive, some caramel malt and soapy hops. Kind of like a cleaned up Belgian IPA at the end of the day. Not that impressive, but certainly drinkable and within the style.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 2/1/2019. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, white grape/wine, citrus peel/rind, wood, mint, peppercorn, pine, cracker, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent hop flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly crisp/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.8%. Overall this is a delicious brut IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink, with the modestly bitter/drying finish; not aggressive. Feels like Columbus, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin. Very vibrant, juicy, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; with a great clean pils malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively well made style example; but not as dry as others.

Fairly average interpretation of a fairly average style. Dry for sure, with a grainy malt base topped by grapefruit, grass, and a yeasty, resin-tinged finish. Decent, drinkable, but boring, which seems to be a hallmark of the Brut IPA.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours bright gold with a foamy white head. Mild aroma - a bit of citrus; some other stuff. Med body. Dry, yet mildly bready. Hop seems citrus/spice. Malty, yet still qualifying as brut IMHO. Pleasant medium bitterness. It's very nice ale. A good drink.

On Tap at the Handle Bar, Boise Light haze on this pale golden pour. Thin sticky off white head and lacing,. Some floral piney hop aroams and flavors. Light dry and clean but still some decent hoppy character.

Tap at Hair of the Dog, Bangkok. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting thin white head. The aroma is grainy, caramel malt, mineral, earthy, light citrus, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet with a crisp, malt, mineral, light metallic, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
