Hazy dark orange color, small white head. Overriped fruits, pine, citrus in the nose. Medium-bodied. Quite fruity hoppyness, pale malty, light notes of resin. Easy but enjoyable.

Bottle at Ales and Lagers, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a cloudy medium amber with a thin white broken head. The aroma is hoppy leading to a medium bitter, hoppy, spicy flavour which is smooth on the palate and super refreshing.

Nose is tropical fruit hoppy, mango and pineapple, though the flavor veers toward grapefruity citrus. Palate is weak and light, surely by design owing to the use of what in the grain bill. Its refreshing and has a nice hop profile but feel that it leaves something out.

Bottle. Pour a cloudy orange yellow with medium creamy white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma Is a fruit and funk. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet hop and light citrus and crisp finish. Easy to drink a good wheat from Magic Hat.

12oz bottle. Hazy orange with a steady, cloudy white head. Clean citrus hop aroma. Tastes pretty much like an APA. A touch of wheat, but an even heavier earthy feel, and the dominating Magic Hat yeast gives it a fruity, toffee flavor. Not outright bad, but doesn’t accomplish anything stylistically. Decently hopped, but the malt background is just sort of a caramel tinged mess. Unimpressive, but drinkable.

Pour is a hazy orange with a average white head. Aroma is a citrus hop with a decent wheaty malt base. Flavor is about the same. nice citrus hop to start then a wheat aspect takes over. NOthing eart shattering here, just a decent easy drinking IPA.

Hazy golden coloured body with a copper glow and a nice sized, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of fresh citrus, grassy, herbal and sweet hops with a bunch of alcohol, some candy sugar and a touch of citrus. Light to Medium-bodied; Sharp and acidic at first with some passionfruit, guava and citrus fruit notes then showing some light grassy and herbal hop notes, but not so strongly. Aftertaste is a touch hoppy and bitter, but mostly sweet and fruity - a touch of the wheat is noticeable at the very end. Overall, a decent beer, a nice interesting take on both an IPA and an American Wheat - not a bad offering, but not amazing. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 18-November-2011 for US$2.35 sampled at home in Washington on 12-April-2012.

Refrigerated Encore bottle poure into a weizen glass. Pours hazy deep golden with couple inch head bright white head that dies some. Some lacing, medium body, medium carbonation, and slightly hoppy aroma. Taste is wheaty malt, some grapefruit, a hint of pine, and finishes long slightly bitter hops. Just as the bottle says a marriage between and american wheat and an IPA. Surprisingly good.
