Draft at the source. Brewer Colby explained that this is his attempt at a cloudy New England IPA, but the beer clarified anyway, despite his best efforts of adding oats, grinding the malts to a fine powder, etc. But I’m glad he failed - it’s a slightly hazy golden color with a fluffy white head. Aroma of light fruit. Taste is bittersweet floral fruit. Tasty, and it looks good too.
