I’m kinda ashamed that it’s April and I’m just now trying my first official Westbrook beer, especially since this IPA is such a solid creation. The malts are heavier than the description would leave you to believe, giving the beer a nice, bready, caramel-tinged base and providing enough sweetness to counter the huge wave of hops that follows. No clue what kind of hops they may be-- I’m guessing Simcoe, just because I always guess Simcoe (thus meaning one day I’ll be correct.) A stronger nose would be nice, but that’s the only real drawback to this pint, and even that complaint is minor. Good beer.

A hazed blonde weisse with a very thin white head. A lightly lactic aroma, faint cloves. In aroma, a crisp lactic berliner weisse, lightly fruity, refreshing, not bad. On tap at Brewvival, Feb. 26 2011.
