Sample at the tap room during the "Kindred 2nd Anniversary" on 04/07/2018. Slightly hazy pale golden color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily to a wispy film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of tart citrus, oak, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of vinous oak, tart lemon, floral yeast and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately sour with a citrusy aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Look, if you like IPA, pay attention! This can, I got from vintage, is pure IPA. Its big and bad and has plenty of hop bitterness. For $2, you can probably quench your double imperial IPA thirst as well. After popping the lid I get this mild fresh sharp IPA perfume nose. Hazy pale yellow with precipitants in there; does that make it NE style? Heheheh. Yes, a fix for the IPA craving. Its a six percenter and you know it, even feels like more. I think 'm catching a buzz near the end of the can, whew. Pretty good carbonation for an overly hopped brew.

500 ml bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts the whole glass. Thick soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, orange peel, coriander, pear, apple, peppercorn, clove, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, earthy hops, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange peel, coriander, pear, apple, peppercorn, clove, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spiciness and light herbal/grassy/citrus peel bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange peel, coriander, pear, apple, peppercorn, clove, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, earthy hops, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.3%. Overall this is a very good witbier. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, earthy hops, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Really great balance of all flavors. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Can labeled Lou-Red. Deep, ugly brownish red with a tan head. Bold malty profile with citrus hops underneath. Some pine and caramel. Reminds me of this style circa 2005. Malt bomb. Sweet finish.
