Draft at Yarde Tavern. Hazy yellow pour, thin silky white head. Aroma is sharp, biting citrus zest. Lemon, grapefruit. Taste mellows the zest a bit, more juicy, lactose possibly, sweetness. Still bitter enough to remain on the palate.

Pours hazy golden, thin white head. Aroma of hop oils, some oaky notes. Taste has wine must, more hop oils, slightly piney. Palate has hints of some tropical notes, more hop oils that convey pine and tropical fruits. Good.

Pours clear golden with a fluffy white head. Aroma of barley, flat malt, some grassy notes. Taste has some grassy oils, slightly floral, lingering malt. Palate has more fairly plain malt, some semblance of hops, perhaps saar. Good.

Taster pour from a can at Rising Pint Brewfest. It's a deeply hazy pale yellow with nice sparkle, ring of white head and light lacing. Aroma is yeast, smoked wheat, spice. Taste is wheat, clove, banana, strong bubblegum. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, the bubblegum dominates the flavor. Drinks more like a Hefeweizen than a Witbier.

Taster pour from a can at Rising Pint Brewfest. It's a cloudy, light brown-dark yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width off-white head with nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong orange-lemon citrus, creaminess reminiscent of creamsicle. Taste is as aroma. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, good strength of aroma and flavor with a little bit of variety for a single hop.

Eli Cannon's draught, 4/30/23. Moderately-to-lightly hazy, bronze-brass. Small, white head, moderate retention. A mix of more potent WC style hops and fruitier, juicier, more easygoing NE style. Cracker and biscuit-like malts support pretty well Some resin, sweat, lots of fruity yeast. Pretty potent. Soft, juicy but picking up a lot of pine and harder citrus. Strong, though not boozey or detrimentally resinous. Supportive, well-attenuated malts. Nice balancing act of a hybrid DIPA.
