12 oz. draft at the brewery. Pours a cloudy pale yellow color. Bold citrus and herbal/danky hints. The bitterness is mild but here. Hints of juice with the herbal, dank notes balancing the citrus. Was informed that this is all Citra hops. Extremely tasty!

12 oz. draft at the brewery. Appearance is a lightly cloudy golden color. Aroma follows the flavor. Tastes of florals, subtle pepper, mild yeasty character. Hints of straw or hay. Malted wheat. Clean abrupt finish. Quite nice.

12 oz. draft at the brewery. The base has pilsner and some sweeter malt. The yeast is bold and has bubblegum and a mild pepper character. Lots of fruity esters as well. Pretty much a normal Tripel. Crafted well.

32 oz. growler from the brewery. Dull hazy pale yellow appearance. Aroma is yeasty, mild citrus-sweet, light clove. Flavor is more of the same. Classic Wit Bier.

32 oz. growler purchased at the brewery and sat in the fridge about 2 weeks. Brighter hazy, golden appearance. The Mosaic comes off bright and fruity in both aroma and flavor. Bolder fruit than you would normally find in this hop. Nice crisp texture with a dry finish. Well made. Very easy to drink.

32 oz. growler from the source. Sat in the fridge almost 2 weeks. Beautiful purple magenta color. Flavor shows a very slight tartness in a thick fruity smoothie kind of way. Huge lingering Boysenberry. Good balance of tartness and fruit. Delicious!

Growler filled 7/22, drunk 8/3/18, shared by Stacey, thanks!
Hazy peach-copper. White head slowly falls to cover showing good retention there.
Bit of West Coast and NE throughout the nose show nectarine, pineapple, mango and strong pine. Pretty nice, though a touch of vegetal Mosaic character. No alcohol, low resin and sparse malt.
In the mouth it's a bit garlic-y, though not badly so. Mango and pine provide an interesting juxtaposition while lightly juicy pineapple and drier nectarine emerge on the end. Great texture, as New Park seems to have nailed down, with engaging carbonation and soft, supple malt. Warming shows some cantaloupe, peach-papaya and some hot, twangy sharpness. Pretty nice, but I don't like the acidic, pine and bad Mosaic notes.

Clear, bright brass. White head fades steadily to a ring.
Banana and light pepper phenols with little/no clove and a good mix of nutty and cereal-like wheat. Light honey from the malt but it seems very wheat-focused and highly attenuated. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth clove and bubble gum are evident; much more so than I'd seen in the nose. Meh, rather Americanized and very estery. Light and attenuated but still malty and soft, at least. Honey-rich with light bitterness and herbal touches. Good attempt and not too clovey. Really nice base malt and wheat character with engaging carbonation.
