Keg at the experiment. A light hazed yellow straw coloured pour with big ol' frothy white head. Aroma is unusual, floral citrus, big perfume, kaffir lime leaves, shurbet. Lovely. Flavour is composed of light wheaty grains, semi crisp, lime zest, kaffir, big spicy citrus lovely. Palate is frothy carbonation, light pithy finish. Palate is semi crisp, pithy, highish carbonation. Really good.

Draft pour pint, enjoyed at Populuxe. A pale, cloudy yellow pour, that actually looks green on top of these signature Populuxe blue tables they have. Straw aroma, hinted spices. Flavor is cool, light, pretty refreshing. Straw background. Apple grain front. A very easy drinker. Late lingering Belgian like yeast impression. Not a bad wit here.

Draft pour to a tulip at Populuxe. A dark copper pour that shines like a penny in this beautiful Seattle sun. Caramel malts on the aroma, some spice, some tart indication. Cool flavor up front, bready, spicy and caramel malts. Multi layered flavor going on here. Malty, but remains a refreshing brew to enjoy in the hot sun. Unique, and a very fun try here.

Draft pour pint at Populuxe. A mostly clean golden orange appearance. Patchy head. A nice peachy orange fruit aroma. Flavor is cool. Mostly refreshing. Has a peach constant that I can't help but enjoy. White peach, semi bitter citrus hops, and a juicy finish. Hazy impressions in a disguised format. A lot of flavor. Pretty good IPA.

Draft pour at Populuxe, this year's vintage listed at 8.3%. Pours a reddish brown color with almost no head. Plastic in flavor. Completely flat. Offputting grains. Dusty finish. Watered down malt beverage. This was a disappointment. Sad to say I have no idea what they were going for here. This was not for me.

Draft pour pint at Populuxe. A semi clean golden orange pour with a thick foam head and lacing. A sweet IPA here upon first impression. Candy like flavors, with an overly sweet fruit candy finish. Dont care for this offering at all. One sided, and all on the wrong side. Just not for me I suppose.

Draft pour to a tulip at Populuxe. A cloudy pale gold pour with almost no head. Rich aroma, tart apple and orange fruit. Flavor is a tart wheat and orange fruit. Satsuma sour. Hop quality there, but heavily surrounded. Apple, orange, and slight grapefruit. Interesting sour here.

Draft pour at the new Populuxe. A clean and clear copper pour. Very nice aroma of fresh grapefruit. Similar to their Inside Voice IS A. Similar recipes? Juicy grapefruit flavor as well, but borders candy like. Definitely a sweet side to this. Has a watery side to it, but the able that is there is good overall. Pleasant.

Draft pour at Populuxe. A semi cloudy golden yellow pour with almost no head. Banana, floral heavy aroma. Flavor is a mix of banana, Belgian. Yeast, and a touch of cleaner. Slight harsh flavor, but the flavor up front is good. Just hate the lingering finish on this. A couple tweaks away.

Draft pour at Populuxe. A very clean and clear bronze pour with plenty of head and lacing. Rich malts and grapefruit hops on the aroma. Flavor is a mellow melon and grapefruit hop, with a sweet malt background. Low in bitter for my expectations within the style. Citrus peel, good hop quality to it. A pleasant session IPA here for sure.
