Stemless at the hotel to clear weight right before we head out to the airport. First time I don't go after the obvious RR choices.

Medium light gold, slightly dull, lovely dense, Cool Whip frothy head.
Fresh herbal citrus kick in the nose. In sensing a witbier feel.
Twangy, half-sharp, super herbal hops, heavy coriander, starchy dry finish, slight black pepper burn.

Quality, but not sure I actually like this. At least as a whole.

Bottled on 2/20/25. Stemless back at the hotel before the airport cab.

Clear, bright, light gold, insanely fluffy & sticky head. No infection, it's just voluminous.
Floral sour, pungent, extra sharp citrus nose.
Citrus forward, legit coriander no dust, complex multi grain, white pepper, sour lemon, moderate acidity, sharp herbal hops, no burn.

This is honestly great.

Via Bottlecraft North Park. Bottled 07.09.25, so less than a month old. Stemless wine glass back at the hotel first thing after work.

Nice initial cascade. It settles into a hazy, uniform, pale orange pour. Tall, sticky, lathery head.
Smell is bitter tangerine, sweet lemon, booze & some weed whacking.
Soft creamsicle orange, strong herbal & muted pine hops, a little menthol cooling, mild to moderate lingering astringency, overall bittersweet. Really amazing, concentrated tangerine burps will happen.
Extra frothy, slurry, a little dense, a touch boozy, high acid.
Tis a better than average hazy, with less candied fruit & more pith.

Decent enough. 3.6

500ml bottle. Nectarine aroma with notes of peach, grapefruit, tangerine, floral and grassy hops. Pours brilliantly clear golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with juicy nectarine, tangerine and grassy hop flavors. Finishes dry but still quite smooth with peach, grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Excellent ipa.
