In high school I was in a band called Zephyr, and much like that band, this beer is okay but not something I necessarily want to revisit.

Draught at Picco, 5/30/17.
Light brass-copper, good clarity and a white head atop showing modest retention.
Very fruity with some light juiciness, pineapple and cherry. Medium malts lend caramel but it’s not overly bready or malt-dominated, thankfully. I definitely respect Rising Tide’s failure to buy in to hype and while this IPA has aspects of a NE IPA, it incorporates the malt elements of the old East Coast IPA, while still having a bit more West Coast citrus hop elements.
Fairly soft texture, malty, dry, and with some specialty malt "hardness". Very fruity, with caramel, bread, orange, cherry and light pineapple juice. Sweetness develops with warming, but it doesn’t get out of control. Carbonation is medium, fairly engaging. I could do with a little less fruitiness and malt character, but that’s just my preference; this is still a well-done IPA.

Slightly hazy copper and light bronze coloured body with a ridiculously large, super soapy pure white head, about eight centimetres tall, perhaps closer to ten! Aroma of pure bread, yeast, grass, hay, light earth and a bit of wheat. Light to Medium-bodied; Slightly sweet flavour of pears and apples noticeable along with a large wheatie and bready kick showing some pungent yeast elements, a big dose of sugars and a more fruity finish than I expected. Aftertaste is fairly mild with a small dose of sweetness and the grassy, yeastie freshness, noticeable all the way around. Overall, a very dry and almost sweet, sugary finish near the tail end. Overall, a good wheat ale, but probably not the best from the brewery. I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from Hannaford in Portland, Maine on 30-July-2016 for US$9,99/six pack, sampled on 17-June-2017 at home in Washington. This bottle was born in June 2016, Batch #505, sampled a year later back in Washington.

Hazy golden coloured body with a honey glow and a rich, three centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of grass, very light earthy and floral hops and a touch of a piney bite near the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and floral notes with some dry wheatie and ligthtly yeast characterstics coupled with some light pine and resin and a very dry, almost peppery finish with hay and more flowers. Aftertaste shows some grain along with the flowers and dry malt along with the super grassy notes and a faint bit of hops and the bitterness associated with them. Overall, a dry and wheatie flavour with some very herbal flavours and a touch of the grainy and mellow flavours associated with it. Nice to sample and very dry and grassy, but also good to sample in the summertime, even if its a year later and a few states removed! I sampled this twelve ounce stubby bottle purchased from Hannaford in Portland, Maine on 30-July-2016 for US$9,99 for the six pack sampled on 28-May-2017 at home in Pungoteague/Onancock, Virginia (Eastern Shore).

Pours hazy gold into a snifter. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving gloppy lacing. Lemon joy, mint and weed aromas. Crisp with summer berries, lemon joy and mango front to back. Dry, lasting pith and bitter earth finish.
