750 ml bottle purchased at 7-11 Kittery, ME. Hazy straw color with thin head in the snifter. Aroma is wheat, zesty yeast, and mild yeast.

Flavor is is spot on for style, nice spicy yeast in the finish. The citrus is here as well with it being an under current. Mouthfeel is pretty nice, kind of lively, crisp. Very mild hop in there for balance.

Draft at GLB, cloudy gold with decent head retention. Nose is fruity Belgain yeast with a light spice in there as well. Pale malts. Body is yeasty with a chewy body. The flavor is a good amount of citrus and dried fruits upfront. The bitterness is light and herbal with some lingering affect.

The Bear lists this this as a farmhouse IPA, I agree. The balance of yeast and hop bitterness is married well in this brew. I find this interesting and rather tasty. Nice flagship brew.
