Growler pours with a hazy opaque deep gold body that has copper hues and supports a thin white head. The aroma offers up some fresh grainy wheat like notes mixed with soft sugar malts. The taste delivers even levels of grainy bready malts and wheated malts followed by lesser amounts of banana esters and clove like spices. To midway there’s a thin quick spike of lemon and then the body and taste soften up into the finish. Enjoyable wheat ale for sure.

Growler pours with a clear copper body that has gold edges and supports a nice tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up some citrus hops and then faint vaguely tropical fruit like hop notes as well as a bit of pine. The taste hits with some pleasing malt sweetened citrus hop flavor like clementine and tangerine and then it rolls into increasing levels of hop bitterness that are edged with a thin resiny almost pine hop like note. Behind the hops is a nice malt base as well as a rye twang that is working well here. Nice IPA.

Growler pours with a hazy deep copper body that has gold edges and supports a nice tan head that is the result of a somewhat vigorous pours. The modest aroma offers up malt sweetened tangelo fruit as well as mild levels of coriander like spices and banana yeasty esters. The taste begins with coriander and clove and a sliver of banana esters before a smooth modest fresh tangelo fruitiness hits near midway and grows nicely into the finish and after taste. Around the edges of the flavor is a nice malt base. Great hot weather beer.
