Taster at brewery. Dark golden with fine head, solid lacing. Aroma is light citrus, pine. Taste also offers a balancing act between fruity, citrus flavors and piney hops. Nice malt backbone too. IPA on the softer side while still profiling the hops.

Taster at brewery. Medium golden, light haze, fine, fizzy head, solid lacing. Aroma is light citrus, grapefruit. Taste brings the malts to the front, grapefruit adding a tangy presence to the lips and palate, but fairly malt forward. Not the citrus bomb you'd expect.

Taster at the brewery. Medium golden, flat. Was expecting more citrus, but its in there, offering light accents to the normal wit notes. Faint citrusy aroma. Taste switches gears to the Belgian yeast, and finishes with bready notes. Fades out with a burst of citrus.

Taster at brewery. Medium amber, near flat. Nutty aroma, dark malts. Taste also features light nutty flavors. A bit too light on the roast, very mellow.

Taster at brewery. Wow, this is spot on. Pale golden, light frothy head. Light malty aroma with a hint of lemon. Taste is bready, biscuity and flavorful AF. Light hop sting. A+
