A drier IPA for the summer, brewed with French Aramis hops to create an aroma of fresh cut flowers and garden herbs.

A: This poured a clear light gold with a little white head.
S: It smelled like orange zest and a little grapefruit and floral hops.
T: It tasted like light grassy and floral hops, with some fresh wheat. It had a clean bitter aftertaste.
M: It was watery with moderate carbonation. Light body.
D: This was an interesting unique IPA, but the scent and taste weren't great. The body was weak, but the finish was really smooth. So, easy enough to drink. Meh.

July 7th, 2015 - New Belgium's French Amaris is a curious brew. To the eye it looks a lot like a blond ale, thick and heavy with shaving cream style foam up top. The nose features some mild tangerine and a lemon freshness, as does the taste. But the flavor ropes in some subtler marshmallow sweetness as well. Fluffy and nice, it's a soft and gently fruity beer with a whipped citrus note to clear the palate.

From the bottle, it pours amber with a nice, fluffy off-white head, which lasts a bit. Lacing as the beer is enjoyed. The nose detects some floral hops. The mouth enjoys the welll balanced flavor. Yum!
