Poured on tap at brewery in 5oz tasting glass, then took a grunt home - poured into Spiegalau IPA glass.
Pours a very hazy bright yellow amber, looks more like a wit than a typical IPA. Nice foamy head forms and has really great retention. Some impressive lacing too - much more so than I'd typically expect from an IPA but if it's indicative of the freshness of the hops then no surprise I suppose. Still, very cool.
Nose is big on citrus - fresh orange juice is most obvious. Not much else really comes through here - this is more of a one trick pony on the nose but it's still a damn nice nose. Clean, crisp, juicy.
Flavor is nice, citrus forward IPA with a nice drying bitter. Hop profile is big on fresh juicy citrus. This is incredibly crushable - juicy, nice sweetness but balanced well with the bittering hop profile. Really nice and incredibly well rounded.
Feel is a huge standout here. The notes say it was brewed with a lot of wheat and it has a really lush mouthfeel that's truly a-characteristic of an IPA but works incredibly well. Rich, full, not a single edge to speak of. Perfect carbonation and balance on the finish - drying bitter and fresh orange juice. Clean and perfectly lifted off the palate with a nice lingering bitter, bright orange note. Really, really nice IPA.
