Appearance - Pours crystal clear and golden yellow in color with a white, near two-finger width head. Sub=par retention before peeling back to a mostly barren surface with a thin ring of suds around the edge of the glass.
Smell - Moderate aroma. Slight grain, a bit catty, a touch fruity. Not very enticing.
Taste - Follows the nose. Grainy and slightly fruity while the hops come with through with bitter grass and cattiness toward the finish. Aftertaste lingers with mild fruity sweetness and grassy bitterness.
Mouthfeel - Light-to-medium in body with lively, bitey carbonation. Slick texture with a crisp, dry finish.
Overall - Props for trying something new, but unfortunately the flavor here doesn't quite work as an IPA. Drinks more akin to an extra bubbly hopped lager or blonde ale.

Had this at the Bistro IPA festival 2018. #1 keg because they order it alphabetically. Got to talk to the brewer too, gave a nice rudimentary scientific understanding at what makes a brut(e) such a thing. Basically some champagne/like yeast eats up all the fermentable sugars and just dries the shit out of the mouth feel. Cool.
Pours relatively clear and golden, this was on the west coast ipa side of things as they split the festival up into WC and NE ipas for the first time. Trendsetters. The smells weren't particularly aromatic. Had a little bit of that french oak dryness thing going for it fitting into the brut subgenre decently, but hops were less in your face.
Taste was a seemingly lighter than 7% abv in the mouthfeel, very light grain effect, super dry end game. The hops were seemingly standard stuff of the non proprietary genre dropping mostly grapefruit tastewise. This beer is all about the yeast, and it does have a super dry finish. I like it. Different stuff, evolution etc. . .
