Notes / Commercial Description:
Legend has it Ghostrider roams Utah's Wasatch Range seeking revenge: “someone” stole his White IPA recipe. Smooth and crisp, it's made from pale barley and citrusy hops. It's too good to hide!
Ghostrider is an unfiltered White IPA brewed with coriander.

Appearance: Pours slightly hazy and golden colored with an impressive head; strong retention and good lacing
Smell: Floral and grassy with coriander and citrus tones
Taste: A hint of grain, in the front end, with some floral and grassy flavors building; through the middle, the citrus builds, a bit, and the coriander arrives; somewhat grassy in the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: Some nice elements here but I would prefer to see more of a hop presence

Pours a very light golden color. The head is very impressive, never completely fading as I very slowly drank this down. If you are familiar with Belgian wheat beers and white IPAs, you should be able to have a grasp of what this tastes like before you drink it. It's quite light and goes down easy, with a zesty lemony hop-forward flavor. The finish is very dry and mildly bitter, with hardly any maltiness present. This is the only white IPA I've ever had, so hard to say how it compares, but I surely enjoy it, and it would likely be palatable to anyone scared off by the intense hoppiness of a normal IPA as it goes down pretty easy.

A great beer, Hops and citrus that fades into a low coriander and finishes with a dryness that is impressive for a beer.
Taste Rating in Words: It's an infinity pool in the middle of the desert on a beautiful day.
