Had on tap. Cloudy dirty golden body with a white cap and lacing. Nose features slight hops, wheat, grainy passion fruit and papaya, and honey cereal. Actually pretty bright and fruity in the taste, very tropical, with the right amount of cereal wheatiness to balance, but flavors are a bit muddled but not as much as in the nose. Chewy, bright and full in the body. Fun take on the style

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a crowler on August 20, 2017. Light bodied American wheat ale featuring truckloads of Galaxy hops. Expect strong notes of passion fruit. A nice example of a wheat IPA.

32oz crowler, picked it up at the brewery
A - hazy tangerine colored ale with a thinner ivory head that fades to a foam
S - juicy and citric nose with mandarin orange, tangerine, lemon-lime, pineapple, and mango
T - hop forward with complex tropical notes of mandarin orange, pineapple, passion fruit, lemon-lime, mango, and grapefruit juice coupled with light caramel malt and cracked wheat
M - light-to-medium body, lower carbonation as expected from the crowler, actually well balanced with a modest bitter finish
O - nice and juicy IPA with wheat. I love the hop profile. Happy to stumble upon this brewery while working in Chicago

On tap at Dryhop. Look is a nice hazy orange. Smell is wheat and light citrus hops. Taste brings the wheat and some muted hop bitterness. I was hoping for more from the Galaxy hops. Feel is a bit flat, with light carbonation and no noticeable alcohol. Overall average at best. Others do the hoppy wheat thing a whole lot better.
