Single hopped IPA more in the spirit of experimentation than the pursuit of well balanced, drinkble beer. Worthy of a try, maybe just once.

Misc.: N/A
Had been hit and miss on this series so far with Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe leading the way. Had heard of Hallertau Blanc and had it in a beer before, but probably could not pick it out separate in a beer. Was looking forward to it.
Poured a pale-to-gold color with two fingers of frothy off-white head when I got it. Some bubble streams coming up from the bottom of the glass. Excellent sporadic lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.25)
Smelled lemongrass, white grape, lactose, white grapefruit, herbal, citrus zest and lingering white pepper. (Smell - 3.75)
Taste followed the nose for the most part. Got white grape, white grapefruit, herbal, hints of menthol, lemongrass white pepper, dry pineapple and citrus zest. (Taste - 3.50)
Medium body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Dry finish. (Feel - 3.50)
This was good overall. Not sure I’d want to try this hop alone again though. (Overall - 3.50)
