Light golden with a distinct floral and honey aroma, this wheat IPA is lively and bright. Bold, citrusy hops and a slightly sweet maltiness make this an easy-drinking yet full-flavored brew

Hazy gold with two fingers of five minute head. Rings and splotches of lace.
Smell is lightly dank hops.
Taste is lightly dank hops with some lemon and good malt support.
Mouthfeel is close to medium with good carbonation. Finish is medium dry and somewhat bitter.
Overall a decent IPA that is easy drinking.

Finishing up the last of the mixed 12 pack.
Poured into a pint the beer is a hazy dark yellow with fluffy off white head. It has sheets of lacing.
It has a nose is citrus and grains. It is fresh and inviting.
The taste is slightly bitter with lemon notes (assume it's the lemon grass) and some slight pepper like spice. It's pretty refreshing and may be a good beer to pair with food.
The mouth is crisp and on the lighter side of medium.
I liked it and could see that it would go well with some medium spiced noodle dishes.
