Brix City Brewing "Dad Shorts"

Notes via stream of consciousness: I'm pretty sure this is my first beer from Brix City. Interesting name, by the way, but not a lot of brewers work in brix. It's poured a super cloudy, turbid yellow body beneath a two-finger thick head of white. I'm not sure I've ever seen a beer this milky, and yet the color doesn't seem effected. It's fruity in the nose, mainly pineapple-ish, but also with some mango and papaya, and orange. On to the flavor... well, as usual, the nose indicates what the flavor will be. Am I missing any fruity notes? ... apricot, and a bit of lime, actually a very good bit of lime, but it's like lime zest, not lime juice, there's no acidity to it. There's some resin and pine to it as well, and even a touch of onion & garlic like you might find in a beer with Summit hops. The head has held up nicely and there's some primo lacing about the glass where the head had originally been. So what am I missing? Why is this not fantastic? That's one of those mysteries that are really hard to solve. It's not too bitter, but bitter enough - ahh, that's actually partly "hop burn" that I'm tasting - and I'd call it really nicely balanced. Mmmm, that lime note keeps coming back to me and I wonder what hop they've used to achieve that. You can research that yourself if you want, I don't really care, but it is growing on me. It's got a nice tropical vibe to it. As for the malt, well it's about as basic as you can get. I'm guessing it's just pale malt, not to be confused with pale ale malt, and that works as it doesn't interfere with the hop flavors at all. In the mouth it's medium to medium-light in body but with a bit more mouthfeel because of the haze - did they use oats? I don't know. It's a touch zesty with a very fine-bubbled carbonation that livens it. In the end I have to call it pretty proper. New England IPA is a pretty wide style despite what some may say, and I think they've pretty much nailed the "juicy/hazy" side of it.

L - pours a flat, dark orange. Glows healthily in the evening sun though. Big white head.
S - wet lemon bread and tangerine twang. Whiffs of onions and the dank.
T - crisp orange blossom and light syrupy sweetness. Lemon drop and bread. Been getting a fair amount of bread, and now that I read the label, I'm seeing spelt. Adds a smooth, full creaminess in both flavor and feel. Candied papaya and pineapple work their way in at the very end, along with mild bitterness.
F - quite full-bodied for 6%. Lively carbonation in a viscous, chewy package.
O - no clue what dad attire has to do with this, but I'm a fan. Manages to be light and easy-going, yet at the same time hearty and satisfying. All function, regardless of form. So... dad shorts?
