Malt: 2-Row, White Wheat, Oats
Hops: Citra, Mosaic, Cryo Idaho 7
Golden and hazy in appearance. Medium body.
Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Malt character is minimal, as hops take center stage in this brew. Enjoy strong orange and tangerine aromas with just the right amount of sweetness.

Very palatable hazy IPA. Smells of citrus followed by hops, not too bitter.

12 oz. can, canning information on the bottom is smeared and unreadable. My third beer from Alter Brewing Company, from the neighboring town of Downers Grove. Acquired a single can as part of a mixed six pack at the local Binny's.
Poured to a Samuel Smith nonic pint glass.
Cloudy yellow body, some bubbles floating topside. Finger and a half of thick creamy white froth for a head. Some good scattered lacing. Looks good.
Aromas of citrus and orange dreamsicle abound. Tons of fruity fresh hop cones, pine, lemon / citrus zest, and a hint of bready caramel malt. Smells super citrusy and acidic.
Immensely juicy body. Tons of orange juice, mango, papaya, grapefruit, banana smoothie fruit flavors. I was expecting less juice flavor based on the color and paleness of the body.
Overall, enjoyable, but I always have a hard time with beers like this. Flavorful, yet indistinct, another member of the overcrowded style.
Alter Brewing Ambigram -----4/5.
