Reviewed one week after can release. Poured into a tulip glass. It pours an opaque, bright pastel lemon color with a fluffy, milk-white cap and foamy lacing. The nose is bright and fruity with lemon, lime, grapefruit, subtle floral notes, and the unmistakable aroma of Nelson Sauvin hops. Its taste opens fairly bitter with the New Zealand tropical fruit notes in the background. The Nelson hops provide the expected dry, white wine grape flavor. One the whole the flavor is more dry and slightly bitter than sweet and tropical. There is a nice, slightly bready, malt base lurking in the background. The mouth feel is full-bodied with pleasant carbonation, and the 7.8% ABV gives it good substance. Overall, I expected Spreader Bar to be sweeter and more tropical but it's nonetheless a very flavorful and easy drinking DIPA. Another winner from Slack Tide.
