Single Current: Zeus
BKS Artisan Ales

Pours a medium yellow, and completely clear. A large, off-white head forms, and dissipates quickly. Large amounts of delicate lacing.

The smell is definitely more along the lines of BKS' hazies, but there's just enough bitter citrus to stay true to the style. The taste also is more in line with the NE IPAs, but once again, just enough resin to remind you of the intent. The mouthfeel is very light and crisp, but not thin. Finishes with noticeable, but not overpowering, hop bitterness.

This would be a great July beer, but on a cool March evening, it's still very enjoyable.

Pours a nearly clear transparent golden yellow. Transparency is obscured by a very light haze. Head is two fingers of white foam. Aroma is a splash of tropical fruits then dry biscuit, earthy malts, and herbal, red berry, and medicinal hops. Flavor profile is delicate mix of tropical fruits, lemon zest, and faint orange rind, before a sweeping (small) wave of herbal, and medicinal hops. Some earthiness shows through, but it's late. Finish leans into dry, but isn't a full stop for hops, allowing lemon zest, orange rind, and medicinal hops to linger a little while longer. Mouth feel has a soft crispness to it, with a medium thickness. Overall, a refreshing WC IPA with an interesting hop dynamic. Overall, a very intriguing mix-up here, but it's otherwise smooth and clean.

Served in a 15.5oz Spiegelau tulip from a 16oz can.
