Wild East Brewing Company

 

A: Pours a clear medium golden yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass, moderate amounts of fine particulates in suspension, and moderate amber + burnt orange + honey + brassy colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy foamy very pale beige head that slowly reduces to a large patch of finger thick film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of pine + citrus/grapefruit pith + citrus/grapefruit zest + dank + tropical/passionfruit hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + lightly toasted malts with a light amount of honey-like sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + lightly toasted malts with a light amount of honey-like sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of pine + citrus/grapefruit pith + citrus/grapefruit zest + dank + tropical/passionfruit hops which impart a moderate amount of lingering assertive bitterness.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a light to moderate amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly crisp + dry mouthfeel. Enjoyable classic West Coast IPA hop presence and assertive bitterness.
