Fluffhead is a fruity, hazy IPA that balances a soft malt body with copious dry hop additions. Flaked oats, English yeast, and special water treatment produce a fluffy, round body. Generous late addition hopping with Mosaic, Chinook, and Azacca delivers pungent notes of tangerine, papaya, and spruce. Fluffhead finishes silky smooth, with just a hint of balancing bitterness.

I've been impressed with Block 15 after finding them about a year ago. I haven't found anything they brew to be bad. very light in color with a light haze. very crisp tasting. Pretty strong hops, but not all that bitter. Rated 9-2-2018

A 16 ounce pint from the tap at a public house served in a shaker pint.
Look- Straw, very hazy, above average head retention and lacing.
Smell- Clementine, papaya, between weak and medium strength of scent.
Taste- Clementine, papaya, pithy, between weak and medium strength of flavor.
Feel- Medium body, average carbonation, highly creamy, mild astringency, low bitterness.
Overall- This beer provided an average drinking experience. The look was exceptional, but the rest of the beer was very average. The bouquet and flavor were pleasant, but underpowered.

Taster at brewery. Pale straw hazy body, thin, sturdy white foamy head. Light citrus, fruity aroma and taste, gentle on the palate. Oats provide a creamy, thick body for this.

Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a finger of rocky head that dissipates to a thin ring with plenty of lacing. Aroma of pineapple and orange. Taste follows nose.

Cloudy golden haze. Juicy Fruit gum flavor, but without the gum part. Citrus, tropical fruit, a bit of sweet caramel but not much. Fruity esters, a bit of grapefruit zest also. Touch floral. Medium bodied, soft, nice carbonation, delicious.

Original overall BA score = 4.12
Update, pour at Growler Guys in Spiegelau IPA glass..
Lowered appearance from 4.25 to 3.75, as now quite hazy.
Lowered taste to 4.0, lots of astringency and possibly some hop burn that lingers quite awhile.
New BA score = 3.99
