On tap @ The Pony. This is a soft blurry yellow golden one, only a soft bubbly white head on the top but still quite side clinging. Lots and lots of wit aromas here. Its also really hoppy and quite good smelling. Peppery and wittish. Tastes pretty good also. Mild soapy at first cause theres a fair amount of bitterness. Then really fruity evolving. Green apples and hops. Just about average on the bubbles and its mild oily in the mouth. Easy to drink. Not a bad one at all. 12.06.2015

Draught @ The Baroness. Hazy bright yellow with small foamy white head, faint citrus aroma, medium carbonation, hoppy taste with a hint of citrus zest, long medium bitter finish. Nice but not spectacular.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/3/2014. Pours hazy/murky deep gold color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of bright grapefruit, lemon peel, tangerine, orange zest, coriander, clove, black pepper, herbal, grass, wheat, bread, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of bright citrus hops, fruity/spicy yeast, coriander, and pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of bright grapefruit, lemon peel, tangerine, orange zest, coriander, clove, black pepper, herbal, grass, wheat, bread, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Moderate amount of earthy spiciness/hop bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, lemon peel, tangerine, orange zest, coriander, clove, black pepper, wheat, bread, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity and robustness of bright citrus hops, fruity/spicy yeast, coriander, and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/yeast/spice balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly prickly mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice white IPA! All around good balance and complexity of bright citrus hops, fruity/spicy yeast, coriander, and pale malt flavors; and extremely smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Location: Draft at Surf City, 6/28/14

Aroma: The nose of this one is citrus zest, wheat, and some spice
Appearance: The beer pours a hazed golden color with a smallish head
Flavor: The flavor is much the same, citrus/lemon and spice mostly, some what notes
Palate: the body is light-medium, it has an average-plus carbonation, and an okay feel
Overall Impression: I thought this was an okay beer. Nothing more than that though. Just an okay beer.
