Thanks kantrauch! Hazy straw yellow with white head. Aroma of wheat citrus lemon and Brett. Very carbonated and effervescent. Taste dry wheat and bitter hops. Good but the effervescence does take away from the taste.

Zeebra Extreme Beer Festival - Wispy white head and very pale yellow colour, looks like a Hoegaarden. Aroma is hoppy with light sourness too. Body is quite thin. Flavour is spicy, yeasty, peppery with a fresh sour edge and moderate hoppiness running through it.

Bottle:   Pale yellow, hazy, white IPA may be about right, large frothy white head, sticky lacing.   Bright funky nose, certainly hoppy, but the musty basement and Brett funk (while not too strong) seem to dominate.  
Hoppy, a bit pithy, but also tart and dry.   Somewhat assertive white oak like flavors, but not too bright.   Right off the bat I wish this one was a bit sweeter and juicy, but it certainly is of the tart and dry variety all
while remaining hoppy.   Brett seems not fully matured, oak and hops are soft.   Seems fairly dry on the finish.   Body and mouthfeel are full to moderate.   This is nice, but it needs more juicy citrus like sweetness.   Perhaps if it were, it wouldn’t be a "White IPA".   Very well crafted otherwise.
