Sampled on tap at the brewpub. Pours a hazy, yellow orange with a frothy white head. Nose is hoppy, citrus, malty, wheaty, well balanced. Flavor is the same, good malt backbone, lemon, citrus zest. Full bodied, lightly bitter finish.

On tap, clear golden amber with no head, aroma is dry yeast, flavor is yeasty hops with a dry finish not much flavor

Draught at the brewpub. hazy gold with a white head. Spicy citrus in the aroma. Light malt sweetness, some citrus flavor but not much considering the style, and a rather weird finish that gets spicy and alcoholic. Medium bodied. Doesn’t really seem like a double ipa at all to me, wheat or not. Drinkable, but a bit odd.

First! Draught at Baily’s in Portland. Little musty in taste. Wheat and IPA mix in interesting way leaving a different type of taste in your mouth. Good.
