3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Location: 22 oz bottle from Whole Foods-Bowery, 12/30/12, IIPA Rating #150
Aroma: The nose has pineapple, orange, and grapefruit mostly, with some underlying malty notes
Appearance: A slightly hazy orange colored beer with a small, frothy white head that leaves light lace
Flavor: The taste is a little sweet, with lots of citric fruity flavors, and a medium-plus hop bitterness
Palate: Medium bodied, with a smooth, slightly sticky feel, soft carbonation, and a lightly dry finish
Overall Impression:
I thought this was a pretty solid citrus-forward, almost acidic example of an IIPA. I didn’t really find much noticeable wheat here, mostly just the citric hops and light, underlying maltiness. Maybe you could say it’s a touch too one-dimensional, as those citrusy flavors really dominate the beer, but I still really enjoyed drinking it.

Very nice citrusy lemony wheat DIPA. Lightly tart with nice medium bitterness and very little sweetness. Great beer from a great brewery.

At diciccos it says it’s a summer beer but it doesn’t taste old. Tastes very wheaty, great bru
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from South Bay Drugs: Created a thick and foamy head that looked like a patch of shaving cream on top of a golden liquid. As for the nose, there is a scent of organic hops and malt that are rather well balanced in aroma. The flavor is mild with a taste of grainy bread like malts and also a taste of organic hops that come across bitter yet subtle. Certainly an interesting beer and concept with the recipe, but nothing I would rave and rant about to my friends who haven’t had Midnight Sun before.

750ml poured into glass. Clear and crisp pour, golden-ish brown with minimal head. More citrus then hops in the aroma. The flavor is geared towards the hops and is damn bitter. Nice beer to say the least.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Poured a orange to dirty brown with a lacing two finger off white head. Aroma is somewhat unexpected fruit and hops. Taste is very weird with that hops bittering upfront yet a mellow veggie and malt finish. There’s a drying finish on the tongue.

From bottle purchased in norcal. Hazy golden pour thick ass head. Grassy floral aroma with a very bitter taste.
