Jar "growler". Shared with Gabe. Pours a thick, but poorly retained, white head, with extensive lacing, over a slightly hazy, yellow (SRM 3) body.....nose is cereal malt, light honey, coriander......taste is cereal malts, light honey, coriander, light lemon peel, hints of pear, apple sweetness, leading to a dry, lingering medium bitterness.....mouth feel light of medium, mild astringency, carbonation low. This is a pleasant, crisp, refreshing IPA. The classic American hops are not obvious, and it has a nice hop spice reminiscent of Duvel. BJCP 7/3/15/4/7

Clear bright golden with a medium fluffy white persistent head. The nose was nice and balanced between the two beer styles, with pleasant notes of coriander, bitter leafy hops, and orange peel. Flavor was pleasantly bitter but balanced with nice tones of wheat, coriander and citrus, with a grassy/floral hoppy bitterness throughout. Nice clean and bitter semi dry finish.
