In short: A hoppy/grassy wheat beer with a iodisation problem. Bad keg?
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Cloudy dark yellow body topped by a medium white head with good retention
In long: Nose is tropical fruits with pineapples and bananas coming with out on top, dried grass, and a strange iodised salt spiciness, pure iodine smell here?!? Taste has some bananas, some wheat, mild acidity, sundried yellowed grass, some other stuff. But again is it is this strong iodine-like spiciness that screwed things up and to top it off the beer was totally over-carbonated which added acidity and increased the iodised salt sensation. There was obviously something wrong with my glass or the entire batch. Zero Gravity is not the greatest brewpub on earth but it is unlike them to screw something up like this, my glass should not have been served. I can really see myself one day murdering someone who serves me a bad beer like that, does that make me a psychic or a psychotic?

Good hops, citrus, pine abound. Solid malted wheat character. Good carb, solid mouthfeel. Soft wheat, pine finish. Medium bitterness with a trailing citrus aftertaste. Super refreshing.

On tap at American Flatbread in Burlington, VT. Pours a cloudy orange body with a finger-width, dense and frothy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is big bready wheats with some brighter citrus florals. Very wet and doughy smelling that smells exactly like a brewery mashing an IPA, which I’m digging. A light grassy zest and a touch of spice. Flavor is similar, but I’m not digging it quite as much as the aroma. Lots of bready and grainy wheats with a bigger floral citrus hopping. A touch of pine spice in the middle before this finishes grassy and dry with a medium bitterness. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium-light body and a medium-high, soft carbonation. Overall, an interesting beer. The wheats are big and give off a real "mash" note that I liked in the aroma more than the flavor. Plenty of floral and grassy citruses. Not a bad beer.

A hazed blonde IPA with a thick collapsing lacing off white head. In aroma, nice piney and grassy hops, a bit of bubblegum, citrus notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice smooth wheat malt with piney hops, grapefruit pulp, creamy, nice. On tap at American Flatbread Burlington, April 7 2012.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy gold yellow with a white head. Aroma of lots of citrus and passion fruit, extremely fruity nose, also some floral hops and candi sugar. Flavor of sweet citrus and bitter hops initially followed by wheaty and grainy malt and a bitter hops finish. One of the more interesting IPAs I’ve had recently and this one is well done. Very unique too. 7/4/7/4/14 [3.6/5]

On tap at American Flatbread. Pours a hazy almost milky yellow gold with a medium large white head. Soft wheat, a little bit of citrus and pine, not as much of a hop profile as I was expecting from the description, and especially after the big grassy IPA earlier. Medium bodied, hops come through here a little more, some nice juicy hop flavors, earthy over wheat. Finishes with a slowly developing soft bitterness. Pretty good.
