12 oz stubbie bottle.
Good, golden clarity on the pour with an impressive amount of head and some nice sticky lace (just like that you would expect from a West Coast IPA – read on!).
Nose and tastes are ALL light grapefruit with a fairly seriously dry finish which puts this beer firmly in the American DIPA/IPA category in terms of its tastes. There is a faint fruit aftertaste and the wheat lingers a little in the background, but it is very faint and without knowing that this was supposed to be a Wheat based beer I would never, ever detect it.
There is a bit of peachy, orange floral taste in the background as well, but this is essentially drinking like a west coast IPA.
The beer does back away from the bitterness a little as one drinks the beer, but there is still a lingering feeling that you are drinking a “C” hop based beer.
