look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Poured into a NB globe.

A: Pours a pale gold color with just over 1 finger head. Small sheets of lacing.

S: Now I know why I was told this one is like Gumballhead - juicy grapefruit, citrus, and tropical hops. No real wheat backbone at all evident.

T: Nice bitter grapefruit and citrus tones. Really not a wheat beer at all, but I came in expecting this. Lemon zest rounds out the hop profile, with no real malt at all on the back - only a faint sweetness.

M: Resinous hops. Moderate carbonation and medium body.

D: Borderline IPA/APA, but enjoyable nevertheless. This one is light enough and crisp enough to be highly drinkable.

Average head, which maintained. Plenty of lacing. Pours a beautiful deep golden color. The smell was understated. An interesting combination of fruity/hoppy flavor. The citrus fruitiness cuts the hoppy bitterness for a delicate balance that was quite drinkable. The 7.5% ABV was surprising. I was looking for a spring/summer ale to replace my beloved quads, and this just might fit the bill.
