#62 Lily White Session White IPA

Brew date: June 26, 2017

Appearance: Light straw gold, with very very slight haze. Thick foamy white head, almost marshmallow-y. Lacing sticks to the glass.

Aroma: Sweet honey floral orange, sweet citrus, orange blossom.

Taste: Light body, bitter but not biting at all, nice wheat character with some bready notes. Finishes dry and refreshing. 

Final thoughts: I am really very happy with the way this beer turned out! It's everything I could want in a session IPA with the added character from the wheat. The beer finishes dry and refreshing. Perfect for a hot summer day.
