Most Green White IPA: Boulevard Collaboration No 2

The race is one.  Today is the release of the highly anticipated Boulevard Collaboration No 2 White IPA.  Most places are putting a limit of two per person.  I grabbed to on the way home, and my wife picked up two for me as well.  My wife is the best.

750 ml bottle poured into a Smokestack tulip. I poured to the stop line, and then head rockets to the rim. There is a mix of tightly packed small bubbles and large, soapy bubbles in the foam. The body color is a hazy lemon yellow.

The smell is very green. Lots of sweet pine and fresh green herbs from the sage and lemongrass. Coriander is dominant, though a faint orange blossom comes through in the end. The taste is still very piney and green. The hops and coriander make a great blend. The sage herbal quality gives a nice bite. Once again the orange comes in late with a kiss of sweetness.

There is a mild oiliness to the mouthfeel, which I attribute to the orange peel. Still very soft overall. This is great hot weather beer. Very refreshing. Clean with a hint of sweetness.
