I gotta say Thr3e Wise Men has been impressing me lately. To be perfectly frank they don't have the same focus on beer that most other breweries in town have, offering on average of five beers, one seasonal and four standards, all year round. While most other breweries would have upwards to ten beers on tap, Thr3e Wise Men Keeps it simple. Recently though, they've been stepping up their game in a big way and pumping out some different variations on their beer, including this one.
Scotty Wise is known for naming all his beers after his experiences: Golden Zoe is named after his golden retriever, Two Lucy's after his daughter and wife. Wise Ass makes complete sense in that regard, and the best way to describe this white IPA is as a cross between a more moderate IPA and a wheat beer.
Looking at this one you'd even guess it's a wheat beer, but the nice thing is it has a light hoppiness on the back end, complimented with the sweet wheat flavor. There's a hint of orange and fruit on the nose, but the taste is light and crisp which doesn't overpower one way or another. This is a great springtime beer to welcome in the warming of the weather (or in our case the cooling of the weather off again to most likely warm back up to a snotty rain which will then freeze over and make my morning commute a real turd). Not a beer to push the maximum boundaries of taste and flavor, but ideal for people on the fence with regards to IPA's or Wheat beer.
