Draft at the source, taster size. Clearish yellow solid white head. Earthy floral aroma. Taste is lightly bitter earth. Tasty

Bottom of the can stamped 05/17/16.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a rusty burnt bronzed orange/brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Spider web lacing wove here and there all around the glass. Tried to stick, but slid for the most part.
The smell had the normal \"RA\" sweet (almost sugary) malt bill up front with a decent allowance of bitter grapefruit rind and sweet lemon pulp combining nicely.
The taste was the bitter portion of the grapefruit rind initially and then the sweetness of the malt and lemon pulp. It doesn’t seem to come together and seems to be tasted at different times. Rind seems to grind into my tongue in the aftertaste. Super dry rind-like finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with that grinding bitterness really hitting my tongue super harshly.
Overall, to me, it seems the \"malt bill\" seemed to be pretty heavy for trying to be a \"session IPA.\" Just because the \"ABV\" is lower doesn’t necessarily mean its going to be a \"session IPA.\" The mouthfeel just seems really different. Flavor and aroma seems to show a decent effort, but for the most part, I can’t really see myself coming back to this.

Cloudy yellow. Nose is spiced orange, citra and simcoe. Full body and nice carbonation. A lemon jelly bean and great sparkling water finish
