Citrusy hops and subtly sweet malts finish dry and smooth so you can shift gears into easy drinking and all-day sipping!

Can for $2.50. Pour is clear pale yellow. Mild fresh, perhaps a tad of citrus, nose. White head fades immediately to nuttin. First taste is like an APA, not sure how this could be called an IPA. It does lack that typical veggie feeling you get with many session IPA. Clean, fresh. In the middle, I'm maybe now getting a little more IPA bitterness. I don't particular;y like IPA, but this one is not bad. I've had many APA that were much more IPA-ish bitter than this. Could use a little more co2. Not as good as North Peak Wanderer, Maumee Bay Summer Stinger, Saranac Session IPA nor Ballast Point Even Keel, but I find it acceptable as a lager lover.

Can from a multi pack. Lightly hazy amber, decent head. Citrus nose, flavor is pretty full bodied for a session but still dry, nice pine notes with hints of caramel. Really nice session beer.
