Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a light golden bronzed sort of copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipates fairly quick. Some bubbles within the lace.
The aroma had some citrus and floral qualities flowing over a light piney-ness underneath. Low key malt bill.
The flavor leads with some bitter sharp citrusy rind-like qualities over the floral bitter components, mainly stays bitter. Not much sweetness. And even the bitterness seems to lead into the aftertaste and ride on into the finish.
On the palate, this one was light bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. Good sturdy carbonation and the ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, fits the session IPA style, in my opinion. Thanks Andy for the can.

New Beer Distributors, NYC can: pours hazy light orange with a white head. and some lace. Aroma is tropical fruit combo as soon as you pour it. Taste is lightly bitter. Some bite is there certainly through the finish and all. Some maltiness. Not a great session IPA, but perfectly sessionable.

An orange amber ale with a thick frothy lacing light mocha head. In aroma, nice caramel malt with treacle, grassy floral hops, grapefruit pulp, nice and smooth. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with light vinous notes, light coffee, grassy hops, nice and surprising. On tap at CNY Brewfest 2016.

Can shared at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Better Beer Of The Month Club. Hazy golden with a white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus, some tropical fruits and a bit of pine. Flavor is quite dry with a sweetish touch, fruity hops and a moderately bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Nice and refreshing.

Can at home in Salisbury, CT. Pours mostly clear burnished yellow with a frothy, lace-leaving white head.clean citrusy hop aroma with plenty of pith, along with dry pale malts, light pine, biscuits. Light sweet flavor with some further biscuity pale malts, hints of salty sourdough bread, more pithy citrus, grapefruit, subtle tangerine, lemon rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean and very well balanced on the finish with lasting, lightly bitter citrus pith, some lemon rind, grapefruit, pine needles, dry pale malts. Textbook session IPA.

Keg at the Pony Bar Hell’s Kitchen - NYC. Pours clear gold with a decent, frothy white cap. It’s a very nice and highly drinkable APA. Good dried grapefruit presence, some rindy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced on the finish. Solid offering.
