12oz can. Honey gold color, clear. Cold, the hops shine nicely. But as it warms the aroma turns into light honey and tea. The flavor is always a bit light. My biggest complaint with session IPAs is that the flavor is thin. Here too.

Pour is a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is a nice dose of fresh fruit hops. Flavor is again a fresh hop with a very minor sweet malt to give the beer some body. The hops are amazeingly fresh in this beer. Finish is a nice fruity and clean hop. For a sessions IPA this is quite hoppy and flavorful.

12 oz can purchased at Brown Bag Liquor in Olathe, Kansas. The pour is hazed golden yellow with a one inch white head head. Bubbly carbonation bubbles rise to the surface. The aroma is floral hops, and a nice fruit pineapple citrus note. Fresh and hop centric. The taste is big hops right away, the floral citrus of the nose, plus solid bitterness and pine. Finish is dry and resinous. The palate is light bodied, bright active carbonation and the dry finish which makes this quite easy drinking. Great take on a style I really enjoy. I am sure I will buy a bunch of this in the future.
