Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy to tangerine-like hoppiness; light clean malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a bittersweet blend; finishes citrusy
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, light smoothness, subtle hop assertiveness
Overall: nice session IPA, I'd bang again.

Super hazy, golden coloured body that is almost 80% opaque - very nice, all with a thick, three centimetre tall off-white head that lasts for a long time - this is the way a Light IPA should look. Aroma of grass, grapefruit, oranges, light malt, flowers, a bit of pungent hops and way more grapefruit - very nice and citrusey. Light-bodied; Super assertive grassy, floral and pungent citrusey hops run through this, with not much malt, but a lot of bitterness and a pleasant light sweetness coupled with the noticeable orange and citrus flavours. Aftertaste shows a lot of citrus, some pleasant hops and bitterness, a touch of a dry malt (mellow) flavour and some hoppy finishes that are great for the style and drinkability. Overall, a very nice Light IPA with a ton of citrusey and bitter flavours that just work well and show very lightly in terms of cloying textures and pungency - very nice to sample and well worth trying to find if you like any sorts of IPAs! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 26-November-2016 for US$1,79 sampled at home in Washington on 13-January-2017.

Bottle. Super hazy golden yellow, low head to lace. Big citrus nose, zesty, but not too obvious, Citra come out more. Light honey malts. Light and hoppy, nice citrus. Creamy malts. I like this one. Not overdone with the fruit, like so many are. It blends in very well. Quite bitter finish.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Orange peel and lemon aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and peel and pith upfront turning to bitter pith in the lasting finish.

Bot. Looks almost like witbeer. Taste is very strong hop flavors up front, quite bitter and it lasts a long time, whewie. Difficult for a lager lover. has a tad of that veggie feeling in there. Good co2 for an IPA. Yes, a bitter bit of beer fer sure. You’d never know it was less than 5%. Its flavor is over the top and down the sides.

Sampled on draft at Gateway Grill this beer poured a murky yellow-gold color with a medium sized creamy white head that left great lacing. The aroma was tart, citric and perfumey. The flavor was tart and bitter with notes of perfume and cactus. Very long finish. Moderately full bodied. Solid.
