Orange yellow pour. Citrus, hops and light malts. Similar taste. Lot of flavor despite low abv.

Bottle to nonic pint glass, the appearance was a hazy yellow color almost bronze with a quickly dissipating little white foamy head that left no lace.
The aroma had some sweet citrus juice/somewhat like pulp but pulled out. Grassy sweet hops. Seemed to come across more like grapefruit as it warmed.
The flavor was super sweet all of the way through and spotted the aftertaste in the same fashion. Finish was sticky sweet.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, not so sure about this one. But Frank \"get off my lawn.\"

This IPA poured a medium amber colour with a big, rocky, bright white head. Minimal lacing. Scents include old books, grass and pot. First swig was very nice and creamy with very good hop malt balance. Grassy hops and a little caramel. Finish is lightly bitter with a nice hop flavour lingering.

Tap. Rather plain nose, some citrus. Flavor also not so distinguished. Light crackery mlts, citrus hops, medium bitterness. Light and drinkable but not interesting.

Draft @Sunset Grill & Tap. Crystal clear piss yellow, thick retention. Aroma is later yeast and weak bread malt. Is this a left over keg from before the Brewery re-did the recipe?? The flavor is mostly mild sweet malt. Barely a hint of an herbal hop in the finish. Real thin and watery body. I was looking for some bitterness and got nothing but weak malt. Men.

Bottle. Crackery caramel malt, sweet citrusy hops aroma. Clear brassy gold with a large white head. Bready caramel malt, and herbal citrus peel hops flavor. Medium body, average carbonation. A lighter flavored, malt forward IPA.

12oz bottle. When I first saw this months back I thought it was pretty cool that they put the Imperial Lager in 6packs. Guess not. Orange-tan body, glass lacing white head. The hops aren’t so tropical or fruity, more along the lines of amarillo. Pretty tasty Pale Ale, but it doesn’t really have that much hop depth.

A bodega at the corner in Brooklyn:Pours light gold with a white head. Aroma is a good amount of citrus hops. Very light pale malt backbone. Taste is a little bitter, but this is on the less hoppy side of the session IPA world. Very easy to drink. Pleasant.

Lillies and lemongrass nose, not strong. Clear amber, thick head, good lacing. Earthy lilles and soil flavor, mossy. Light body, low carbonation, but not watery. A little like vase water. Low bitterness, fair hop aroma and flavor. Really very drinkable. True to style, but needs just a bit more volume.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/19/2014. Pours moderately cloudy deep gold color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, light pine, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with bright citrus/grassy hops and light-moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, herbal, floral, grass, light pine, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate amount of floral/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, herbal, floral, grass, light pine, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a bit. Nice and pleasant flavors with solid robustness of bright citrus/grassy hops and light-moderate pale malt sweetness; with a very nice malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbon can light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish as expected of 4.6%. Overall this is a nice and pleasant session IPA. Good balance and solid robustness of bright citrus hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
