12 oz bottle in a trade with Matt B. No date coding of any kind. Clear in color gold, plenty of carbonation with lasting head. Aroma is mild at best. Light citrus with subtle floral hops.

The flavor is subtle floral, pine and earty hints. Not offensive or off in anyway. However, it is like many other "session" IPA’s, a watered down shell of what the beer COULD be. I wish I could try this at a higher gravity because this seems like it has some potential.

Slightly hazy gold with a tall white head. Plentiful citrus hops in the aroma and some biscuit. Comes along with a solid citrus bitterness that isn’t overpowering. Finishes lightly biscuity with lingering fruity hops. Enjoyable IPA Light.

Bad string of luck at the beer store the other day, all the beers kinda sucked and this one is only a slight exception. Nice enough nose for an IPA, pleasing citrus (grapefruit and lime rind), slight floral hints. Flavor though was just all hop, resinous and sticky and fizzy carbonation. No malt to speak of, not even a hint of bready sweetness, just really really dry and fizzy hop juice. I can understand the desire to not mess up an IPA with too much sweet malt but you gotta have more than this. Pleasing light gold color, a bit hazy, nice lacing.

12 ounce bottle from Kroger Athens, OH. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin fizzy white head. Fair head retention. Aroma of earthy, pine, resin hops, mild citrus and caramel malt. The taste is bitter citrus, resin hops, pale malt, crackery notes. Medium bodied, fairly strong lingering bitterness. Decent.

Sediment on bottom of bottle. Slight haze on a pale beer. Smell is certainly IPA hops. I always thought the rudeness in IPA came from the hi alky % but these session IPA prove that wrong. Yes, terribly on style, nasty nellie long bitter hops finish wew. Each slug is full ipa, sometimes IIPA, charisma. Is there such a style as a session IIPA? If so, put this in it.
